And it was good.

Thus ends 24 months of my vegetarian lifestyle.

Welcome back to the world of carnivours? Are planning to stay or will you return to the Vegan lifestyle??

Better that you ate it, than it ate you.

If you don't mind asking, did you have tummy aches afterwards? from people I've talked with, after fasting or going vegetarian for a long time, they have a bit of difficulty digesting meat and/or greasy food.

What made you change your mind and change your diet?

Im asking this because my ex girlfriend is a vegaterian.

Drac - I was never Vegan, only vegetarian. I still ate milk and cheese and honey and butter and stuff. As for, should I stay or should I go, not quite sure. Because as Mr. H pointed out, while my stomach wasn't actually hurting, it was uneasy later in the evening. But while I was eating, I was perfectly fine.

As for what changed my mind... I wanted a bacon cheeseburger.

It also might interest some of you that I could NOT find information on the healthy way to STOP being a vegetarian. There is TONS of it out there on how to BECOME one, but not how to phase out of it.

Odd.

EDIT: to bobby - because it wouldnt have been killed if there wasnt a demand to eat it.

Welcome aboard!

There are many advantages to eating meat, and when it comes to getting easy-to-use iron, nothing beats red meat. I honestly tried a vegetarian diet for a two month period, and felt anemic.

It's all good, in moderation. One step at a time, one day at a time.

Some people do it for that reason (I just can't kill that cute fuzzy animal!), some for religious reasons, some for health reasons (lose weight, lower cholesterol, etc). Some for all or some of the above combined.

One bad joke a vet friend of mine says... PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals

hehe

Your body hasn't processed meat in a while, which is why you felt a bit uneasy. At least you didn't get sick, like some other vegetarians who went back to eating meat. If I were you, I'd still watch my intake of beef for a while, since it is harder to digest. Definitely hold off on the filet mignon. ;)

Well there are too schools, vegetarian and vegan. I have a vegan friend that gave me a DVD of how food processing plants slaughter and treat the animals. Pretty disturbing - But the next day I polished off 30 buffalo wings. :) It is not so much the killing of the animal, it is the way they are killed.

Sometimes he can drive me nuts. He will not drink wine because most wines are filtered through animal skins and stomach linings. Once again, the next day I had bottle of wine. :)

When it come down to it, how do we know tomatoes are not screaming when we slice them up?
