Hey there, i'm new and i've got a dilemma!

Hi, i'm Cactus1966, i've been a lonely hippy for the last few years but have just got the internet and was amazed that sites like this exist! A lonely hippy no more... anyway, to my problem...
I've been a strict veggie for the past couple of years, it's cool n i know i could never go back to eating meat. The only thing is that now and again if my housemates are cooking meat n i can smell it i get a bad craving for it (n inevitably feel guilty for ages afterwards!)
Does it make me a bad veggie?
Would appreciate any views,
Peace

 

Dont be silly it doesnt make u a bad veggie - the cravings are probably purely biological -so ur body needs protein or sumthin like that. and besides its not like u ate the meat.

 

I think it makes you a very bad vegeterian..i feel there should be a list 'bad veggies' . I never crave a lovely bacon sandwich with lashings of red sauce, honest.

 

This doesnt belong in this forum - it needs to be moved.

in other news
dont worry about cravings...a bad veggie is one that actually eats meat not one that thinkgs about it

 

i'd say the opposite - its make you a good one! because although you have cravings - you don't eat the meat, thats good

 

Yeh, it makes you better that your actaully strong enough not to eat it even though you want to.

 

red sauce on a bacon sandwich???!
WHAT EVIL TWISTED PLANET ARE YOU FROM??!!!!

Someone's obviously never experienced the thrill of hunting sandwiches.

 

thought i best clarify my outburst earlier.

i'm not some carnivorous maniac

hehe i like that

 

Good choice, sir, very good choice!

For the original poster - of couuuurse it doesn't make you a bad veggie, unless you quit meat because you don't like the taste of meat - then it makes you a daft veggie and you may as well be tucking into that bacon sandwich! I gave up because of unethical standards and general cruelty to animals, it doesn't mean that secretly I think some of it tastes quite nice...*shhh!* That's what substitute products are there for - pretend bacon and stuff. I tend to not eat that anyway because there are more interesting things around!

 

Just give in mate, its easier

 

i wouldent worry whats a good veggie ......whats a bad veggie ........do what makes you happy .but i would check out what protiens your getting in your diet......ive been a veggie now for 25years and it took me a while to get a good balance but you will get it sorted if you want to if you dont then thats cool to ..just go wuth what makes you happy

 

i think it makes you a good veggie. if you get a craving for meat, yet still refuse to eat it, it shows you are a true veggie **nods**
