In regards to eating meat

[Meerie]

I am just offering a different view here. Actually I tried to go vegetarian (hear hear!) but I just found I could not exclude things from my diet categorically.

That is where dicipline, or lack thereof, come into play. Dicipline is a difficult thing. That would be why there are few masters in the world.

Well if that helps you can call me undisciplined LOL. And I certainly do not claim mastery here. For me it is more about enjoying the occasional bit of meat. Why should I give up on something I enjoy. You cannot understand this as for you the guilt factor plays into it. So be it. As for obsessions I ask, who is more obsessed, someone who categorically excludes many things from their diet, because they think them "bad" or someone who does not exclude and goes after what their stomach tells them is good for them?
No thing is good or bad per se, it is just your thinking that makes it so.

Would you be interested in sharing why not? I am curious as to why some people seem to have such a difficult time giving up meat..

As I already mentioned I just enjoy eating it. And it is not that I eat it constantly.... yesterday for example I was completely meat-free the whole day. I had a nice pasta with tomato sauce and salad for lunch (although your friend Pickle will probably insist that wheat is baaaad for you All I can say is I enjoyed it and it tasted deliciously.
That is right, I cannot know for sure that all these people are actually 100% vegan / vegetarian. They just fit nicely in the overall impression I have of vegans / vegetarians LOL.
It is nice to hear you are not emaciated or sickly looking
