Do not make this a debate on meat eating. You don't need to prove people "wrong" about their eating habits.

Use this thread to share recipes, health advice (supplements etc), or any questions about if you're interested in becoming vegetarian/vegan.

I've been vegetarian for a year and teched up to vegan about 3 months ago. i'm aware my id isn't vegan I've found turning vegan easy, being an avid cook and generally healthy person.

Recipes

Frogurt's vegan pumpkin soup
+ Show Spoiler +

Spices: Salt, pepper, coriander, Chilli flakes(optional)

1.Slice onions and roughly cut garlic cloves, add to large pot on high heat with olive oil (cook until slight browning)
2. Flesh pumpkin and cut potato into cubes
3. Add Pumpkin, Potato, Spices and Vegie stock (enough to submerge ingredients) to pot, medium heat until potatoes are soft
4. Ladel ingredients into blender (Try not to get too much stock in the blender or soup will be watery, you should have some left over in the pot)
5. Bend until creamy while adding milk, usually takes 2 loads of blending
6. Serve in large bowl, sprinkle coriander and drop of milk in the centre because it looks cool.

Serthius' Home made Veggie Broth
+ Show Spoiler +
Vegetable broth

3 onions
3 stalks celery
salt & pepper
some herbs (thyme, basil, parsley, whatever)
1 bay leaf

Crush the garlic cloves with the side of your knife, and roughly chop the vegetables. Add all ingredients except the wine to a large pot. Cover with water (I usually add a little more here). Bring everything to a boil and simmer for an hour. Remove from heat and add the wine. Let it cool for a while. If you have time you can leave it overnight. Then pour everything through a strainer and divide into smaller portions for freezing. Done!

Do you enjoy it? I always wonder about what my kids will eat, if i have them. I would like them to be vegetarian/vegan but i'd rather let them decide for themselves, also issues of malnutrition related to growth.

I've been vegan for what, almost 4 years or so? I took the change straight from omnivore. It really wasn't that hard. I don't regret it, and I like the way it makes me feel. Not just consciously, but physically too.
I'll post some recipes later, and you should add any recipes posted to the op for easy access.

And I really hope this thread doesn't turn into a shitstorm like all the others. Just remember, not everyone wants to criticize your decisions on what you eat. So please, I hope that no one (both omnivores and herbivores) starts any arguing here. Thanks

Oh, and this
SO FUCKING AMAZING

My current living quarters include two veggies, means nearly only vegetarian food on the menu.
I eat like a madman compared to thoose two and I'am still nearly always hungry. I've lost weight, musclemass and energy levels are bad, and this is with supposedly nutrient veggie food. =(
Basicly, my body seems to spit all veggie food straight through. I feel so nice when I manage to get some potatoes and bacon done in a veil of secrecy
Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

I am vegetarian, not vegan. My family is too vegetarian. I am ok with this lifestyle really. Some of my friends do tease me sometimes but it doesn't really bother me. I mean, I do eat eggs (I know fish by some people is classified as vegetarian although I don't eat fish, is egg too?) but not in physical shape. Only in cakes, chocolates, confectioneries etc.
For my kids, I will probably tell them to be vegetarian but I won't assert the decision by myself, I will let them choose, only at a suitable age though, not 12 or less lol.

I am not a vegetarian, I used to eat like 70% vegetarian food at one time and what really turned me of is the tastelessness of anything that isn't made "a la minute" (sp?). I really feel that vegetarian pre made food and substitutes are really poorly made.

I work as chef and honestly vegetarian food can be good but it takes a lot of effort (and love) to make it not taste like a watered down meat dishes; especially soup with vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. You really need to spice vegetarian dishes a lot more than meat dishes to get a satisfying result.

I hope this thread can be mature, but I think a lot of people are gonna come to make fun of your crazy green eating ways. That's alright.

I've been thinking about quitting meat. I could use a little bit of weight loss (I'm 6'3 225lb. right now :< ) and I've made friends around campus with some animal rights activists that have kinda shifted my perspective on things a bit. I'd be interested to hear the stories of any vegans/vegetarians here who gave up eating meat and how you did it? How did life change for you after you quit meat?

I am not a vegetarian but I don't really eat meat. I just don't like meat that much. I don't like the taste or texture of most meats, although I do enjoy a hamburger or hotdog here and there. I would like to become a vegetarian because i really love animals but there are just some foods that I don't want to give up . I also eat fish but I heard that doesn't count or something.

I agree. A lot of substitutes taste like shit. But after shopping around a while and trying different ones, some decent ones can be found. I guess it's really about time and effort of finding good substitutes and not cooking it half assed.
Because let's just say when I first became vegan, a lot of the food I made was... lol.

Im not a veggie per se, there's really nothing I won't eat.....but there's no reason that you need to eat meat everyday, try avoiding meat 1-2 days a week. You'll feel better, and also when you do eat meat, it will feel sorta like a treat.

Eggs are vegetarian, fish is not

"Vegetarians" annoy me, if you eat fish you aren't vegetarian, you just dont like red meat. But i guess it's better than nothing.

I've also heard of people who eat a steak a month to keep their iron levels up. Thats more steak than most people eat >:O and can easily be remedied with iron pills or mushrooms, olives, pseudo-meats etc.

I'm not a vegetarian, but my girlfriend (with whom I live) is. Gonna agree that pre-prepared vegetarian food is generally pretty meh (even she won't touch a boca burger with a 10 foot pole, for example.) but you can do some really amazing things with fresh produce and some time to cook. I've added a lot of vegetarian recipes to my list of things I can cook (Spinach Lasagna, a bunch of awesome things involving zucchini and broccoli, etc.)

Someone who doesn't eat land animals or birds but eats fish, crustaceans and such is called a pescetarian. My sister was on/off vegetarian/pescetarian/omnivore for the longest time because she wanted to lose weight.

Pre-Made food is convienient, but if i have the time i usually cook vegetables which taste better and are probably cheaper and healthier.

I've always found it weird that eggs are considered vegetarian. In my mind, it's nearly the same thing as meat.

Well I don't eat fish either way. Some people on the net say fish is vegetarian and some say not but I get confused. Personally, I don't find it vegetarian because its an animal but was just asking how it was perceived in the scientific world.
For food, my parents just make mostly Indian food, which is vegetarian and on saturdays and sundays we usually have western food (which is vegetarian obv)
