Re: How many of you are vegetarian/vegan and why?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll answer all the questions I usually get asked because I'm bored.

I never wanted to eat meat as a kid. I hate the idea of eating animals (I'm that kid who cried when I accidentally stepped on bugs) and the texture and taste has always bothered me, and I have problems with my gut so digesting it is so exhausting I would feel gross for hours after eating it.

I got to my teenage years and realised there was nothing anyone could really do about it if I didn't want to eat it because I was very independent by that stage. Haven't had any in 14 years. I sometimes forget that there's a word for not eating meat. I don't feel like I would be able to influence anyone else not to eat it, but I do wish we'd move on from unsustainable and environmentally harmful food production as a society.

I'm not vegan. I eat eggs sometimes, but I know the chickens supplying them and they taste a lot better than store bought anyway because those ladies get a varied diet. I'm lactose intolerant so I don't drink real milk. Some poor farmer milks some almonds for me somehow.

I think peta are crazypants. No, I don't think I miss anything other than some "chicken" flavoured things... some of which turned out to not contain any chicken at all so I still get my MSG fix lol.

There is something deeply, painfully ironic about anyone complaining about unsustainable and environmentally harmful food production in the same comment as they talk about drinking almond milk.

Seriously. Almonds are horrid for the environment.

NAYRT—not really. It’s more that, much like current large-scale cow milk production, large scale almond (milk and otherwise) production is all about $$ at the expense of the environment because it’s concentrated in parts of California where there’s not enough water to sustain thousands of hectares of almond (or any other tree nut/stone fruit) trees, or cattle, or honestly, anything that requires lots of water.

Which does, in fact, mean that almonds - particularly in milk form - are horrible for the environment. The possibility of a hypothetical sustainable model being dreamt up in the future is irrelevant to current reality.

And given the climate requirements for almond trees to thrive, it's unlikely that almond milk could be sustainably produced for large portions of the world - the fuel requirements to ship it in bulk from places where almond trees are actually meant to grow would be as bad as the water waste.

I'm reducitarian, I guess?

I hardly ever eat meat, but I don't make myself a rule of "don't eat meat ever" because I have a history of disordered eating, and don't want to risk falling back into old, orthorexic patterns.
