Question

Are you a vegan?

Answer 1

Humans were made to eat grain, meat, vegetables and fruits.
We need a balanced diet to be truly healthy.

Answer 2

No meat?!? Not happening.

Answer 3

I think this is about Vegan. And where there are no meat or dairy products, no amount of knowledge will replace them.

Answer 4

The variety of food, spices and ability to be creative with them is what make any culinary experience interesting. My daughter is vegan and her meal are varied and very interesting and flavorful. It seem obvious that you have not had any real experience with vegan cuisine.

Answer 5

You are quite right. I have eaten vegetarian which contained eggs. But at the *** of the day, no amount of spice on a vegetable can replace the flavour I'm looking for.

Answer 6

Gotcha.

I grew up in Germany. One of our staple foods is raw minced meat ("Met" we call it). You need to put onions, salt and pepper on it else it has almost no taste.

I used to eat a lot of raw meat, including livers (both, pork, beef and chicken), the livers tastes somewhat bitter but not too much either.

When cooking the meat without salt or anything the taste is very shallow, that's why you need to add spices.

Mind you, the meat I ate was from a butcher, when living in Spain we even bought veal among many, held privately and slaugthered for us by our town's butcher. No half-***** supermarket crap.

So, what's exactly the flavour your are looking for then if meat has practically no flavour?

Answer 7

Have you ever eaten steak in Australia? The good stuff is stunning.

Answer 8

You don't know a lot about cooking in general do you ?
;)

Answer 9

Yup. Love meat and other animal products, but gave them up some years ago.

Answer 10

And I can't think of a sadder, grimmer, more depressing culinary existence.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

Just too fond of meat and all it's tasty, protein-ladened goodness.

Answer 16

Too much meat is bad for you!

Answer 17

I love animals. I think they taste great.

Answer 18

You reallly do not know much about a vegetarian diet do you.

Answer 19

I eat meat.

Answer 20

I love meat and dairy products too much to give them up.

Answer 21

It's been 11 months and a week

Answer 22

Yes I am.

And I am an athlete and keep a detailed log of my nutrition (I would even if I weren't vegan).

The only thing that vegans have problems with is the amino-acid methionine, but it's easy to get enough if you eat sesame oil and seeds, and given that I feel in love with Korean cuisine I have no issue with this stuff.

I recommend sesame oil even if you aren't vegan or vegetarian, it's da bomb!

Answer 23

I don't drink milk or eat eggs (allergic) and animal products in general I don't consume outside of honey (but animal items, such as leather, wool, silk, etc I still have and don't plan of getting ride of [since all of its come down to me over the years though family members] but at the same time I won't spend funds on such items if it can be helped). So depends on the definition of being vegan i might or might not fall under it - but regardless I eat what works for me and outside of that it is what it is.

Answer 24

Would like to be as I've been considering becoming one for a while just can't seem to do it tho, although I don't eat chicken, turkey, etc only bacon and red meat

Answer 25

Cheryl it can take a while. I am almost a vegan as the only animal product I really eat now is a bit of flavoured tuna and cheese on pizza.
What helped me is seeing all of the animal cruelty photos and videos. Eating animals is also bad for the environment.
Despite what meat eaters say, eating animals is NOT necessary for humans to be healthy. In fact people are more UNHEALTHY from eating too much animal products!

Answer 26

No.

Answer 27

Nor would I ever become one.

Answer 28

and never will be. Good burgers, chicken, pork, turkey, all kinds of seafood - they are a major part of my diet.

Answer 29

Answer 30

I'm vegetarian. I can't quite manage vegan as I'm a very picky eater AND have a metabolic condition that restricts the food I can eat even more! My boyfriend is vegan. We're both animal lovers. :)

Answer 31

I'm close to vegetarian though but have meat occasionally, but my sister is.

Answer 32

No, I was not born in Nevada.

Answer 33

I like red meat pork chicken and most all seafood but do eat fruit & veggies every day as well.

Answer 34

Red Meat pork chicken?
Whaoo, in your country genetic engineering must be really advanced!!
Can you post pictures of that?

Answer 35

Answer 36

I am vegetarian, however. Love me some cheese!

Answer 37

I probably could be, if I could just give up meat.

Answer 38

I'm not 100% vegan, cause I eat eggs - but rarely . I used to eat fish (only a specific type of fish cooked in a specific way, lol I'm so choosy) and the occasional chicken (not even a whole piece) but I haven't eaten it in a long time. So I'm sort of a vegan, it's very **** for me to accustom with the rest of my family members since they enjoy all kinds of meat. Meh.
