I just had a salad, it was nice (I really enjoyed it) but I don't think i could eat what is essentially grass for more than a day. The health benefits of rabbit food are great and a large salad has less calories than a can of coke but it's the blandness that kills me, i need MEAT!
Vegetarians, how do you do it? Do you ever long for tender juicy lamb or some other tasty meat? Does the smell of bacon or sausages in the morning drive you nuts? Do you go weak at the knees when someone tucks into a massive hamburger or fried chicken or fish infront of you?
Meat-eaters, could you go vegetarian for a week without jumping out a window? Could you go into a fast food restaurant and order a salad? share your thoughts.

I'd go crazy without meat for a week.
As to how vegetarians do it, they're obviously insane. It's the only way.

vegetarian food does not mean salad cause the nutritional value of that is often close to zero. potatoes, pasta, rice, awesome sauces.. you get the idea

We wouldn't have canine teeth is we were meant to be herbivores.
God/Evolution (delete according to religious viewpoint) made us capable of digesting both plant and animal matter - we've just got to the point where we can replace the nutrients lost by avoiding meat from other sources.
Therefore: Vegitarianism can be a lifestyle choice made for whatever reason (be it a dislike of animal cruelty or the misguided idea that it's "healthier")

Vegetarians normally are repulsed by meat for a number of reasons, this is how they get by...
As for if I could live with one, I could aslong as he could live with me .

Your problem is assuming that vegetarian food is all salads and further assuming that eating lots of salads would be healthy. A normal salad contains very little nutrition. I've been vegan for years and my diet consists mostly of potatoes, bread, random vegetables and soya products.
To answer your questions, no. I don't mind people eating meat around me but I don't feel like I want it or anything like that. To tell you the truth, I find the smell of chicken makes me feel kind of sick now.

Health benefits of rabbit food?
You can have a perfectly healthy lifestyle and still eat meat, it's all about making balanced choices, not about restricting yourself to vegetarian food.
With that said, no I couldn't go vegetarian for a week. Mainly because there's no reason to, from my point of view. (unless you are against animal cruelty, or something like that)

Being a vegetarian is like being a *******. All teenage girls go through that phase but in the end they all turn back to meat.
And to anwser your question, i could go a week or more without eating meat. However i would feel like a right tool going into a fast food resturant only to order a salad and nothing else. |

As much as I love meat I do like a good salad and with Heinz Salad Creme there's all the added flavour you could want.
Hmmm. French stick with a nice salad filling and lots of Salad Creme.

I don't generally eat meat. I don't really call myself "vegetarian" because I'm not hardcore about it and I dislike dogmas, though I've found out that when dealing with other people it's usually easier to simply say I am vegetarian instead of having to explain myself.
The rare times I do eat meat nowadays is usually bacon (yummy) or Jam=n (only top-quality though, otherwise it tastes too much like generic meat for my liking). I don't experience "cravings" for meat, but then I never was a fan of it: I don't like the taste of most meats, and I have to admit I feel somewhat repulsed by it.
And besides all that, I just don't digest meat well. Once in a blue moon I go and indulge myself to an orgy of Tony Roma's ribs, knowing full well that for the next five hours I'm going to feel like sh*t in a near-catatonic state unable to do anything much while my body deals with the aftermath.
Sometimes I do wish I liked and could digest meat. Like when I see a deliciously looking serving of fried chicken, or when I smell someone grilling prime cuts of meat. But if I go ahead and try it, after the superficial taste of the fried crust or the grill I get the raw flavour of the chicken / meat behind it and I have to put it aside. On the other hand, I do like the taste of lamb, particularly the sort we have here in Spain: lechazo, which is baby lamb who's never eaten grass, just milk from its mother (I just don't digest it well and I find myself having to fight the mild repulsion I feel towards it).
Anyway, yes, eating just rabbit food is not going to make you feel satiated, but there's so much more to vegetarian cooking. Dairy products and eggs can supply you with animal fat (as well as protein) which can contribute to the meat-like satiated feeling, and besides a large selection of veggies (pumpkin, sweat potatoes and zuchinni are my faves) as well as rice, pasta and noodles, I'm a big fan in particular of any sort of beans. All those can fill you up very satisfyingly and can be prepared to be deliciously tasty.
I also like hot spicy flavours, and I'm quite generous when it comes to using curry in my cooking, or going to Indian / Pakistani restaurants (which usually have a large selection of vegetarian dishes and can give you many ideas to try at home). Tip: curry paste + coconut milk + natural yoghurt = epic win.

Was forced to be vegetarian till I was 10 by a zealous vegetarian (aka father), then never looked back.
Only, the ONLY reason I would have to go back to being a vegetarian is because of what Einsten (I think it was) that pointed out that less energy was spent on land by being vegtarian as opposed to the same land being used to feed animals.
Basicly, Vegetarian is theoreticly cheaper but I haven't checked the numbers.

We are omnivores so where supposed to eat both so thats exactly what i do, same with chimps they kill and east small monkey's but they don't mind eating fruit either,being a vegetarian is therefore unnatural.
and whoever said that being a vegetarian was a phase that all teenage girls go through, you couldn't be more right i think it more of an attention thing in that case.

this thread is making me hungry, im gonna go wrangle up some beef jerky, and no i could not go vegan, the only reason meat tastes good to humans is because out bodies associate the taste of meat with alot of nutrients that we need to survive

There's actually not that much meat in hotdogs. Watched a news report once where they analyzed the contents of an average street hotdog and it only had about 14% "real" meat. The rest as some sort of cereal, throwaway crap from animal carcasses, things like that.

More fun with street hotdogs and burgers: my uncle has a butchery (as well as a slaughterhouse), and my grandfather used to go visit my cousin sometimes while he worked.
He told me he noticed that while working on a cow carcass to chop all the good parts out if it, my cousin would put all the crap they wouldn't dare show customers in a separate pile (not even offal - which some people do eat), but once he was finished he would pack up this pile instead of throwing it away.
My grandfather asked him why he just didn't throw it away, and my cousin replied that some guy from the city came regularly and bought it to make hotdogs and/or burgers with.
