Do you eat meat?

[neoprema]

@yebocan had me at the dhall and vegetables tbh

I do make exception for vegetarian dishes when they're some or other form of North/South or any kind of Indian food Too good to pass...

This thread is a vegan's worst nightmare....

Meat just happens to be the most condensed form of vegetable you could hope to find. Guess I'm vegetarian then.

While I do eat meat I find myself thinking more and more about the ethics of it.

I mostly think of the next kind of meat I'm going to eat while I'm eating meat ...

don't think it's right that factory farming produces so much meat so cheaply. I try to stick to ethically-sourced (free range) meat as much as I can, with the result that I end up typically eating rather little of it. I don't always succeed, and good meat is really really expensive, but it's something I'm working towards.

you're in luck, pretty much ALL meat grown in South Africa is free range, chicken and to some extent pork is where it gets a bit dodgy locally

but ZA lamb and ZA beef IS free range, even if it doesn't have the label, the label costs money which not all farmers wanna pay for

I am vegetarian, was just a natural transition for me.....as I cultivated a bit of more awareness within myself...-on one dimension. I started feeling the heaviness and rather acidic after my normal/favourite meals...just got to a point, where I went...ok lets try no meat for a couple of weeks...could feel the ease at which my body started running... started eating consciously....not mixing acid and alkaline producing food stuffs at the same time....cut out milk,., started replacing my meals with a balance of fruits/nuts/veggies/legumes...

on occasions when I am out, I eat whatever vegetarian options are available/offered.. usually cardboard look and feel like meat, when fish and a quick salad would have worked, but appreciate people's effort .My staple food is dahl in winter and whatever seasonal veggies are available... really inexpensive...you eat what the body requires, not what the tongue demands - not that the tongue does not at times win the debate.... eating should not be a philosophy, find out what works for you and run with it...

So you are vegetarian because you are Indian so why the long post

dont think many realise how organic/still natural our food supply general still is , from meats to fruit and veggies... although I have my doubts about some of Woolies fresh produce.

Haibo ...I have been accused of many things...78.5% of those might be true....but never have I been accused of being Indian....just because I know how to cook dahl, am a yogi , have a guru...

But I guess you are guilty of having an A blood type?

I've never seen the appeal behind adding egg to a meat meal. There's already a lot of protein!

Egg on steak, egg McMuffin, egg in a dagwood, egg in a burger, egg and sausages for breakfast, egg in a ceviche, it just works

So you have lentil soup then

nah, common Type B

not partial - like my dahl to have the consistency of porridge, ghee/butter is the key to getting it to that level...

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Hell yes, but still try some Veg to vary things a bit.
and respect those that dont eat meat,

 

[10:10]

I eat meat but it is expensive and mince meat burns a hole in my soul with all the stomach acid it produces.

 

[ghaye]

nah, common Type B

Normally Type A can't handle too much meat. Type B is not that common in certain parts of the world. Like SA. Where do you live? Hong Kong?

It really is painless - what I witnessed is a gun shot to the head. Instant

So a decent abattoir then. Those are nice.

I've seen some odd ones. Specially when they produce Halaal meat.

I'm A+ , no prob eating meat like a horse most of my life. It's the starch that does me in.
