Who is a vegetarian now?

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I have been a vegetarian for 16 yrs and I have two veg. kids. A few months

ago I started to think that maybe I would be interested in eating a piece of

salmon but I was not sure if I could really do it. DD went to Alaska 3 weeks

ago and brought back a lot of salmon and I did give it a try but I did not

care for it at all. Last Sunday he use blackening and cooked it on the stove

top so I tried it again and it was very good. I think that I will try it

again.I have been trying to increase my protein because of some health

problems that I have always had so this has helped a little and I did feel

good after I ate it. I do not at all feel that this is wrong or am I uneasy

with this decision to eat the salmon and I do still think of my self as a

veg.but I have been wondering am I .according to the definition of veg.I

would not be.So than who am I?

I stopped eating animals 16 yrs ago because I think that factory farming is

just wrong and I was not going to support it with my dollors. But I do not

have a problem with the many that I know that raise their own animals to eat,

but I would not at all want to eat them. I have always thought that being a

veg was a lot more that just not eating animals. That raising healthy and

thinking kids and trying to walk as lightly on this earth as I can and

teaching my girls to as well was also a part of being a veg.

So who is a Vegatarian.Iam I? How would you feel?

Try to tune into to Animal Planet's segment on Alaskan salmon. I watched it last

night and it was amazing and inspirational. 1 in 1000 of those adult salmon

make it back to their birthplace to spawn and after seeing their tremendous

desire to live and carry on, I don't see how killing them them to add protein to

my diet could be justified. Just my thoughts. Jeannie

Hi,

Sounds like your craving is your body telling you that you need something in

the fish - essential fatty acids, maybe. I always believe in listening to

the cravings of your body but I would not consider you a vegetarian if you

ate fish. Fish are in the animal kingdom.

The Toronto Vegetarian Association defines a vegetarian as someone who lives

on a diet free of meat, fish and fowl with or without the addition of dairy

or eggs.

 

PS: A fish is not a vegetable.

My Dear Felise;

you have chosen not to be a vegetarian. Either you eat flesh or you

don't. The choice is all yours. You make the choice. eEting dead fleah can

never be good for any sickness. Please don't kid yourself.
