Ditto, and throw in the fruit and berries too. I want the whole Enchilada. I want all the different vitamins and minerals and other nutrients my body was intended to need. I will never be a pill junkie to get them either.

It wouldn't be. I ate a predominantly vegan diet for forty-three years, with a few minor departures when I was nursing my children (not enough calories from my usual fare).

Now, I'm diabetic, but still don't eat much meat. I now eat dairy, which I didn't used to do prior to becoming diabetic in 2011.

Shalom Aleichem,


Mahrie.

I could give up veggies far easier than I could give up meat

I don't eat meat all that often. It would be much more difficult for me to give up fish, seafood. I ate a vegan diet for about a year, and a strict vegetarian diet for about 5 years. I craved cheese while on the vegan diet and seafood when I was vegetarian. I got tired of wanting.

I couldn't go 100% vegan, I'd at least need to have eggs and dairy in my diet...

Since I am on a low carb diet, I mainly live on meat and vegetables.

I tried and failed to be a vegetarian numerous times. I guess I'm just hard-wired to be a meat eater.

If I had to? I can't think of any reason to be forced to go meatless, but if I had to, I'd give up meat and get on with my life. Perhaps some sort of medical reason?

If the reason I "had to" give up meat was some sort of vegan dictatorship outlawing meat, there would be an enormous black market in illegal meat. I think I might become a rum runner and make an illegal fortune. Maybe have a hamburger speakeasy.
