As of Monday I am going to be a veggie (sort of)

[fredfelt]

It's not really that hard you just need self control.

If you *want* to do something or give up something, then you'll do it, right?

If being vegie needed self control I'd still be eating meat. Meat just repluses me so it was simple to go veggie.

I Think Firky is going to find it very hard if he stull likes the stuff. Good luck though.

Firky I recommend 'Leiths Vegeterian Bible' for nutrition advice and some yummy recepies.

Hmmmm, interesting. In my head, I do wish I could eat meat, I believe that I really like it. I loved bacon, roast lamb, a good steak etc. sometimes I still wish to eat them….. However, if one was put down on a plate infront of me and I was told to eat it, I don’t think I could do it. But I think that’s for moral reasons rather than taste. The thought of eating what once was a living thing, actual flesh repulses me, not the taste….

mmmmm…. Bacon sarnies *drools*

Just the same way I feel. Apart from the bacon sarnie. Althought cooking bacon has an appealing smell it still turns my stomach, if that makes sence!

It was you which really put this notion in my head, some of the stuff you cooked - fucking lush, and that curry you bought, mmmmmmm jesus that was good albeit hot (which one was it again? I looked for it on Monday at my local curry house (which is 20 sodden miles away) ).

It isn't really the fluffy animal part of it for me. I look at a cow and I think giant walking steak, I look at pigs and I see sausages. I was at a wild life sanctury today and they had some rare breeds there and I thought "I wonder what they taste like?".

It is more for my own health and because intensive farming is vile, not only for hte animals put the people who work there. Saw acres upon acres of polly tunnels in Hampshire once upon a time - growing English strawberries in October and it made me frustrated. So... I am going to only eat seasonal veg and stuff farmed in britain. I try and do that anyway - never knowingly buy stuff that has been shipped in from abroad. Apart from nanas

Day three and today I have had a pint of egg and milk with a strawberry yoghurt and honey in for breakfast, some crap three bean salad thing from the wild life sanctury and now I'm eating a slive of olive bread with stilton.

I ate a pack of beef flavoured crisps last night with out thinking and upon closer inspection they were safe for plastic veggies like myself

You destroyed my love of the tiger prawn

I downloaded an Ebook on veggie cooking last night and it won't bloody open

I am going to find it hard, yeah, very hard.


P.S
Are you that bloke I met in the Penguin?

 

[Firky]

Why do I always read threads from back to front? I do the same with magazines!

Have you resisted temptation then firky?

So far! I went out last night and Swanny was having a BBQ with a few others. I popped around just as things were starting to cook and sizzle - the only veggie thing they had going was breadbuns and tomato sauce. So I said I wasn't hungry and looked upon them feasting with hunger cramps

Not in the Penguin, but in the Cape of Good Hope.

That book is huge by the way!

 

[Firky]

Aahh yeah, hello again

That book is huge by the way!

I read the reviews on Amazon, someone said it is for those who fancy themselves as a serious cook. I will see if I can keep this up before I start throwing money on books and things. It would be so much easier if I lived on my tod again, and not smell frying bacon and things.

There's loads of sweets that have animal products in too - and even strawberry milkshake. Don't really want to think about what part of the animal they put in milkshake.

You need to eat some meat to build your strength back up.

 

[Pol]

apparently meat eaters eat like 4,000 dead animals in their career of eating dead things.

 

[tarannau]

Cool. I must be on at least 3956 already.

Like, 4000 cows each?

The average life is 22,000 days, according to the Moody Blues. That's one cow every 5.5 days!

 

[WouldBe]

That's one cow every 5.5 days!

American sized portions.

 

[Herbsman.]

I eat way more cow meat than prawns. But I eat a lot of oysters.

There's supposedly *bits* of about 4,000 cows in the average hamburger from McDonald's or suchlike...

Given the small size of mcd hamburgers now, that must be one molecule from each of those cows.
