Vegetarian or Vegan? Religious or health reason?

Raw meat makes me nauseous to see... good luck to you.

Yes, I'm expecting to have to claim diplomatic immunity when it comes to such items. Hard to believe I used to work in a supermarket (many moons ago) and it included working on the fish section - including filleting.

How'd you manage that?

I was not a veggie at that time (a mere 22 years old). The fish scales had not yet fallen from my eyes.

Seeing new vegetarians, that seems to be one of the biggest problems for them when they're 'transitioning'.

I am not at all a fan of meat substitutes (beyond impossible sietan wotever). I see them more as a hindering crutch than training wheels.

And do chuckle at the dorito vegetarians...

At burning man...assigned to kitchen duty..."hey wil, will you cook up 22 pounds of bacon? "

For years I refused to cook meat...it was byob and cook your own beef at my house.

I sanctimoniously refused to partake in their early departure from our planet....now I developed a live and let whatever attitude (with food and religions)

I don't mind the meat substitutes, and do use them in cooking, but I'm not dependent on them. I toss them in here and there, but its by no means a daily deal.

What's a Dorito vegetarian?

One of my most favorite people in the world is a Hindu and strict vegan. Being from India she brings me food from her culture ❤️

Sad story. We had a potluck where we had to bring a dish from our culture being either ethnic or family culture. Someone brought a crockpot full of chitterlings and it sat right in front her all day cooking. I felt so bad for her and she just looked ill all day. Being the kind sweet gentle person she is.. not one word of complaint came from her. I even suggested it be moved and she just said no and that she was ok. I love her so much and I've never met a more humble person than her.

It smelled like the part it comes from.. see why it's so sad?

Even more sad is why it became part of African American culture. It was the part of pig that slave owners threw out as garbage.

I want to keep breathing for as long as I am able (allergies suck Fsewr water iykwim.) It's like if a person is deathly allergic to peanuts had a couple of plain chocolate lentils, not realizing that they contain ground peanuts, triggering an allergic reaction.
