I'm not vegetarian, but I could be. Miso soup with Wombok, tofu and mushrooms.
Would you give up fish as well?

They do polarize! I'm a nerd, so looked at their nutritional values and taught myself to like them. Disguise their taste with turmeric, curry powder or paste.

And why are you thinking of going vegan, @Inigo Montoya ?

Don't you also need meat for nutritional value? Or is there like some meat substitute you can get?

I think if you eat fish, but not other flesh, it's called piscaterian.

I'm not convinced men need much iron....I lived remotely once on canned food with no red meat for months. Protein-wise eggs, lentils/beans, tofu, mushrooms are high.

I know, I'm sorry, I dropped off the radar for a bit but I'm back!
I guess I just knew Inigo would be talking about some horrible food as I happened to come back just as that was posted.

It will be good for the environment and with the local farmers market here every Saturday it's probably a good idea to buy as much food as possible that is locally grown rather than stuff from woolies or Coles which comes from all over the place.
Don't do that to me again. This place got dark in your absence.

That doesn't sound very nice. I'd much rather eat meat. But I say credit to anyone who can stick to a diet.

I decided that my death row meal would be a toasted bagel with salmon and brie.
What about locally grown cows?

I think it's probably a question of ethics; or perhaps a questionable, rather confused, question of ethics. Some people object to the cruelty involved in the farming, transportation and slaughter of land animals and perhaps feel that fish enjoy a better quality of life and death. Longline fishing and netting would really debunk that theory, though, I think. The eating of shellfish is probably more defensible. Shellfish don't have a nervous system that can register pain, but they should certainly be farmed and harvested in such a way that does no harm to other organisms or to the environment.

Cows need their feed grown for them + transported, then the cows are transported to the slaughter house, which needs electricity to run, then the meat is processed and transported again to the shops, + cows fart a lot and take up too much room.

I think some people think creatures without eyelids feel no pain. I know squid feel anger.
