What do you REALLY think about Vegetarians?

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone tells you they're a vegetarian?

My response has always been to offer them the use of my kitchen and its contents while the rest of us eat. I'm not Burger King, I'm Lala. And there's a Burger King down the road a piece.

My daughter is vegetarian and has been since she was 14 yo

It's not hard. 

Any vegetarian will tell you - just cook extra vegies and keep the meat away from them.

I often have a 'Clayton's' Roast - just vegies, no meat.  Gravox is not meat derived so is ok for vegetarians.

We should be cutting down on meat consumption.    Too much is not good for you.

I might eat red meat once a week.  Quite happy eating just vegies.  It wasn't always so.

Protein can be sourced from lots of foods instead of meat.

A friend of mine decided to go vegetarian on moral grounds, she's   a great animal lover as am i but I still eat meat occasionally.  . 

She stayed on it for a month then became unwell and the doc told her she was badly anaemic and missing iron.

So she  went out and got the biggest T Bone she could find

So many ppl just think it's just a case of cutting out meat from the diet but it's so important to replace the iron with the correct veggies.

Yes, iron is important.

Green leafy vegies -  i.e. spinach, silver beet etc, also,mushrooms, potatoes, and more.

All contain iron.

But there's nothing wrong with a supplement every now and then.

Who is consuming too much?

I'll have balanced meals that includes meat (me likes it) each day

The only issue I see with meat is animal farming that heavily impacts on the environment

methane gas etc etc
