We have here people all around the world from different backgrounds, believes, cultures. My questions to you are:
- Are you vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater, fish-eater, raw food eater, fast food eater, etc?
- Why do you eat the way you do?
- What is your opinion about veganism?
- What was your last meal?
I would describe my current eating habits as animal product reduced. Meaning: I eat meat and other animal products, but much less than most people in my culture. A usual meat-eater person here has some animal ingredients for every meal in the day, and meat at least once a day, often twice. I eat meat or fish once a week, most of my meals (including main meals) are vegan. I think it is bad for our health to eat too much meat. The huge amount of live stock that we have also makes it impossible to treat the animals well, and is bad for the environment; so I also reduce milk, eggs and other animal products. I actually put milk into coffee if it is bad coffee (the usual old beans or powder you can buy in supermarkets). I haven't found a good alternative yet (except for drinking only good coffee, which I prefer black).
Since I saw the movie Earthlings I am actually considering to become vegan, but I am not quite sure yet.
About fast food: I only make it sometimes, when I am alone and have stress for some reason. My son does not get any, and I always cook meals if he is around.
My last meal: African vegetable stew with peanuts, peanut butter, green beans, potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, onions.
This is what it looks like:

I basically eat everything. I like meat and fish, but limit the consumption of said products to maintain my health. Thus, my diet mostly consists of vegetables etc. To sum it up, I follow what is considered a balanced diet.[size=xx-small ! important]1[/size]
Personally, I dislike the idea of veganism, but that's just personal preference, I wouldn't be able to live like that. Same goes for the other options you mentioned. But as long as someone keeps his beliefs to himself, I don't care what he/she eats.
As for why I've chosen this kind of living: It's healthy, it tastes good, I can afford it. Following your ideas, I am not a real meat-eater, but I still consume a significant amount of animal products, mostly eggs and milk-ish stuff.
-
- I too, eat nearly everything.
- I don't really see any way of explaining that
- I'm unable to see any point in abstaining from eating animal products. One should eat them. Just not, say, three steaks a day.
- Egg fried rice
-
Yes, I saw the movie Earthlings as well, but couldn't force myself to watch more than 1/3rd of that - it was too gruesome for me :-/ however it doesn't stop me from eating meat. If you don't do it, there's plenty that will and the meat economy will not be crippled because of you alone.
About eating - well, I eat anything. I am not picky about food or its taste. If it's not rotten, raw or otherwise bad to eat, then I would eat it... IMO if you can't do that, you can't survive in the wild or woods. Try being vegan in the army lol. I'd like to see how vegetarians would live in the woods for weeks...
-
I believe in a varied diet. I will eat w/e I can if money is tight, otherwise I eat steak dinners/sit down most of the time. I will eat pretty much everything (Fruits, Veggies, Nuts, Meat, Fish, processed..) and I don't have any qualms with vegans and their lifestyles. They could eat shit for all I care but in the end free will prevails.
I would like to try a fruit, veggie, nuts & grains regiment for awhile and see how my body adapts. The goal would be to grow as much of it as possible and use seeds that don't have Monsanto's genetic attributes.
Side note:
You don't have to cook all your food. When cooked, the amount of nutrients in the food decrease through the application of heat. This depends on the chemical structure, as some nutrients are more affected than others. Certain nutrients will break down easily under heat while others endure the process.
I'm not saying you should never cook your food, but there are many that can be eaten raw.
-
I don't have a specific type of food, I basically eat whatever I find delicious. But between meat,chicken and fish, I always prefer chicken.

I didn't mean to say that I cook everything I eat, but that I prefer to prepare meals by myself instead of buying fast food.
I usually have 3 to 4 meals a day, of which one of the meals is cooked.

At one point I stopped looking at it and just listened to the narrator. I couldn't sleep well for a few nights, but that was expected. It happens with other stuff too, sometimes even the news in the radio can trigger sleepless nights.
If you don't do it, there's plenty that will and the meat economy will not be crippled because of you alone.
Does that mean you also don't vote for elections?
-
I eat basically everything. I don't actively pay attention to what I eat but I try to have everything in moderation. I limit my fast food intake to once a month but I probably eat it more like once every 3 months. I don't drink coffee and try to limit my caffeine intake.
I think that veganism is somewhat risky as far as eating balanced and true hardcore vegans really have to pay attention to what they eat. If you do it right than being a vegan is extremely healthy. I would never be able to be a vegan- I have to much Italian in me.
My last meal was pizza.
-
You guys are so friggin' healthy compared to me. I run on coffee, tea, noodles and the occasional sea food meal. And chocolate. And the chips I steal from my best friend. My mom isn't into fast food, therefore, I am not. I'm on Geoff with the whole 'one meal a day' thing.
I don't think little kids (or people who are still growing, at least) should be 100% vegans - they might not get some of the nutrients they need and they'll end up slightly shorter than the rest of their peers. But on the flip side, being a flat-out carnivore is not the best idea either. Your digestive tract'll just go to hell. Then again, I'm not really one to talk about what's healthy, but just my opinion on the matter. :|
-
I eat so little, realy don't like it, never did. When I eat something it's mostly from bakery.
About veganism, I think that is important to eat mixed food a little bit of everything, vegetables, meat, juices and so on.
-
<...> Although I have once in my life met someone that refused to eat anything that wasn't once living. but this is rare. <...>
What the hell? what does that person eat then? fuckin' sand and dirt? :D can't eat plants, they are living organisms. Can't eat grain or any of its products, because you know... grain once lived... might as well get a shovel and eat dirt.
-
Oh, then I read that wrong :P
-
I made vegan pancakes today and they turn out to be very delicious.

