Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Hi. The thought of eating meat, especially red meat, literally makes me feel ill. The smell of meat cooking is totally repulsive. Twice during the 15 years I've been a vegetarian I attempted to eat fish. I got sick both times. No problem at all for me. I'll never touch the stuff again. Crystal >Does anyone have a problem craving meat? I 've been a vegetarian for over >ten years and I still long for a roast.

I've only been a veggie for a year (I know, still a baby!) but I do crave meat occasionally. Thinking about why I became a vegetarian (I just couldn't eat animals anymore, and I had started to see the faces of the animal that the meat came from - trippy, I know...) helps, especially if the meat is right in front of you. But I figured out that when I craved meat (especially red meat), I actually needed iron. So I take an iron supplement, bulk up on leafy greens or iron fortified foods, and I'm fine. Do you eat meat-flavoured foods? If you don't think it's your iron, then maybe you just miss the taste? A lot of people were raised on meat, I think the taste is what stops some people from giving it up. Just a couple thoughts. Iron worked for me, hope it may work for you!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Barbara, I've been veggie for four years now, and I've had this problem a couple of times. The first is easily explainable. At the time I was waiting tables at this upscale seafood restaurant that had almost nothing vegetarian on the menu. So all day long I'd be carrying around these dishes that smelled really good, but then I'd end up eating the same one or two items that the kitchen would make for me. So that was more frustration than anything. The stranger time was earlier this year, and it really freaked me out. For about a month I had these weird cravings for chicken. I almost stopped being vegetarian. I don't know what caused them, but they went away & I haven't had any other cravings in the longest time. The only other times were when I would see or smell a dish that had happy childhood memories for me. But those weren't really cravings, they were more nostalgia.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Colleen, Thanks for the info. I have contacted FoodTV. Please kindly send an email reminder to the group when the show is about to go on air. Thanks, Robin wrote: There is 1 message in this issue. Topics in this digest: 1.

Patrick-Goudreau/Compassionate Cooks " Vegan BBQ on Food Network - Beautifully Represented - Please Send Thank You! Hi everyone, We made history last night! The segment we filmed for the Food Network show called " BBQ with Bobby Flay " aired last night and was very flattering. This was their first vegan show/segment ever aired! They depicted us very accuately and respectfully and really celebrated the food we created and shared. They even zoomed in on our bumper sticker (BE KIND TO ANIMALS - DON'T EAT THEM) on our car as we drove away from the grocery store. They were originally supposed to re-broadcast it on Jan. 8th, but I see that that date is no longer listed. So they NEED to hear from people!! PLEASE PLEASE send an email to the producers today thanking them for airing a vegetarian/vegan segment and for portraying us in such a positive light. Encourage them to have a vegetarian show on their network and to pass your email along to Food Network executives who will make this decision. I think it's important to remind them that the audience for a plant-based show is very large - as more people eat vegetables than eat meat! Also, ask them to re-broadcast the vegan segment! Please write today and drop me a line so I can get an idea of how many people write to them http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_sf/text/0,1976,FOOD_17616_21388,00.html.
