groupw Posted June 23, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2018 So cut down, then. Didn’t know we had to label ourselves based on percentage of animal protein intake! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domesticated turkeys are almost vegetables so I think that counts as cheater vegetarianism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted June 23, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 23, 2018 Use meat as a condiment, instead of basing the meal around the meat make the meat a side dish, or if making pasta or noodle dishes, cut back on the meat and add some veggies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much me. We don't label it and don't make a big deal about it but we have a vegetarian meal at least 2X a week. I had some left over tofu and actually made tacos for dinner. Taco seasoning, Cholula, fresh guacamole, tomato & cheese on lettuce wraps. Bust on tofu all you want but they were pretty freaking tasty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 24, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 24, 2018 We had three foster kids who their biological dad said were vegetarians. My wife always cooked vegetarian meals for them. The kids ate them but they told us they never had stuff like that at home. We asked them what they ate. They said a lot of maccaroni and peanut butter and junk food. They said when they were out with their mom she bought them McDonalds burgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soy protein is good for those who tolerate it, hell for those who don't. I am the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a lot of meals with various beans, squash & veggies as well as tofu. With your travel it can get tough but there are a lot of meal options out there. I like meat and will continue to eat it, I just eat less of it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted June 24, 2018 Share #11 Posted June 24, 2018 If you don't want to be a cheater, you could be an omnivore who doesn't eat much meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 24, 2018 Share #13 Posted June 24, 2018 I have decided that I just don’t care what I eat anymore. I am going to eat anything free or cheap, as the gods demand. I ate good vegan food all last weekend, though. My niece is one, you know. My brother called me up and said he PayPalled me $100 because the niece must eat ridiculously expensive vegan food because she is nuts from being a vegan. I thanked him profusely for the gesture and stressed less about the money spent feeding her. Anyway, you can have good vegan food as long as you can afford it. Sure is a lot of wheat in vegan food, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted June 24, 2018 Share #14 Posted June 24, 2018 I've cut back a little on meat. Today, for example, we are having lobster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar is incredibly addictive. I really don't miss it that much when I forego it, but once I start eating it, stand back! Sort of the same principle as chips or alcohol - if you are an addict, you have to just say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