One thing that I find weird is people thinking that vegan != varied.
Since I started cooking an preparing vegan meals, I realized how much variation there actually is. I eat more varied now than I did before I reduced animal products (even if I do not count the meals containing animal products).
PS: I would love to exchange awesome and easy made recipies. So if you have some, share them.
-
I will argue that an herbivore or carnivore's diet is less varied than an omnivore's. Omnivore by definition implies variance.
-
Being omnivore just tells the capability to digest certain food, it is a biological thing. It does not mean that you actually use that capability.
E,g, human meat-only eaters are no carnivores just because they have the same diet as carnivores.
What I observed: A lot of people who are no vegans or vegetarians have a less varied diet than vegans, because they are not aware of the possibilities or just out of habit. Eating meat and plants does not mean it is varied if you eat the same all the time.

I agree, but I still stand by my original argument. Since an omnivore has the capability to digest a wider spectrum of food this affects a higher potential of variance in a given diet intrinsically. I'm not saying that an herbivore's/carnivore's diet is not varied, only less varied.
-
I try to keep a balanced diet, but lately i've been focusing on eating a lot more than usual, as i'm trying to build muscle after deciding to go to gym. I eat a lot of calorie and protein high foods like milk, eggs, meat, oats etc ... it's been hard but I feel like my stomach is definitely expanding and it gets easier to eat more day by day. I would also agree that an omnivore's diet, is, by definition, more varied.
-
I don't have any diet. There is no structure and I do little to no planning when I should eat.
I wake up and skip breakfast. I regularly buy multipacks of coke and crisps. I either eat them all within the hour or never eat them and leave them scattered across my room, only to then be eaten by others.
The multipacks of coke are either all drank without a single break or are spat all over the street in a pig-like disrespectful manner.
I take random trips to subway (3 trips today) and order a spicy Italian with Jalapeños and spicy sauce. I usually never finish the sub, but it's great because I get unlimited refills of soda.
I go into my local kebab shop. The staff there know I'm "a computer guy" since my brother used to work there. They go "Computer!, Computer!" and point at the computer. I try and fix whatever has messed up (usually unplugged keyboard or credit-card reader not plugged into the router) and they give me literally anything I want on the menu. I usually take the absolute piss and get an entire wrap of Donner meat and 10 hot wings with large chips, along with 2ltr bottle of coke.
On the odd occasion, I surprise my stomach with a banana or apple.

From where i come from being a vegetarian is a sign of weakness or feminism basically i would be laughed at for even thinking of it. I guess culture does influence what you eat....... :-\

