I'm not any more, but I was a vegetarian once. I think it's becoming more popular due to people focusing on the health-related and environmental benefits of it.
I agree. Do you eat red meats?
I do eat beef cuts like beef jerky and beef trimmings sometimes, but not very often.
Ok cool! How about pork? Did you like being a vegetarian?
I eat pork sometimes too, yeah I enjoyed it a fair amount. I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian so I still ate eggs and dairy products though.
ok cool! I've thought about just eating turkey and seafood, but I haven't made up my mind,lol
That sounds close to a pescatarian diet, where you eat seafood but not meat. I don't think I could be a vegan, which is where you don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs or any animal products.
Right! I don't think that I could be a vegan either. I try to workout often so I can enjoy great food without feelings guilty
That's great, it's such a good idea to workout to stay healthy. Another hard part of being a vegan is that processed foods like cookies and cakes often have unfamiliar or hidden animal ingredients, so it's hard to keep track of everything.
Yes, I can imagine all of the research that is required to live that lifestyle.
