Which are you?

Vegetarian- Vegetarians don't eat meat or animal fat. The definition of this word sometimes includes eating fish, but only as a common misconception. Vegetarians don't eat fish. see below:

Aquatarian- Aquatarians are basically vegetarians who eat seafood.

Omnivore- Omnivours eat meat and seafood and veggies, etc...

Vegan- Vegans don't use or eat animal products, including milk (dairy products), fur, leather, and the like.

Other- Post your eating... preferences/morals... i guess... xD

I'm vegetarian. I tried veganism once but it was difficult to keep going when you don't know what to buy, where to buy it, and when you live with a family who eats/uses animal products.

Omnivore


don't mean to bother anyone


but I pretty much find stupid any other way of eating.... unless you're alergic or whatever



PS: don't wanna argue... won't answer or blah blah, is just my opinion

I chose omnivore but I'm highly picky with food.

What's the point in being aquatarian? You might as well eat other animals while you're at it.

I'm an omnivore.

What's wrong with archaebacteria? I quite enjoy their extremophilic flavour. Zesty *licks lips*

I'm guessing taste? XD

I'm an omnivore, out of respect XD. If it were only me I wish we could survive healthily on water alone though, I don't like eating much. But I love cuisine o_O am I weird or what.

Mostly people do it to loose weight since seafood is low in fat.

I eat fungi.

Mushrooms are so good.

Omnivore.

I've been thinking about vegetarianism lately, but I honestly don't think I could commit to it.

Omnivore.

But I usually try to only eat vegetables, mushrooms, fruit, vitamin pills, and jellybeans (can't help those...).
Occasionally chicken or fish.
It's like the Okinawa Plan, only without carbs.

Being a vegetarian never crossed my mind because
1) plants and animals are both alive, so no moral qualms there
2) the vegetarian stuff is usually with the "natural food" stuff, and that smells funny
3) it's harder to stay healthy
4) humans can digest meat so we were meant to eat it


...where do frogs factor in here?

Omnivore.

Though I get mistaken for a vegetarian often, because I don't eat much meat. I eat a lot of veggies and fruit. Not because I'm a health nut. They're just delicious.

1) plants and animals are both alive, so no moral qualms there
Whenever I come across a militant vegan I think about how I can't wait for the day scientists discover that vegetables have feelings too.

Omnivore, and I can't ever see myself as a vegetarian... I enjoy food and I like to try new and different things and that becomes like ten times harder if you're vegetarian .p But because my brother is vegetarian we eat a lot of vegofood at home :3 (He is that kind that eats seafood too, so fish is very common on our dinner.)

Not only that... how many voles and fieldmice and shrews and whatnot get shredded when we plow our huge fields of soy, and then run a harvesting combine over them? It probably actually results in less animal deaths if you let a cow walk around and eat grass, then kill and eat the cow XD

I stopped eating meat a while ago just because I thought it tasted gross. I hated seeing meat juice on my plate. ::bleh:: I feel a lot healthier not eating meat.

Anyway, just for a point of accuracy, a "vegetarian" who eats seafood is more commonly called a pescatarian (sorry for the horrid spelling), not aquatarian...I've actually never heard that term before. I'm curious to see where you got it from.

Ha! I've never thought of that one. ::meev:: Not to mention the insects that are killed through pest control. (But they don't count because they're not cute and fuzzy. ::bleh:: )
