Moderation is key. I am a vegetarian... predominantly. I have no problem with dairy products, eggs and occasionally even fish, as long as they are cultivated/caught according the conditions. I shun meat (almost) entirely, as in; I do eat chicken soup, vegetable soup with them minced beef balls and in the winter i do eat hotchpotch with sausages and bacon. The purists among you will probably still call me a genuine carnivore.
I am a carnivore. If you would take away my meat, I would probably have to jump off a cliff to end my life. I do pay extra money for more ethical products, though (the fact that these usually taste better also helps).
I am an omnivore but sometimes I question myself. I love meat, it is probably the most delicious food group. But, is the taste worth the suffering inflicted to get it ? I think not. I try and ethically source the meat I buy, I understand that in the greater scheme of things everything dies for the continuation of something else, I just don't think it should come at a price of pain.
I am not a vegetarian. I don't believe humans are designed to be vegetarians and it isn't natural.
However, I hardly eat meat at all. I would eat meat one meal a week and almost exclusively chicken. I will never be a vegetarian, but I am reasonably close. It is just a chore to eat red meat for me. People who are vegetarians and think they are better than meat eaters are complete tossers and wankers though.
I've been a vegetarian for a few years now because I have too much of a conscience to eat things that have been viciously killed. That being said, I don't actually have a problem with other people eating meat and I'm not one to force the idea of it onto others. I do however, have a problem with people that don't like animal cruelty / products being tested on animals but still eat meat. Those people are a mystery to me. I do still actually get ridiculed by some people for not eating meat which is kind of a bummer. And no, I don't eat fish. That would make me a vegequarian.
I don't think I'm man enough to go full vegan though. That's pretty difficult.
Also, being a vegetarian is a great excuse to eat more fruit. And fruit is fucking rad.
