Considering Vegetarianism!

[Call me Mike]

Well, here's my take....

Genesis 9:2** And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

So, it's not wrong to eat meat by any means... In fact, God gave us animals and plants both purely for our own use. He made us above them. Take out of that what you will

^ But I'm sure that God wouldn't support us taking advantage of it with greed. The way animals are treated is quite unfair, and I doubt it is the way your God wanted it to be used.

All in all, not eating meat is your choice. I personally would find it very hard to do, but if you believe you can do it, feel free. Even if you don't like it, you can always go back to eating meat later. As for any help I can offer, I sadly can't. :/

No no; there are a few types actually
Some vegans just don't eat meat, but eat fish and eggs.
And the other way around, a combination of those few... etc

Wrong. For one thing, Vegan's dont eat any meat wether it is white meat or red i.e. no fish and no chicken, as well as any off product from an animal such as cheese, milk, e.t.c.

Also Vegetarians dont eat any animals. The people who only eat white meat i.e. Most Poultry and fish are called Pescetarians.

It's your choice, nothing we can do to influence it, really. It comes down to what you like more - eating meat or knowing you're sparing one animal's life? Personally, I think that animal is going to die regardless, so you might as well enjoy it. And this is coming from someone who loves animals. I also think you're being pressured by your girlfriend, aren't you?

On a side note, I was going to look into buying Quorn until I read this:

Quorn is the leading brand of mycoprotein food product in the UK and Ireland.[1] The mycoprotein used to produce Quorn is extracted from a fungus, Fusarium venenatum, which is grown in large vats.

I don't mind how Quorn is done, I really have no problem with that.

And I'm really not being pressured into this by my girlfriend. I've wanted to do this a long time before I was with my girlfriend and I think it's the best thing for me to do now. My decision's been made.

just to point out to stuffs, all that it is basicaly saying in simple terms is Quorn is made from mushrooms, plain and simple

Oh, I know that. I should have explained, I dislike mushrooms. And calling it fungus, just makes me dislike it even more haha.

Just to let people know. There's four types of vegetarianism.

Ovo - eats eggs
lacto - eats dairy products
Pesco - eats fish
Vegan - none of the above.

Some people are a mix of these.
