Finally someone that like that word, meaters dont like it to much They dont like to be put in a box, well I think that they put us in a box so then we should do the same to them, hahaha:)

while at least the meat industry is regulated to avoid or keep to the minimum such practices.

I see where you're coming from but the meat industry really isn't properly regulated at all in terms of animal cruelty in the vast majority of countries and even when it is the "acceptable" standards within the law are still down right abusive.

Podge was eating meat when we got together after years of vegetarianism in an effort to put a few pounds on (he's got a teenage girly arse) and fairly swiftly got back into it with me although I had to struggle alone on the path to puritanical veganism over the last few years now the doctor told him his has to go vegan for his heart muhahaha cosmic justice I love it! Now I can nag him bout eating nearly everything thats bad for him and be like well the doctor says so too it's not just me it's great! (he's always saying that I'm just an extremo-nutritionist type and take the healthy eating thang too far)

"meater" is now my new favourite word, and I'm making it my goal for the day to use it in a conversation!

That is so cool, good that some of the words that I have taken with me from Norway will adapt in this country

PurplePossum

Well if we are veggies, it makes sense that they are meaters. I will try to adopt it into my lingo!

Anyway other than her I have been dating only meaters and the part that I have been a vegetarian have been a problem in almost every one of my relationships

Really? Do you mind me asking how it was a problem?
Like I said, I went out with a vegetable phobic farmer. And it was never an issue.

Oooh old thread. I suppose I would prefer going out with a veggie, because it was nice, handy, common etc but I doubt that would ever stop me if I liked somebody. It is something I would be very attracted to though, but so are a lot of traits.
Luckily most are girls. :-p

See the thing about you Tara, is that you like meat.
Would you be tempted over to darkside, if someone had it around you all the time?

Tar.Aldarion

Like meat...no...Love meat...yes!

Nope I wouldn't think I would revert, maybe others would. As happened with the guy you were talking about. I won't do things I don't agree with. I'm ridiculously steadfast in my ethics, ie stubborn fool.
Seems to happen the opposite way around me, nearly all my childhood friends are vegetarians/vegans now. Just 2 friends that I hang out with are not, and one has been talking about becoming vegetarian now. We iz plague! Dunno about a partner though as I tend to like strong willed ones, so maybe no converting there.

Hhmm my veggie sister has been talking about not seeing herself as a veggie forever.
The boyfriend isn't veggie, and it would handy if they ate the same apparently.
She has even tried chicken because he wanted her to. :eek::eek::eek::eek:


I hear you on the strong willed. People who try to control or influence me or others. Bug the bejasus out of me.
So I doubt anyone I would get along with enough to go out with, would be interested in moulding moi.

Tar.Aldarion

It might depend on why the person became veggie etc, I would have strong moral objections, moreso than most veggies I'd say. She never tried chicken before? Was she veggie from very young?
Although it is handy to eat the same, I would like to come up with something you can both eat when cooking or just have your own meals, because then you always have what you want, oh yeahhhhh. Relationships are where I have seen most people change what they eat, so i'd say it does have an affect all right.

This is the thing, She is a veggie because she is a real animal lover type.
I think chicken came into it because it was there at the time.
I actually was too busy going :eek: to ask.

Tar.Aldarion

I iz animal lover too, had a kitten sleeping on me there.
I'm surprised she tried it but her partner would have a big sway over her, love and all that jazz. If she wants to, she wants to. I've known one person to go back only.

Yes she can do what she wants......but eeuuww!

I just had the first potatos, from what has been renamed the veggie patch.
(After seeing the garden in Khrystna land)

~sighs contentedly~

Tar.Aldarion

What what, gimme! I can't wait to start my own veggie patch one day, a friend wants to do it with me too. My own paul brand potatoes, ooooh yaa.

Podge just gave me Cornacopia's cookbook for our five year anniversary I'm very pleased! Definately reccomend it for anyone who hasn't got it already, not a vast quantity of recipes but very enjoyable to read the bits of waffle in between

Tar.Aldarion

Congrats on anniversary, today is it? I have read a good bit of it, although at somebodies house, I don't have it. I really enjoy reading the story more than the recipes.
