Got really tedious. If someone wants to be vegetarian then fine but I choose not to be.

And what about all the animals that died getting those vegetables onto the plate?

Widdle animals but animals none the less ...

Why is it tho, that even if a vegetarian doesn't really broadcast their opinions, everyone else always has something to say when they find it out

Do you eat fish? What about fish that died naturally? Do you wear leather? Etc Etc - equally tedious :)

I dont, aside from discussing it on here I dont care what people eat to be honest. But I have had looks of horror and disgust on a couple of occasions because I have eaten meat.

What people eat is up to them, I have had comments from my husbands friends in the UK (Muslim) for eating pork.

But otherwise (in real life) I would not dream of challenging anyone about the fact that they dont eat meat.

Because it's fun to mock the deluded? ;)

Sorry Cheetah - not aimed at you personally, just a general comment so I hope I didn't offend as it wasn't meant that way :)

All I've had today is two cups of coffee. Haven't made the time to have anything and have as much interest in eating as I do in giving birth to be honest. Am doing Spag Bol for dinner though.

Lunch - A large pile of bacon and spinach cooked in 100% animal fat with some Tabasco Sauce and Cayenne Pepper all mixed into some leafy greens

Dinner - A minced beef concoction cooked in coconut oil with some non-starchy veggies and salad on the side.

My nutrition is at least 65% Fat and no more than 15% Carbohydrate by calories. No grains, no legumes, minimal sugar, minimal processed food.

Too much information? OK. :D

Losing a heap of weight too with minimal exercise ;)

Nuts to the Food Pyramid, that's a crock.

So the bacon is nitrate free and the cream is organic?

Of course :unsure: :D

Would spinach and strawberries from my own fair garden help even the score?

Ah nuts to it, I look better naked, that's all that matters ;)

Got a drive-thru McDs:o for the kids, while driving between house viewings. Ordered a cheeseburger with nothing on it for the boy. All well and good until I'm on the freeway and I hear a 'nooooooooo, there's nothing in it'

Yup, he'd been given a cheeseburger with nothing in it. Just a plain bap:blink::lol:

They owe him apparently:rofl:
