Road Runner Posted May 22, 2022 Share #14 Posted May 22, 2022 I eat very little meat these days, but I do rely on dairy quite a bit. I try to eat a healthy diet (within reason), but hard and fast rules about what I can and cannot eat doesn't appeal to me.

shootingstar Posted May 22, 2022 Share #16 Posted May 22, 2022 I have milk, yogurt daily which I would miss. And some noodles are made from egg, not all. So I probably could only last a wk. I need yogurt for my system...this I discovered when I've gone vacationing overseas in Europe and Asia. I actually only eat meat, small amount each time, about 3-4 times/month. Eating meat daily is now more harder on my system. I learned that again, when travelling overseas and all the dishes (I knew I wouldn 't get in North America) I ate with meat. I would have to switch to Buddhist vegan style to make it remotely palatable and easiest on my body, for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted May 22, 2022 Share #17 Posted May 22, 2022 With world population exploding and all the probable shortages looming ahead, our future diets will likely be heavily dependent on processed foods, such as soylent green. I'm pretty sure soylent green is an animal-based product. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted May 22, 2022 Share #19 Posted May 22, 2022 I would survive but not be happy. I enjoy cooking and trying new foods and I would miss that aspect of my life. I have had several very tasty vegan dishes, and my favorite chili can be vegan without topping it with cheese, but I would miss the joy of food 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted May 22, 2022 Share #24 Posted May 22, 2022 I've been on a strict vegetarian diet for about two weeks now, and it's turned me into a whole new person!

I haven't eaten any red meat in years. I do eat a significant amount of chicken. Plus dairy. I have osteopenia (weak bones) and I need to make sure I get enough calcium in my diet. Each day, I religiously track my calcium, protein and fiber. I've always been a big proponent of fiber. At least 30 grams per day. And now I have to make sure I take in 1200 mg of calcium per day. Not easy on a strict vegan diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted May 22, 2022 Share #30 Posted May 22, 2022 I made it 3 months. Vegetarianism is far easier and seems like a far better compromise than extreme vegan diet. The extra year or two you MAY gain in your life doesn’t warrant that existence. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted May 22, 2022 Share #34 Posted May 22, 2022 Me eating alot less meat, is just sheer laziness and the cost of the meat. Starting almost over 15 yrs. ag o, I also naturally wandered alot away from meat when dearie severely cut down on his meat intake. I just can't be bothered buying and cutting up more meat to put into freezer because now it's just me. I do buy very lean beef (and when dearie was alive, he did prep. bison few times/yr.) but only eat fistful size per meal. And other times, seafood. That's it....not even chicken or pork. Will order a nice looking dish at restaurants, but I've lost alot interest in prepping those meats at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bunch of numbers Posted May 22, 2022 Share #36 Posted May 22, 2022 When the world takes to cannibalism, those who are vegan will be the healthy choice. Grass fed, free range and all. So, probably wouldn't last long as a vegan. I read that somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd miss cheese. I don't have eggs or milk in the house but I'd miss the convenience of being able to buy baked goods without worrying about them I've taken a couple short trips to a retreat that doesn't allow animal products on site. It took a little work to figure out what food to bring, but it was doable. But I think it would be harder in the "real world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
