Vegetarian Club Anyone?

While obviously it's your own choice and i'm not in any position to tell you what decisions to make, i would argue that the horrible conditions that cows have to endure in factory farms during the milking process are indeed painful.

And as someone earlier on in this thread brought up, rennett which is found in most cheeses (being the inner lining of a baby cow's stomach) is somewhat inarguably non-vegetarian friendly :hmm:

Correct. Also, dairy cows live much shorter lives, due to tremendous stress and guess where they are sent when the are "worthless"???

I'm in the same boat.

I have never, EVER tasted a faux meat that was anywhere close to the real thing. That's not to say that I haven't found some of it tasty, but NO. WAY. MAN. Not even close.

Im a vegetarian newb, been about 4 months. My girlfriend has been one for over 10 years. We still eat some dairy (mostly cheese) and eggs. I buy the morning star veggie sausage patties to make breakfast sandwichs and my carnivorous friends cant tell the difference. Same when we make vegetarian spaghetti with mock meatballs, you'd never know the difference!

I went veg once when I was 16 but found it hard to stick as I didnt have much support in the way of family, and most everything my mother cooked was meat. I found it much easier to undertake the second time around after dating a vegetarian, and now Im stuck! I was easily able to give meat up (for both health and animal rights issues) when I started cooking for my girlfriend (I love to cook) and now Im quite happy with my decision and can't see myself eating meat again. I had my last meat meal while dining out with my girlfriends family (none of whom is vegetarian)... and only because that particular restaurant had practically no veggie options aside from a disgusting looking salad.

There's this really awesome restaurant in my hometown of West Covina, Ca called One World. Everything they serve is vegan and everything Ive eaten there tasted great! Sweet & sour or orange fake chicken tastes great. The veggie teryaki sticks are delicious and the last time I was there I had the best sloppy joe Ive ever had in my life, and there was no meat in it!

Oh, I guess I'll take a number!

Last week camping with my girlfriend in Malibu we wanted to make something we could BBQ. Whats better camping food than street dogs? You know the carnivores love their bacon wrapped hot dogs... so we bought some veggie dogs and wrapped them in some veggie bacon with a little BBQ sauce and some grilled onions & peppers. Masterpiece!
And seriously, veggie dogs taste way better than real hotdogs.

Agreed! I think they taste much better.

I'm curious, just starting to get into Bands and stuff..is it hard to stick to only Veggies, when you're on the road, [who knows where you stop, who knows what there is to eat?]

Not really, ime. If you have to eat fast food, at Subway there are veggie subs, Taco Bell has bean burritos, Burger King has a veggie burger, side salads etc.

You can always bring along apples, granola bars, nuts, etc. Those travel well.

One of the best favors you can do for yourself is not eat at fast food places on tour anyway. Stick to eating at grocery stores and the quality of food will be much better. I treat touring like a physical challenge; the better you eat the longer it will take lack of sleep and exertion to get to you.

It's great playing in bands with multiple/all vegetarians too, especially if anyone's vegan.

Count me in. Number, please! Is the list in the op up to date?

Anyways, I've been a vegetarian for about 4 years now and don't miss the meatz at all. Most people (including my band mates) don't know about that, but I guess there's no need to tell the whole world.

I like cooking and do it every so often for my family, but my brother is one of those hardcore carnivores who won't touch anything if it has no dead things in it. :eyebrow:

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was the obvious one. As of now, I don't feel like I'll ever go back to eating meat again. Haven't had any withdrawal symptoms the first few days/weeks/months either, I know some people who gave up because of those... Scary.

Technically you'd be considered a pescatarian (though i made it a point not to exclude.. ) would you really be considered even pescatarian if you eat turkey every year?

My brother had a year long stay in japan recently and said that their de-odorant is weaker there, because since they barely eat red-meat, odor is not as much of a problem. think there's truth to this?

List will be posted in next post
