Vegetarian

[Artificial]

Personal thread

To be brief, a couple of months back a night out with the boys turned in to a real nightmare. There was a big all in brawl on the side of the road, and quite a few people got seriously hurt. Since then, I find myself becoming more of a pacifist, both in the literal sense of the word and by extension the way I conduct myself online. Where I once could have lived with acts of scamming and hacking, I now turn away from the mere thought of it (fear not though, for I don't care if anyone else does it, so long as my conscience remains clean).

Which brings me to the topic title. I was eating a large steak last night, and realised that I don't necessarily enjoy it more than I do any other dish. I'm the kind of guy that could easily live of 2 minute noodles and microwave meals - food isn't that big of an issue for me. It got me thinking then, why should animals have to die to put food in my stomach? And with that, Alex the vegetarian was born.

It's my hope that by declaring it (semi) publicly, I stick with it, and was wondering if anybody else wanted to give it a go? :p If not, does anybody have any great Vegetarian dishes I can cook up. I started off with carrot sticks with Vegemite, and a pear for lunch. I'm hoping I can improve on that.

I'll stick to eating meat but I don't care much for steak. xD

Don't eat Dolphins though, they're toxic and endangered! (Watched the Crove tonight, pretty sick...)

Vegetarian? I would never have seen that coming.

I'd never even contemplate eating a dolphin, so nrries there :p

In fact, when I think about it, I've only eaten 5-6 different animals: fish, chicken(and other peasants), lamb, cow, pig, kangaroo, crocodile. Unless I'm blanking on anything else?

Where the hell did eat a crocodile?

Haha, that's good, The Japanese are feeding that crap to kids in school and it's compulsory! They MAKE you eat something with 20 times the recommended maximum mercury intake...

They were selling Ostrich burgers at a festival I was at the other day.... e-e

Oh and thanks Enjoi.

Hmm. I generally contemplate eating cow, crocodile, fish, chicken, and dolphins. Women too. But that's a different kind of eating.

Iv tried going vegan for awhile, Stuck with stuff like yogurt, granola, and other things, but meh, Soda and chinese food is so damn addictive i think its worth the heart failure.

If you're looking to do it long term I suggest starting off being a polo-pescetarian and then move to being a pescetarian. Eventually becoming a vegetarian. That's how I managed to stick to it for so long. Maybe once a month I'll have a pasta and tuna dish, but that's a rare occasion.

I have pretty good self control, and when I say I'm going to do something, I generally stick with it :p

@aleena - I'm a vegetarian, not a vegan :p But, I will try to buy freerange and organic when I can.

If i can't suck meat you know for sure im no vegetarian.
