How to become a vegetarian safely?

[FrostedNipple]

Basically, meat costs LOADS! I have decided to stop buying it and get more beer instead, because although still expensive, it is a necessary.

I've heard of this cult/religion that don't eat meat out of principal, i believe they call themselves vegetarians. I have also heard however, that they are often scrawny and ugly.

Is there a safe way to remove meat from your diet that doesn't include the side effects?



In all seriousness though, what vitamins and minerals will i be missing out on?

Don't be a bloody pansy. You need red meat or else you'll turn into a wuss.

Red Meat = +1 Alpha Maleness

None, all can be gotten without eating meat in todays age.

Don't get me wrong, when I'm home i will be demanding all the red meat i can from mum when she goes shopping. But I'm pretty sure beer > meat in terms of man points!

You do realise that if you stop eating meat the police will soon be knocking on your door.

Just eat chicken. It really isn't that expensive.

If you want to be a scrawny ugly weakling, stop eating meat

Turkey is even cheaper, really nice and better for you (well, slightly).

get a whole chicken and that will last you days, get loads of meals out of it and still enough for a few cans

I for one would be utterly lost with a whole chicken.

You have a bird with some meat on it. Cook it, eat the meat and freeze what you don't use if need be - it's really not that tricky.

I have been a vegetarian for years and its not that bad. I just eat like I would if I was a meat eater but replace meat with quorn(well cheapo asda type quorn mostly). I just take a vitamin tablet a day and I am fine.

Same here, then make Lobby with the carcass.

I'd rather go without alcohol than meat

Whole chicken, sausages, tescos cheaper bacon. Look for deals too.

You'll end up eating a wider variety of vegetables than you do now and you'll get all smelly because of it.

It's easy. Just roast the bugger and eat that. When you've eaten a meal's worth, tear the rest to bits. Get stuck in with a decent knife and you'll get loads of meat off it. All the meat off it can then be used for other meals - risotto, curry, stir fry, etc. Boil the carcass to make some stock and then use that as a base for soup. That should be well on the way to 3 or 4 meals right there.
