Can you help me out with this??

Question

I want to become a vegetarian! I love meat so much but I cant stand what happens to the animals! You can say I am pathetic. I just don't know how to start this! Cold turkey or should I cut meat out slowly! Can I not have things like cheese or how does this work!!! I am kinda lost!

Answer 1

i started out by just eating poultry then i gradually started cutting out turkey and then chicken and now i only eat veggies and fruits!

Answer 2

this will motivate you to become a vegetarian, the animals have to go through soo much

here are some quotes from the book Slaughterhouse by Gail Eisnitz, she interviewed dozens of slaughterhouse employees they are graphic and difficult to read:

- "Pigs on the kill floor have come up and nuzzled me like a puppy. Two minutes later i had to kill them-- beat them to death with a pipe."

- " i seen guys take broomstickes and stick it up the cow's behind, s******g them with a broom"

- " one time i took my kinife -- its sharp enough -- and sliced off the end of a hogs nose, just like a piece of bologna. the hog went crazy for a few seconds. Then it just sat there looking kind of stupid. So i took a hanful of salt brine and ground it into his nose. The hog went nuts, pushing its nose all over the place. i still had a bunch of salt left in my hand -- i was wearing a rubber glove -- and i stuck the salt right up the hogs ***. The poor hog didn't know weather to s*it or go blind."

Animals hear the screaming and crying of other animals being slaughtered and are terrified. They know they are about to be killed and they are panic sticken.

Answer 3

I say become lacto vegetarian.

Answer 4

Yes, you can quit cold turkey.  It seems all vegetarians make their own rules.  Some eat poultry and fish. Most eat cheese and eggs, but then again, some don't.  You might want to research it on the computer. Google "vegetarian" and go from there.  You'll learn a lot.  Or you can even type in the white strip above: What do vegetarians eat?  I'm sure it's been asked many times.

You'll figure it out. and you are not pathetic! You're sweet.  that deserves a star!  Bless you and good luck! :)

Answer 5

I on the same idea as you.

I wanted to be a Vegitarian but I just Love Meat.

My Cousin eats soy meat. I thinks its good.

it taste like meat but its not.

hope this helps!

Answer 6

Vegetarian means no meat essentially. At least no meat from a living animal.

Vegans are the ones that don't eat any animal by-product, meaning no cheese, no meat, nothing. 100% natural from the earth only. (honestly most healthy way to eat, but very difficult)

Id suggest just hitting it cold turkey. It may be difficult, but if your serious about doing it, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I tried to be a vegan and i couldn't do it! Vegans don't eat ANY animal products whatsoever.  So, I became a vegetarian for a year. A vegetarian doesn't eat meat, including birds.  Some vegetarians eat seafood.  

Before I became a vegetarian, i hadn't eaten red meat or pork for about 10 years. i used ground turkey or chicken, turkey hot dogs, etc. in place of other meats.  This was really easy for me.  i started when I was 14 and continued for 10years.  B/c of this, it was easier for me to become vegetarian.

If you want to, begin by removing red meat and pork from your diet. After you've become accustomed to that, cut out birds. You're going to want to add more soy products (soy milk, etc. ) and beans (beans and rice is a good dish).  If you want to go vegan, then good luck! it's really hard to cut ALL animal products out.  you'll find out that almost everything has some sort of animal product in it.

You can always shop at a health food store and buy cruelty free foods (many grocery stores also have these foods now).  You can buy free-range meats, where the animals live a cruelty free life until death and dairy products from these same farms.  There are many options. Hope this helps!
