Good one Fossil... thought I might add a little info to your 'vegetarian' outlook... Personally I do not consume red meat, lamb or pork but i do consume other... such as some chicken, turkey (albeit in very small quantities), & great amounts of fish (& seafood) plus other such things like beans, rice, tofu etc. Here are Four Types of Vegetarian Diets: The vegan diet This is the most restrictive type of vegetarian diet. Vegans not only eliminate all animal-based foods but avoid dairy products of all types as well as eggs. While generally considered to be a healthy diet in terms of preventing disease, it takes planning to get enough protein, iron, and calcium on a vegan diet, although it's not impossible. Many people start out with less restrictive form of vegetarianism and gradually progress to a vegan diet over time. Lacto-vegetarianism People who adopt a lacto-vegetarian diet abstain from all meat products, including eggs, but continue to eat dairy products. The advantage to this form of vegetarianism is you're less likely to develop a calcium deficiency due to the inclusion of calcium rich milk products. Lacto-ovo vegetarianism Lacto-ovo vegetarians avoid all meat but allow themselves to eat both dairy products and eggs. The inclusion of eggs and milk makes it easier to maintain calcium and protein levels and is, in general, an easier form of vegetarianism to adapt to, particularly if you eat out a great deal. Have you ever stopped to consider how many baked goods contain eggs and dairy products? Note: I've also met many 'heavy-set' people in this category... baked goods, maybe? Pescatarians One of the least restrictive forms of vegetarianism is the pescatarian lifestyle where you avoid all meat products with the exception of fish. Many people don't consider pescatarians to be true vegetarians since they allow themselves to eat seafood. They also consume dairy products and eggs. Then I found another type of vegetarian: Flexitarian is a relatively new term for a type of “on and off” vegetarian who eats a basic lacto-ovo vegetarian diet with the addition of meat products on occasion. This group of vegetarians is sometimes criticized for their lack of commitment to the vegetarian cause. Some flexitarians use this more flexible form of vegetarianism to test the waters and eventually transition over to more restrictive types of vegetarianism. I am told (& I've read) that most of these options are healthier than the traditional American/Canadian diet when it comes to preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Glad you explained Abelle... I've often thought of the BBQ steaks I used to enjoy many years ago but due to a health problem at the time, I had to give it up (doctor/nutritionist's suggestion . Today I don't miss any of that, although I am asked quite frequently how I could stand it when attending a BBQ now and then... I'll have chicken instead... my son does steaks, chicken & shrimp so that works!!

Well, I enjoy meat along with vegetables! Wonder what that makes me? Uh, maybe normal? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Of course, Salsa, there are those who might say neither of us could be considered "normal". LOL. That must make us unique!

We uproot plants for food, thus we are killing. How about we just stop eating?
