Meat survey?

[Metalhead]

Are you a carnivore, or are you not a carnivore?

 

[Princess Viola]

I like seafood and chicken that counts lol.

 

[Rodafina]

Herbivorous, like a squirrel.

 

[Outdated]

Confirmed carnivore. I eat a little bit of that rabbit food stuff from time to time but this machine runs mostly on protein and caffeine.

 

[Luca]

Technically an omnivore, but meat, seafood and other proteins make up the majority of my diet.
I do eat fruit and vegetables too though.

 

[Misery]

Well that depends.

If by "meat" you mean "tuna", then yes.

If you do not mean tuna, then mostly no.

Most meat products smell bad and taste worse to me. I remember as a kid my mom used to get frustrated because I wouldnt eat the stupid hamburgers. What kind of kid refuses hamburgers? Well, the kind I was, that's what kind.

But tuna on the other hand, that's different. I will have sandwiches made of that. It is glorious. So that's my one meat product.

Well, okay, not JUST that, I will eat hotdogs, sorta... there's gotta be cheese involved and there also needs to be no effort whatsoever (I *really* hate food preparation). So, "cheese dogs", AKA hotdogs with cheese injected into them somehow. I have those every now and then. Not often though. They're kind of a pain to deal with. The packaging is made of stupid and I get irritated at it, and I'm not patient with microwaves. Not to mention that the things inexplicably cool off in like .0000002 seconds no matter how hot they get.

 

[Metalhead]

Ah, come on, we need more than meat and eggs to survive.

Tuna is definitely meat, sometimes even called "the chicken of the sea".

Cheese Kransky? It's like a Polish sausage with cheese inside it, I love those.

Yes, we also need good coffee.

 

[Kisa the tea]

I don't eat meat.

 

[Outdated]

Without modern civilisation it's very difficult to be a vegetarian. Fruits and vegetables are seasonal, special treats that you could only have at certain times of the year, meat is available all year round.

 

[Judge]

Yes, I get hungry for beef now and then.

 

[Gerontius]

I'll eat a lot of different things. Meat is fine & I rather enjoy it. Unfortunately I'm more of a reluctant eater when it comes to that. I'd just as soon not have to kill anything, because I like animals, and that's all there is to it.
Have been feeling quite guilty about eating meat but that is not an objection to meat in and of itself--but to the way that American agriculture goes about producing it, and to the way that we do not seem to really appreciate it either when it's cheap and almost "disposable."

I'm not so bothered by hunting, but there's not enough game in the woods to make hunting a perfect idea. Farming it is then.
And even in perfect circumstances I think it's still nice to maybe not eat loads and loads of meat. I'm about as happy eating vegetarian as I am eating a standard dinner.

 

[Princess Viola]

Honestly I'd eat more vegan meat substitutes if they weren't so damned expensive.

Like one of my favorite breakfast foods is sausage and I genuinely love the Morningstar Farms meatless breakfast sausage. It's really good.

It's also $4.58 at my local Walmart for a box of 10 links. Meanwhile I can get 14 Johnsonville breakfast sausages for just $3.98 ,a bit over 60 cents cheaper.

Or what about hamburgers? Beyond Burgers are pretty good, if you ask me, but they're also $16 for a box of eight 4 oz patties at Target (so 2 lb of patties) and Target's own store-brand frozen burgers is $14.69 for twelve 4 oz patties (so three pounds of patties).

That comes out to a price of $7.50/pound for the Beyond Burgers and $4.90/pound for the Target beef patties.

95% vegetarian and 5% chicken curry

 

[Progster]

About 90% vegetarian. I have difficulties tolerating the texture of meat if I don't prepare it myself. When I prepare it, it has no fat and no gristle because I can't stand the texture. I can't trust meat dishes that other people have prepared because most people aren't as fussy as I am about no fat and no gistle, so I often find bits of chewy gristle in it - disgusting.
Vegan and vegetarian alternatives have started to become popular and I often have those as they are "safe."

Gristle, striffen, chunks of fat, agreed. Can't stand those textures.
But I wouldn't want to do without meats.

 

[autism-and-autotune]

I'm a vegetarian; have been so with my fiancee for about five years now. Perhaps not so much ethically as financially because meat is darn expensive. Also we've got food anxiety.

 

[Forest Cat]

And you don't need vitamin c when you're 100% carnivore, because vitamin c is used to metabolize carbohydrates.

But won't we get scurvy if we don't eat vitamin C?

 

[Judge]

But won't we get scurvy if we don't eat vitamin C?

Nahhhh, that only happens to the Brits. Unless they get keel-hauled or hanged first.

Just ask Terence Stamp. AKA "The Limey". Or "Billy Budd".

You can, but as long as you eat a balanced diet, you really don't have to worry about deficiencies unless you have issues with your endocrine system. Like, just eat some citrus fruit and you're set. I'm not a medical professional, so don't quote me on that lol

Scurvy is one of those diseases you don't see much in the west anymore, since it's so easy to prevent.
