Vegetarianism/veganism.

SMILE:

this might be a silly question, i don't know but if someone is a vegetarian or a vegan, if they have animals then what do they feed them because don't they need meet to be healthy?

It depends. I'm a vegetarian, and I feed my dogs proper dog food [meat etc.] because I believe that they should not follow my diet.

But there are some vegetarians / vegans that I've heard of that make their pets vegan / vego as well, but I personally wouldn't do that.

Dogs are carnivores.
If they were in the wild, they'd eat meat.

It's to keep them healthy.

So you should feed it meat.

I think veganism and vegetarianism are both very good ideas and I'd like to try it someday. I'm just afraid to commit to it and then not be able to do it =\

Well it's not like you'd have to stick to it for the rest of your life, and it's not a crime if you slip. It's your own decision, you make up the rules and you decide what you eat and what you don't. I think you shouldn't be worried about not being able to do it. If you want to, give it a go. Not everyone can follow a strict vegetarian/vegan diet, and I find it very wrong that people are being incriminated because they choose to eat meat. At the end of the day, it's everyone's own choice.

i've just recently became a vegan.
animal abuse and that crap makes me sick to my stomach.
it's not only that i don't want to eat red meat,
but when i think of what they do to the animals i just can't.
i would become a complete vegetarian, but
chicken and fish are a good source of potien,
and i could never give up sushi. aha
i'm allergic to beed anywayss.....

^^ Chicken is a good source of protein but there are others ways to get it. like beans or tofu.

You said that you've "just become a vegan", but yet you still eat fish and chicken? Am I reading that right? Because if that's the case, you're not a vegan at all. Or a vegetarian for that matter.

Vegans don't eat any animal products whatsoever, including meat, dairy, eggs and honey, as well as animal fats.

They also don't wear leather, or any other animal skin etc. Some even don't wear wool [but not all].

Just thought I should clear that up...

sorry I meant vegetarian.
my mistake sorry.
i'm just getting into it and i got messed up.
but don't vegetarians still eat fish and chicken?
my sister was a vegetarian for several years and she said
that she still ate fish and chicken.

let me know,
i keep trying to research it but my google hasn't been coming up.
it'd be alot of help if you could give me a site.

Nope. There are people who call themselves vegetarians when they eat fish and chicken but it's just improper use of the word. Pescetarians eat fish and no other animals. I think there's a word for people who eat chicken and fish but no other animals but I'm not sure what it is. Vegetarians don't eat any meat, poultry or fish.

edit: it's "semi-vegetarian"

thanks for the site PlushToy.
and for the information Billy.

i'll be sure not make the same mistake next time.

I am totally against the whole animal cruelty thing but I don't think I have the will power to go vegatarien. I do not eat at KFC anymore though. I just like meat and still living at home doesn't give me much of a choice on what I eat. Maybe once I hit college I'll try again.

I could definately could never be vegan cause I like eggs and milk way to much. I love my milk

^^ I am not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination, but I did go through a period where my doctor asked me to give up dairy (he thought it was causing my migraines) so I gave up all milk, cheese, all dairy altogether and drank only soymilk and ate only soy cheese. Now I am back to regular cheese (thank goodness, that rubbery soy cheese didn't make me happy) but I only drink soymilk. I find that the Silk Very Vanilla is a great start to the day, and makes a great before-bedtime treat. Give it a try!

im a vegetarian. im against animal crulety.and i just dont think i could eat something that has a face.or something that suffered. im also a member of PETA.

I once thought about turning into a vegetarian (I had just seen a gross dogument about how they slaughtered cows ) but then I felt like a hypocrite (because I felt bad for what they did that to the animals but then I would have also started to pay attention to all the clothes that I wear etc.etc.) and so it faded away after a while. I think both meat-eating and vegetable-eating is ok and acceptable.
