Poll: GC Vegetarians
 

How long have you been a vegetarian?
What made you decide to become one?

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm fasting from meat for 30 days. This is day number 15 and it's been challenging! The fast is for spiritual growth and other personal things that I want to Lord to work out for me. If anyone is vegetarian, KUDOS to them! There are a lot of alternatives, but there's nothing like meat! :D

I have been a vegetarian since about 96'

I got really tired of meat and the thought of it made me sick to my stomach. I eat a whole lot of soy protein. Plus - I have a lower chance of having high cholesterol and getting cancer.

Ive been a vegetarian for 6 months and was one for 2 years b4 I went to college.

The first time i became a vegetarian it was because I gave up meat for lenten and I didn't start back eating it when it was over. But when I went to college all they served was meat and few vegetables, so my only options were salad bar and garden burgers so their I started eating fish and some poultry. Now that I'm out of college I'm back on the vegetarian plan and I feel less sluggish and am losing weight.

I was a vegetarian for six years, now I only eat fish and chicken.

I became vegetarian as a natural method to control my allergies. All of my medicines were anti-histamines and histamine blockers, but whenever I ate meat I just put that animal's histamines back into my body. It really worked.

Now, that I am older and pretty much outgrown my asthma so the symptoms of having allergies are not so dangerous I eat the white meats. I still will have no parts of the cow or the pig.....GROOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS!

Veggie Burger???
 

Bumping this up to the top to ask if anybody out there has tried McDonald's McVeggie Burger? What does it taste like?

I only eat fish and chicken, since 1997.

i've been a vegetarian for 10 years. w/in the last 6 months or so, i've started eating fish again, cause my "diet" is horrible and i wasn't getting enough good fat in me.

i didn't become a veggie for any particular reason, just wanted to try something new and see how long i could do it. as it stands, i'm still doing it.
