I think my vegetarian friend is cracking.

It depends on the type of vegetarian. My friend is a vegetarian for health reasons. I'm a vegetarian because of what I believe.

Do I suffer the occasional meat-crisis? Yes, but it's more than occasional. My body wants the flesh of something that once lived. Fried chicken, lamb chops with mint sauce, cheeseburger, lasagne, chorizo, seekh kebab, bacon sandwich, roast beef with gravy made from the juices and Yorkshire Puddings made with animal fat, mulligatawny soup, haggis, rump steak, lemon chicken, pepperoni pizza...

What keeps me on the straight and narrow is having certain meals that give me the same feeling as eating meat but which have no meat in them. I have four or five of those. And then there is always meat substitute. Quorn is great, as is soy mince. They're so close to chicken and to beef mince (if cooked right) that I honestly believe there's little reason for anyone to eat meat these days (apart from for health).

I've had two incarnations of my vegetarianism and I can see why she's cracking.

In my first incarnation, I had no health problems that I was aware of and I did it mainly for "animal rights". I got allot of bullshit from not only my peers at the time, but also grown ass adults. The stereotypical questions were a pain in the ass and my family was constantly flipping out at me over it. It was like I had become some form of oddity in a land of meat eaters. People were constantly wanting to know why I chose to become a vegetarian, how I got protein or proper nutrients,etc. Ugh! I only stopped because my mother thought I was bruising as a result, which I wasn't.

My second and current incarnation was caused by a number of bizarre allergic reactions to food. I realized that I can't have any meat. I nearly went to the ER from Tilapia and I had a curious reaction to shrimp. Then, I started having allergic reactions to land meat. At first I thought it was only poultry, but then the intolerance "spread" to other meats. I eventually stopped eating meat all together. At some point, I thought that my reactions were caused by what the meat was being fed (grains/GMOs). A few weeks ago, I went to my store and bought organic grass-fed ground beef. Low and behold! I got my hopes up for absolutely nothing and ended up getting a allergic reaction that could've spread had I not taken a anti-histamine! I've been criticized by my family for my diet, but they've recently have been letting up a bit. I haven't had troubles with other people, because no one knows that I'm a vegetarian. I don't tell them and thankfully I haven't been in a situation where I'd have to explain it. Can you imagine the funny looks I'd get if I told them about GMO's and being allergic to land and sea meats?

My point is that it can be very stressful to be a vegetarian. If you want to help her, be as kind and supportive as you possibly can. Don't criticize her as it'll only make it worse. Find her a vegetarian support group. Read more on the subject. There's many companies that have vegan meat substitutes like Quorn and Gardien, but the thing about Gardien is that they use canola oil which is extremely unhealthy. I can't remember what Quorn uses but they do use mushrooms. A recipe book could also be very beneficial to her,etc.

Good Luck!

Buy a chicken as a pet, accidentally kill it and say "don't let her death be in vain, it's what she would have wanted"

I can see why she is cracking. I respect vegetarians, and hope they can all stay meat free. however I could not stand that lifestyle myself. I am an avid hunter and fisher, and have meat with almost every single meal I eat. There is something so satisfying about enjoying a meal with your family that you provided with your patience and hard word. Deer is also much healthier than beef, and in my opinion, has a better taste!

As a kid I was meat crazy, like all of my meals contained meat, and then I'd eat meat as a snack on top of that! I was a little meat fiend!

I've been a veggie for 9 years now, and as far as I'm aware I haven't ate anything meat related, although it's extremely likely that I've ate something made with an animal without knowing.

Anyway, despite being a meat addict as a kid, I'm genuinely not even tempted to eat meat. Infact, I'm so disinterested that I think there's something wrong with me. Of course bacon smells nice, but the only temptation is the memory of meat itself as opposed to any craving to chow on a drumstick etc.

The only thing I miss are spare ribs, god I used to go crazy for those!

just fuck her. like eat her pussy then make her eat your pussy and be like how do you like that meat beatch. then kiss alot to taste the sweet pussy juices.

First off its really rude that people are heckling her about being vegetarian. Your friend has a right to not eat meat as they have right to. Also thinking that it had different culture that is kind of odd.

Did they have Indian food? Since I know for a fact they tend to avoid most meat in the Indian diet. I myself could probobly never become vegetarian. It takes some serious commitment to just suddenly cut out meat out of your diet. I am not sure what to do about your friend but just be supportive.

A lot of vegetarians do quit being vegetarian since they can not take it. However like I said Indian diet does not have a lot of meat in it so if you have not looked into that try it. In fact in the McDonald they don't even have real meat for a lot of the patties. The patties is a bunch of vegetables mashed together and fried in a veggie patties. I have eaten veggie patties before and they actually taste really good.

She's a vegetarian because she is an animal lover. Thanks!
