Humans are omnivores -- our teeth define us. We have canines in the front for tearing flesh (carnivores) and we have molars in the back for grinding (herbivores). On this planet, all life feeds on death. Being a vegan is a choice -- most I've spoken with are concerned about taking a life with a face. If you're going to be a vegan, you must ingest plants with a high protein content -- legumes and beans.That should help with the craving for meat. Search the internet for more.

I’m mostly meat and dairy free by necessity of my health...but when I can tolerate it, I love me some barbecue and frozen yogurt. My diet is so restricted that when I CAN eat things I love, you can bet that I will!
I get the philosophy of lowered cruelty, etc, but I also feel it’s a personal choice. Each of us must choose and not force our choice on others. IMHO.

ha ha...this made me laugh...grilling at 3 am...ha ha ha good for you...

Vegan? What’s that? Does it include meat?

I was vegetarian while at university - purely a budget thing ... was tempted by a bacon buttie and now eat more or less anything when necessary

I don't allow vegans in my home.

ooh man I wouldn't last. Especially during PMS when I am in constantly starving mode no amount of grains and veggies would suffice! Give me my meat or give me death!

LMAO deserved it

My vegan hiking partner, Karen, loves lecturing me on the superiority of her diet, the meat industry, treatment of cows, etc. It's gross and upsetting.

"Stop it, Karen!" Susan and I said. "I want to enjoy the hike."

I never badger Karen about her diet. She tends to be overweight and eats a lot of processed vegan cookies. My lips are sealed.

Since nowadays many of those who are lefty and non-believers are at least vegetarian if not vegan, with my luck the only hipster single women in my age group that I meet online or offline will be vegan and will also reject me if I refuse to join them in that, which is something I am not willing to do. I am becoming a minority within a minority and it sucks to know that. My only saving grace might be my age, in that most of the vegan women are more commonly in the younger age groups than mine. My observation is that the Unitarians in my area, esp. in Des Moines, are so zealous about being PC that even the women my age at that church are probably all at least vegetarian, so they can fit in and feel comfortable there.

their bodies feel cold and they look all grey and sickly. thumbs down!

I don't think I could ever do vegan. But maybe vegetarian. I'd probably only last a few weeks.

Yeah that’s one of those things, I guess because I am very liberal, I seem to often get dating site matches to vegans. And I always think, “damn that’s a lot of hassle to deal with.”

Did she try to force you to eat only veggies?

It won't last 10 days with me. Maybe 10 minutes!
