There's a thread about vegetarianism, but no one ever talks about the meat industry.  Isn't it the most revolting thing you've ever heard of???  All vegetarians:  Do you eat eggs, milk, fish, or seafood?  Sea animals, actually.  
Anyone...?

My mom is a member of, ummm, what's that group called?!??! (In case you don't know, I have a very bad memory for names...) But anyway, I get to see all those AWFUL pictures of piggies in enclosures that are so small that they can't even move, etc.  I eat dairy and some seafood.  NOT SEA ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite meats are: bacon, sausage, chicken, and veal. They're so good!!!! I see no point in me being a vegan or vegetarian since I don't want my diet to take over my life and because God gave us the animals, so why not eat them?

What seafood do you eat?

Well, I live in Maine, so it's just not possible to live here and not eat seafood, but I mostly only eat clam chowder. Buuut, lately, when I've been eating it, I get really sick (such as, the last time, I only had a few bites, but I had a wicked bad stomach ache for the rest of the day). :P

I eat fish, eggs, and milk, so I'm not a vegan. I'm seriosly debating whether or not to give up fish, because it has such a bad effect on the ocean. I just love the taste of fish too much. I love tofu!! I know it sounds nasty, but has anyone else had a silken tofu shake?

Umm... Not a shake, but sometimes we make cakes out of it. :):)  And you really should give up fish.  I'm supporting you!! :):)  When I first became vegan, I missed a lot of things, but now I don't even miss them a little bit!  I don't mean to offend, but meat even seems gross! :):)

:D:D:D:D:D: This is the first (and only) time I'll ever say it, but LOL!!!!!:D:D:D:D  My brother (Mr. Meat) decided to, hee, hee, be a, snort, gasp, VEGAN until the end of the year!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D He must have met a girl or SOMETHING.  I'll guess he'll stay on it for, ooooh, hey Dad, how much longer 'till dinner?  I'll give him ten minutes.  (My dad is cooking chicken for himself, and tofu for us veggies.)  Let's see if he can do it!! :D:D:D

I've finally gotten over being in hysterics. :D:D:D:D  He ate the chicken at dinner, and decided that he's a vegan, starting today.  Now, I admire him.  If Mr. Meat can do it, then I can, too.  Sooo, I'm trying to be a vegan. :):):) For breakfast, I had Cocoa Crispies with soy milk.  I'm going to be very hungry until Thursday.  Hopefully we have some veggie black bean burgers that I can eat for lunch...  Oooh, I'm hungry!!!! :D:D:D:D

Sorry to all you guys, but I like meat, and I hate seafood! Once I went to Maine and I ordered lobster for dinner (or was it lunch?) and they set it in front of me, and I had a vision of me turning red, like a lobster. (I was like 3, 4, or 5 years old!) So my mom ate the lobster for me. Now I hate seafood!
