Personally, I oppose cruelty to all animals except humans, and fish. I can't say I eat either, though.

It's a good way to catch prion diseases, even if it's cooked.

My favorite food is.......................

i like it too suni,bit of everything,,not really a meat eater myself,,this is the ideal food for me,plus no washing up,,yipee

What is that,a do it yourself menu?

It depends on the fish.

I grew up eating meat at most every meal. There was always some sort of meat.
I never ate breakfast on school days but weekends was almost always eggs and
bacon or eggs and sausage. I don't think we ever had a formal lunch time. If I
got hungry before supper, it always varied, a sandwich or something else. Supper
was always some sort of meat, chicken or roast or minute steak or ham, etc.

As a kid, I grew up not thinking about what I ate.

My grandmother told a story a few times that did stick in my head and still does.
As a child, her family had a cow. It was a long way to school and often she would
ride the cow to school. It wasn't just her, but also her two sisters and a brother.
They all loved the cow and saw the cow as a pet. One day, the cow wasn't there
any more. Their dad had taken it to slaughter. All winter, they ate the cow.

Imagine being hungry, sitting down to eat, and there is your pet on your plate.

Her story didn't really jar me as a kid. She'd tell the story and then smile and we
would laugh.

It wasn't til many years later that story really set into my brain.

Some times you have to do what you have to do to survive. And that is understandable.

In the USA, there is plenty of variety in foods. IF you are in the USA, think what you are
contributing to by eating meat, especially RED meat. Watch the documentary some time
'Cow Nation', I think it is called. You don't have to eat meat, especially red meat. It's a
habit. Perhaps like me, a habit you grew up with, not even thinking about it. Well now
you can think about it. You'll feel better. You'll look better. You may even live longer.
You'll save a piece of the environment.

I guess the documentary you're talking is Cowconspiracy.

I think she probably means Dinosaurs Vs Cows.

when i see animals being treated cruelly throughout the world,whether its part of our diet or not,i cannot further add salt to injury by seeing it on the table.
like valerie said,it was a lifelong habit,dinner wouldn't be complete without some kind of a meaty dish,but now we are able to think and decide what we want to eat,there is so much out there to choose from and so much better for you..i can say i am almost a vegetarian,,now and again i just have to have a roast when i travel back to the UK....
my diet is normally consists of vegetables,pulses ,salads and fruits........bread,roti,pasta,rice and potatoes.
eggs,cheese,yogurt...apple pie and custard

Yes, that is the one I THINK I was referring to.

There is also Food Inc.

It is pretty sad when you can buy a hamburger sandwich for less than you can buy a tomato.

Seriously.

I just went to the Walmart for groceries a couple of days ago. Here is some prices on my tickets:

Eggs 18 count $1.14 (this is a very good price but earlier in the summer they were as low as $0.68 and come winter, they will probably go up above $3.00.

Tomato (I bought two) and they were $1.16 pound and my total for 2 was $2.30.

Onions I bought 1 large yellow onion and they were $1.00 per pound. My cost was $0.98.

Sweet Potato They were large so I bought ONE sweet potato. It was $1.99 pound and my cost was $1.75.

My point is, you can go to McDonalds or probably Wendy's and get a hamburger for a dollar or not much more than a dollar. BUT you can't go to the grocery and buy one friggin sweet potato for that amount.

And it is this type of pricing and mentality that has made half the people in America OBESE.

So you folks in other counties that don't eat like fat pigs, please do give a little sentiment to fat people
in America. A lot of it really is based on the FOOD industry. Not all but a lot.

In reality, people do not need a lot of food to be healthy and alive. If you don't have food or water,
you'll die of thirst long before you die of starvation.

A good idea for those wanting to change their eating habits and cut out the meat, is keep a notebook
handy. Write down the healthy foods you like. Every time you eat a tasty casserole or whatever it
may be, that does not have meat in it and is basically healthy for you, write it down. It won't take
you long to fill your notebook with lots of great tasty foods, meals, etc. You'll find out very quickly
that you won't really miss eating all that meat. And as I stated, if you want to start some where,
start by cutting out the RED meat. Eat birds and fish if you're wanting something fleshy.

well spoken and written valerie i couldn't agree with you more!

fast food,typically the hamburger does cost as low as 99p in the UK and here in Pakistan too,when a burger is that cheap to purchase and to consume why go to the friggin shops to buy something to cook? in fact it will cost you so much more to buy all those ingredients separately and make your own burger.

when food is available so cheaply to eat why bother thinking whats good for your health and what isn't?
nowadays more focus is on something quick,cheap and tasty that you can have on the go,anywhere and anytime.

Today's fast lifestyle means fastfood,fast music,fast cars,in fact fast anything...
gone are those days when you had to forage for your food in the jungle and eat what was available,,no mcdonald's menu there!