I don't know anyone who has a worse diet than me. I have a fear of trying new foods (it's really bad, I once got offered a hundred euros to try something and ended up staring at it for around an hour before finally bailing out) and all I eat is junkfood. This is literally the list of the only foods I eat:
Hotdogs, burgers, pizza, pasta with butter, snacks (God damn do I love snacks)
There are probably a few more but they don't come to mind at the moment. Each day my diet shifts between the foods mentioned above (while eating snacks throughout). Surprisingly (to my friends' discontent), I'm actually quite healthy and in shape. I guess growing up only eating these foods my body didn't know any better.
As far as veganism goes I'm totally cool if you're a vegan and I think in the end you're doing the right thing; just don't preach to me about it. Vegans tend to think they're better than others because of the way they eat so they always bring it up (in my experience).
How do you know if someone's a vegan?
Don't worry they'll fucking tell you
-
I run on coffee, tea, noodles and the occasional sea food meal.
This speaks to me on a spiritual level.
I try to eat 3 meals a day to keep the metabolism boiling, going or however you want to word it. The meals are small though, and usually no more than large snacks compared to most of my friends. I also eat snacks between meals.
Breakfast = 2+ eggs, over hard plus coffee
brunch snack = nuts, fruit, more coffee
lunch = varies but can range from a sandwich to a bowl of noodles to who knows what, as well with either more coffee, water or tea
end of work day/post workout snack = nuts, chicken, lots of protein
dinner = hell if I know until it's there
after dinner munch time = chips, maybe some more nuts
This is slightly average with days here and there where I ignore it and eat only one meal for the whole day. I avoid wheat like the plague cause it makes me sick but usually I love just about any food infront of me. Vegan food looks interesting, I'd be willing to try it if it was made for me but it's not the diet for me.... avoiding wheat is hard enough.
-
I just eat when I can, don't have many opportunity's to eat a lot.
-
My diet is a bit different from most 'normal' peoples'. I suddenly got the urge to cut (only 2,5 months too early) so I'm currently being a bitch about my diet.
Breakfast:
1. Oatmeal
2. Eggs and rye bread (super awesome bread with a shitload of fibers)
Pre-workout:
- Pre-workout shake + fruit.
Note: this is about 1-2 hours after my breakfast, I therefore don't need anything special here.
Post-workout:
- Skyr (super yoghurt from Iceland with a crazy ass content of proteins and really low on fat at the same time), a can of tuna, 10-12 almonds and two slices of rye bread.
Dinner:
- This meal differs a lot. Usually some sort of chicken cooked with rice/noodles and some broccoli.
Besides this I drink a shitload of water and eat almonds during the day, if I feel the urge for candy and such.
-
Eat everything, but eat healthily. As a student, meat is expensive in comparison to veggie foods. Main difference is that i eat dinner at lunch time, and lunch at dinner time.
Todays food log:
Breakfast:
Cornflakes with Soya Milk
Handful of grapes
Banana
"Lunch Time":
Mushroom Stir fry with added peppers, onion and tomato's
Pure Orange Juice
"Dinner Time":
Apple + Some biscuits
Chicken and lettuce Sandwich
Snack on dry (unsalted) crackers and gingernut biscuits
And drink a good bit of water each day.
Every now and then i have another bowl of corn flakes as supper, depending on how i feel. I am in love with cereal.
Apparently the Japanese have the best metabolism's (and i assume from that, best diets)
-
You should try rice milk and coconut milk they are delicious alternatives for normal milk. I haven't drank milk in years and I used to drink it by the crate :P.
About my food it depends, when I'm with friends I eat fast food and fries and stuff. I try to eat the least amount of industrial junk possible though. And I make shure my breakfast is healthy (oatmeal, muesli,.. ) I never drink any soda or eat high sugar products anymore(maybe on a special occasion I will). I used to love it but it's poison man
-
1. I eat most food, although there are quite a number of veggies I tend to stay away from
2. I eat what I want when I want, don't really care about much else
3. It's not for me but if someone wants to be vegan then go ahead, except for when people do it to be a hipster or because their friends are doing it. If personal experience is the deciding factor and your own beliefs and ethics, do what you want.
4. I had Wendy's, Jr. Bacon cheeseburger, value fries and a small frosty.
If you enjoy eating meat then eat it, if you don't then don't. Remember your time in life is limited and no matter how old you are there's always a chance you won't be here tomorrow. So you might as well do what you enjoy, you can be 100% vegan, active and fit, its not going to stop the drunk guy slamming into you head on going 100mph killing you and every passenger in your car and the drunk driver walking away.
That's my opinion anyways

Are you vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater, fish-eater, raw food eater, fast food eater, etc?
I eat anything that doesn't eat me first.
Why do you eat the way you do?
Because I grew up on Potluck and Ramen. I'm not picky, I take what I can get and I eat it until I get full.
What is your opinion about veganism?
How dafuq do you have energy? What about Steak?! Whats wrong with Steak?! TELL ME WTF IS WRONG WITH STEAK?!
What was your last meal?
Some random fish that the cooks thawed out early in the day, which had probably been frozen for atleast 3 months. Super seasoned with salt and other herbs and spices to give it some flavor. Mac-n-cheese that was actually the best part of the meal, it was warm, which was more than I could say for the rest of the meal. White Rice (Almost sticky rice) with no flavor, no soy sauce, and no hot sauce, was completely bland. (Perks of food where I work, lol, also no pics because where I work they won't allow USB Devices to be plugged into the computer)
-
I eat figurative shit, like bacon on everything even vegetables.
-
I'm french ! So I'm gonna have Tartiflette !!!

-
I eat paleo (meat, fish, eggs, veggies, nuts and seeds, a little fruit).
I stay away from grains, beans, processed foods, sugar, dairy (most of the time; a little cheese here and there), industrial oils. Been doing this for a year, and I feel great.

