That's it. I think there are plenty of sane veggies on Dave's and now we prove it. You may add details in your post, but they are not required. But make a post so we know who you are. Stand proud on either side of the fence--we all love mashed potatoes.

For the record:

Honey, Milk, Eggs=Not meat.

Fishy stuff=Meat.


Begin.

Meat!

I was vegetarian for several months when I was 16, and then for three years between the ages of 19 and 22. At one point I even seriously started considering veganism, but realised that I can't live without cheese.

I started eating meat again shortly after the start of my second year in Korea. The vegetarianism had started to feel like it was taking over my life, and it was making me miserable. I was also losing a lot of weight. This was mostly related to my social life - I just wasn't interested in doing the shopping/cooking thing at the time, and I just couldn't make anything that tasted decent with Korean ingredients. Meeting friends for dinner every day was a lot more fun, even though the kalbijip doenjang and rice had gotten old long before.

It wasn't easy starting to eat meat again though. I had to ease myself back in with high quality (what felt 'clean') meat. It took me about a month before I was able to eat crap like sausages again.

Now I don't think about it much anymore. I like eating meat, and I think there are bigger problems to be worrying about.

Crapheads who haven't stated who they are. Get on it.

Remember, we are trying to prove there are normal veggies here. So far we have one normal meatie and one freakie meatie.

Hehehe...many a night I wolfed down succulent chunks of pork while GAJ watched on and savoured his...well...rice!!!

I knew you were breaking when you started accepting the little bits of ham in your Bokum-bap. Even after carefully asking for no meat. Those restaurant ajumma's were right!! You should go to all those restaurants and apologize for asking them to change their bokum-bap and for being a silly-billy.

I'm a veggie, been so for 7 years. Never been a problem for me, in fact I lost 10 pounds and kept it off. Love being veggie in Korea. I like cooking. Blah blah. None of the vegetarians I know or have ever known are the wan, sickly, annoyingly fanatical people that I hear people go on about. I knew plenty of stick-thin fucktards in college though -- they all ate meat. Most of them were in my Japanese drama class.

I'm the_beaver and I eat the flesh of animals all the time. The number one reason I do so is because, by and large, the fruit and vegetable groups (with the exceptions of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and one or two others) really are not that appealing on the palate or between the teeth.

A 'lessetarian'. I eat meat, but I try to eat less. I don't have meat at breakfast, and I try to not make it the core of the dinner.

I barely ever eat meat. Usually only what is provided for my school lunches and when I go out with people. Obviously, I do it for health reasons. If meat is put infront of me, whatever, I'll eat some, but I don't gorge on it. And just a big ass steak is not a meal to me. I barely eat any though, heart problems in the family.

Just what I do.

I eat meat, but like a couple of others here, don't eat that much of it. I never cook red meat at home - just poultry and fish. I like Korean dishes which are heavy on veggies w/ a little meat, like deulsot bibimbap. I make an exception for a good jae yuk dop bap.

i love meat. meat rocks. vegetables are cool for making your dish more colorful, and bread is nice for keeping your fingers clean when eating a sandwhich or hamburger, but nothing compares to meat.
