Just started it oh though its not an easy journey. But i've seen even a medical doctor who is a vegetarian for over 30 years and he told me that been a vegetarian is beneficial to our health and spirit.

DeCleff:
Yes i am

DeCleff:
So vegetarians are bloody? Ignorance they say is more deadly than ebola. When God created man, did He instructed man to feed on animals or herbs? Genesis 1:29-30 God made herbs to be meat/food for both man and animals. So u can as well call God a bloody vegetarian.

EnlightenedSoul:
@ Propti1 How do you feel about consuming sea-life? I'll respond to your other post l8r, thanks.

EnlightenedSoul:
That's a discussion right there.

I have witnessed slaughter before, and I am aware of these arguments and can agree with them to a certain extent, but biologically humans remain omnivorous. At the very least, I feel a lot can be improved in the way animals are treated in factory farms etc, but then again, people barely have enough regard for their fellow human being.

Have you not seen large pack mules and horses bend at the knees for the sheer amount of weight on their backs, whipped when they stop or stumble? No respect or sense of decency towards other living things, and no common sense either. They don't know that even if you'll just end up eating or selling that cow, it's taste and quality largely depends upon the animal's quality of life and the way it was treated.

EnlightenedSoul:
Not necessarily. But I do credit it with a higher sense of well-being.

I myself have my reasons for abstaining from red meat, but I hardly believe myself any more 'right-thinking' than the carnivores that surround me lol. I do feel better off w/o it, but neither do I miss it. Veganism, on the other hand, would kill me.

EnlightenedSoul:
Scenario: I make a veggie pasta with ribs.

- the average omnivore would be sated.
- the vegetarians/pescetarians would simply drop the ribs, and be content.
- a true carnivore may be annoyed with the presence of 'all those unnecessary vegetables', but he'll def be happy to go triple on the ribs the formers left behind.
- the vegan will have a problem with the entire meal!

Something similar to this has happened to me before, but it was due more so to a dietary restriction than a chosen lifestyle. I've never cooked for the vegans I know. As far I'm aware, they're content with their nuts and berries, and I wouldn't know where to start anyway

The nice thing about vegans - they know how to take care of themselves. They're completely self-sufficient in their kitchens. They have to be.

EnlightenedSoul:
Yh, I don't buy that. I hardly think dietary choices alone are the key to enlightenment.

I don't have any fears. I only hope that I'm not eating or drinking the moment he reveals himself a vegan. I wont be able to help the LOL that surfaces.

EnlightenedSoul:
I already know what it's like to prepare two separate meals, but come on, vegans are on a whole other level!

AfricanApple:
not even for anything in heaven, love is not blind at all. if u like eat once in a week, its a no no for moi.
I can't imagine myself married and always eating alone even when hubby is around. besides, cooking pot will splits into two, no time for such stress

AfricanApple:
who has time for double cooking. no ooo, that one is big time wahala, go and look for vegetarian like yourself

lalola:
if he can't take it then it's best he finds the vegan and leave me but if we are married, that one won't work

lalola:

EnlightenedSoul:
I wouldn't mind it if he was vegan at all, but I don't see that happening. Heck, even I can't pull that off!

lalola:
he is on his own it's nt easy cook two separate dishes. I will eat if it's yummy

EnlightenedSoul:
I'm in awe of vegans.
