Greetings all -<br><br><br><br>
I have been animal meat-free since April. After watching a TV show about how peeps (baby chicks) are processed, I decided to no longer eat animals that are specifically raised (mass produced) for human consumption.<br><br><br><br>
I believe I am a "Pescatarian" - still allowing the occasional fish dish, and also continuing to consuming eggs & dairy products.<br><br><br><br>
I do not believe that I wish to become fully vegan. (At least not in the near future.) I do quite enjoy eating raw foods over any of the veggie meat substitutes. I don't have a taste for them. (But I do enjoy Mornigstar veggie burgers)<br><br><br><br>

Welcome to the boards, Stephanie! You say that you don't want to be fully vegan, which is absolutely fine, but do you plan to become a full vegetarian? (No judgement, I'm just curious! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">)

Welcome to the boards and congratulations on reducing your animal consumption!<br><br><br><br>
I personally didn't like any meat subs for at least a year after I became a vegetarian. I think you have to forget what meat feels like/tastes like so you can enjoy them on their own merits without comparing the taste and texture to meat!

Hello!<br><br><br><br>
By a full vegetarian, I assume that you mean giving up fish? I'm not sure yet. Since my decision to give up flesh & fowl was more of an ethical one than a health one, I need to perform some research on fish farming/harvesting to make up my mind. I'm not eating much fish now - maybe once a week?<br><br><br><br>
Thanks for asking -<br><br>
