by VS Angel aka Mrs. Stealth Intelligence on October 17th, 2008
Almost my entire life.
My family eats meat, so I grew up with it but I would hide it and throw it away (pretending to eat it).
Veggies taste better and are kinder and healthier.

Yes, for 27 years now.
by I Are Yogi Bear on August 30th, 2008
Yeah, since I was 10. I'm 20 now. My reason is that I think as a species as "advanced" as ours i.e. having computers and factories and stuff, that we can easily eat other things to get the nutrients we eat meat for, so we don't have to resort to killing. Other animals that are predators are not as developed in this way (I don't like thinking humans are superior), so they can't do this.
by shawnyshawna on August 29th, 2008
Yes...since 1999.

I've been a vegetarian for coming on 21 years now. I was raised that way. And yes, I got plenty of protein and had no nutritional problems.

I've been a vegetarian since January 22, 2008. I remember because it was two days after my best friend's birthday--and two days after I tried sushi for the first, and last, time. I've always wanted to be vegetarian, but it wasn't until one of my coworkers said she'd become one I realized it was my chance. Before I never had any money and was forced to succumb to whatever food Mom cooked (she puts meat in everything she eats--I wish that was an exaggeration). Now I can just buy my own food. The first few months were difficult. I used to dream of eating meat and woke up panicking because the dreams were so realistic. I've grown more in tune with my body, though. I can tell when I'm hungry or just thirsty (though I love to eat), I can tell when my stomach almost refuses to digest a food (usually dairy; I'm lactose intolerant now). Subsequently I can tell when my stomach is digesting food. I don't eat both veggies and fruits every day (more often than not I'll eat veggies, beans, noodles--I don't really like fruit), so when I feel a little off, I can just look at my eating habits and tell myself what I'm missing so I can balance myself out.
I heart peanut butter cookies :D
by Anonymous on November 14th, 2008
Yes. Since i was seven.
by Stormy on November 13th, 2008
Ive been a vegetarian for teo years now. It kind of sucks not being able to eat gummy candy or starburst, but that was one of the main reasons i became an vegetarian.
To become healthier, slimmer, and thats eliminated alot of junk food.
by Didodil on November 12th, 2008
i have been a vegi for nine months now and feeling good for it. :)
by Penal Colony is wicked marrying Andy on July 29th, 2008
There was one year of my life where I could tell people "I'm a vegeterian!"
I think I was about 10, my Mom decided to put the whole family on a vegetarian/macrobiotic diet for one year as an experiment. I made some interesting discoveries, food-wise, but ultimately, we all ended up missing meat too much to stick with it. I'm really glad too... I love meat.
by Mastodon on July 28th, 2008
Nope, but I'm going to try it one day
by failed_stoic on September 29th, 2008
Vegan for 16 mo.; egg and dairy vegetarian for about 6 mo. before that. I wish I did it earlier.
by Dharma on August 2nd, 2008
I become vegeterian in summer and slighly turn back to normal diet in winter. Body needs anytype of food so we musnt stick to one type of diet.

i'm not really a meat eater although my family sometimes pressure you into eating it....
by xena-angel on July 28th, 2008
No, my physician recommended against it. I don't like meat, but I eat what I can without being sick. I cannot eat any meat if I can see the bones, viens, skin, etc.
by Joeisme333 is a pastafarian on July 28th, 2008
god no, i would hate being a vegetarian.
by Jeztyr - whispering in the ears of kings on July 28th, 2008
No, can't say that I am. If it's on a plate, I'll eat it.
by TjoeBaxter is Hot Yo on February 9th, 2009
I think it has been 4 or 5 months:):) But I am the vegetarian that still eats eggs and drinks milk:( I am not totally animal free:( I feel bad about that, but I do not eat chickens, beef, cattle, goat, veil, seafood(although I just love scallops and mussles)..it is really hard for me:):) But I consider it fasting for the people who do not:):) Just one small change works..sometimes:):)
by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on February 6th, 2009

by Lauren on January 9th, 2009
Yup, i'm 17 and i've been a vegetarian for about 6 years, and a on again off again vegan.
by jacyschroeder on October 23rd, 2008
No, but when I was about 10-11 I had refused to eat meat. I love filet mignon etc. Nevertheless, sometimes when I eat meat that has a lot of fat, I get rather grossed out and think about the fact that I am eating an animal and can't eat. I can't eat at certain restaurants, especially Mexican (although I like Mexican food) when I think about how they use the same grill to cook tongue, brains, etc. I think about becoming a vegetarian, but I am afraid of not getting enough protein in my diet and the inconvenience of it is enough to not go through with it.
by Thundercleese on October 22nd, 2008
No
by Nick A Balloon on November 1st, 2009
Yep, for 3 years and 6 months.
by pouncey on August 28th, 2009

by adamjohnson on February 11th, 2009
yeah, about 10years, not really been counting lol
by InGod'dHands on January 5th, 2009
People who don't know about the benefits of being a vegetarian or vegan versus eating meat, don't realize that if intelligently informed, you look better, younger and feel better. I read where someone had a concern about lack of protein if they didn't eat meat, but they are so wrong! You go back in history and find that the practice of eating meat began after the flood. The Bible states that God allowed it to shorten the days of human beings. Before the flood, people lived up to close to 1000 years. Methusalem lived the longest and Adam lived closed to 1000 years also. After the flood, the days of mankind were shortened extremely considerably.
by DudeLer 2 on November 15th, 2008

by gonefishing on February 6th, 2009
I tried to be one when I was a few years younger.
Was eating only veggies and soy food. But somehow after being 2 years a vegetarian and marrying my wife who is such a good cook I realized one day that I am eating fish
and meat almost every week again..
