I am a lacto – vegeterian but i tried one of the mock meat entrees recently well i am not sure if i liked it!

My friends who are hardcore carnivorous (lol) commented that it does taste like chicken/fish whatever it was called supposed to mock…any comments?

classification made about food habits, keeping vegetarians in mind

“I don’t eat anything that had a face or a mother”

Blue Athena,
Brahmins don’t eat onions. Yes they give different reasons why they can’t eat what they don’t like to eat.
And thanks for the suggestion. By the pace at which I adopt things, it will take decades to me to be a vegan. Taste buds usually have higher influence over the mind cells .

Thanks for the suggestions in your second comment. Yes they are informative and value addition (and correction too). My post is pretty old and is migrated one too. So I am thinking lets not modify the post. People will read post and follow your comment too. Wot say? Thanks.

As for raw food dieters, here in the US it is not mostly done at the advice of a doctor, but through joining to groups trhough the internet where one is persuaded towards this belief.

I think another category, or categories, is needed: Non-Brahmin religious vegetarians. This is because some other religious groups also have special rules, such as eating roadkill or meat when required for other ends (some mongolian buddhists, for instance). Or just generally as a catch-category because I think some other things are probably left out. I think this group is different than “Religious – NON – Vegetarians” because they are basically vegetarian (also see Seventh Day Adventists).

Religious – NON – Vegetarians…I might call these “Religious selective meat eaters” to avoid use of definition by negation.

Great list, by the way–should be very useful to the non-vegetarians.

Be very careful with your B12 if trying to be vegan. There is a good deal of misinformation out there about the need for this vitamin.

@kaushik
Yes. i am trying to be a vegan

@ shashi
thanks for the info. But these must be rare, arent they ? Happy to know lot of people are vegetarians, by ethics ( not by some holy books )

@Ludo
yeah ..??!!

@ Daijinryuu
Yes , kaushik was commenting on me, he knows me personally. But

@ diana
YAY..! thats the spirit.

I went from being a pescotarian to lacto-ovo to lacto. I would be vegan if it wasn’t for my desire to keep drinking organic skim milk that comes from small local dairies that still practice the ancient art of animal husbandry and the cows, bulls, and other livestock are actually treated well.

I don’t even eat most cheeses and other diary solids unless it is “veggie friendly” because of the rennet, an animal protein, to help speed the solidifying, that comes from the dead of slaughter houses.

you have turned to ‘lacto ovo’ from ‘lacto’ and still say you are trying to be a vegan?