I'm a simple man whenever I see food I eat it.
-
Ive been trying to go vegan since last year...now though Im more vegetarian and animal product reduced as you say...but my goal will always be to be vegan...and that is what i strive for...
i eat this way for the environment and animal rights/welfare and health
my last meal was vegetarian fried spaghetti...veggies, vegan meat crumblys, angel hair, traditional ragu and sour cream...the sauce and sour cream made it vegetarian
-
Try not to let your eating preferences define who you are.
I like home-cooking. Wish my lady would make me sandwiches for lunch so I could save money.
$50 a week for lunch adds up.
I try to treat myself to Manchurian beef once a week. I work my ass off and all the money goes to rent, so I buy myself some Chinese food, it makes me happy; then im hungry 20 minutes later.
Better to have a multi-vitamin and not need it, then to need it and not have it. Also applies to condoms, weapons, faith, etc.
-
Are you vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater, fish-eater, raw food eater, fast food eater, etc?
I have no strict rules on what I eat, but for 2 years now 90% of time my food is vegetarian. It's beans. boiled eggs, bananas and all kinds of vegetable salad with youghurt. Sometimes when I'm in a mood for IRL low tech hacks I scam some beef and lamb meat on self service checkouts. Then I cook that meat only with salt on grill :D
Why do you eat the way you do?
I eat boiled eggs, because it requires just a little bit of time to prepare and it is in superfood category ir contains many good things. So It's like I put 15 eggs in a pot with water and leave it on cooker for 15-40min :D sometimes I forget it for a few hours and t has some terrible consequences with smell for a few days :D
I think it is because I live alone for like 5 years now, so I learned best ways to prepare food for myself without spending too much time in a kitchen.
What is your opinion about veganism?
Well I'm neutral on this one. Because I eat all kinds of food. And I'm not judging others for their choices of food.
What was your last meal?
LOL. Salt & Vinegar Sticks + Apple Cider
-
My family are into healthy eating and fitness so I've found my diet vaguely matches a fairly standard bodybuilding one, but generally, I just eat whatever I want:
Breakfast:
Oats + Milk/Water + either some whey protein or will mix some 0% Greek yoghurt in + maybe some honey to sweeten + fruit
Lunch:
Some sort of vegetables + either Tuna, Mozzarella, Chicken or Turkey breast
Snack/Meal right after school:
Oats + Water + a little bit of protein
Dinner:
Whatever I feel like, usually vegetables, brown rice + meat/fish
I snack on fruit and vegetables and yoghurt sometimes
Generally don't really eat food for pleasure, but I'd say my weaknesses are ice cream and chocolate. Plainly put, I just see food as a means of fuelling my body and making it perform at an optimum level
-
I only eat: fast food, soda, coffee, milk, and ceral.
-
I don't really have strict rules on what I'm eating. I'm trying to intake less sugar and that's all that comes to my mind when I think about eating more healthy, because I really like sweets.
I eat the way I do because since I was little no one really talked to me about it and tried to change my eating habits. Maybe because they aren't actually bad, I don't know.
I did think about veganism and I don't think we will ever come to an agreement if it is the right way. It's kinda hard to approach the problem objectively, because the nature of the problem is very subjective and depends heavily on personal beliefs. So I'd say that everyone should eat whatever they want.
However, I do think that we have to be careful and put a limit to how much meat we produce so that we don't endanger more species than we already have.
I see that many people become vegan because they are against animal brutality, and IMO that's a wrong approach. I do believe that as a species that doesn't get eaten very often we have the responsibility to treat the animals we eat with respect, but becoming vegan because of that is giving up without a fight.
There's nothing wrong in eating living things, what in the world isn't a living thing?
Let's just treat them better, because they do feel pain and no one likes pain (at least no one with a healthy mind).
-
I eat mostly Vegetarian Stuff but Sometimes egg and chicken also . As for fast food stuff , I don't it that much may be once a month or so .
-
Rice, Eggs or Beans sometimes a little chicken or beef 8)

Mice.
But in all seriousness, I am a major carnivore. I have severe chronic anemia, so I have to eat quite a bit to keep my iron up. Funny thing is, we discovered it when I attempted a vegetarian diet. Despite eating plenty of plant matter with iron, my levels dropped so bad that I was convulsing, joints locking up, all sorts of jazz. Doc says I just process animal based iron a lot better than plant based! Keeps me really little though, so I guess I can't complain.
Been dropping out sugars and carbs almost completely though, cept juice and fruit. Marrying a type 1 diabetic in a few weeks. Goodbye delicious sugary sugar, goodbye cake, goodbye.
-
Well as many of you could assume by my nick i eat pasta. This is true.
However being that I weight lift my diet is all over the map. I typically 6 months out of the year follow a diet through renaissance periodization. The other months eat like a bear getting ready for hibernation.
I hate fish, avocado
I'm currently on the eating like a bear phase. Since I'm nursing a hamstring injury and neck injury ..
Advice never let your ego do the lifting for you hahah.
Favorites: steak, beef jerky, steak, burgers, any meat smoked
Now I recommend seasonings by flavor God
