I eat meat nigh on every day, but today I had spinach and ricotta cannelloni. By your logic that means I'm a vegetarian? Now, do I need any special training to get my holier-than-thou preach on?

I'll post again to respond to your edited comment, who's got a holier than thou preach on? Not me, you eat what you want, i've never preached on these forums or anywhere else about people eating meat, it's a purely personal choice imo.

Do you eat pigs and chickens? If so, they live terrible lives, and have horrible deaths, so if youre against one thing thats cruel surely you should start thinking about everything you pay for?

But then I did used to say things like "i only buy free range eggs" not knowing that label is for the consumer, it means very little to the chickens, and means nothing to the baby male chicks ground up alive.

Organic eggs and chickens have higher quality of life than free range ones for what it's worth

I don't agree. If someone is on a diet, say a low carb diet, they then very occasionally have a high carb meal, are they then no longer considered as being on a diet? Of course they are. We all have our own set of principles and rules we live by but we are not perfect and sometimes deviate. If you considered every veggie who has consumed meat within the last 6 or 12 months not to be veggie then that would drastically reduce the number of veggies in the world. I last consumed meat (chicken) at Xmas, so am I a veggie?

Vegetarianism is a lifestyle not a diet. It's a belief principle too.

In your case I'd suggest you follow a vegetarian lifestyle most of the time but you are not a vegetarian in principle. If you believed your principles enough you would never eat meat.

To me when i state i'm vegetarian it means i don't want to eat meat as i believe that reduces an animals suffering, nothing more. i don't know what the vegetarian lifestyle is beyond not eating meat. i can't always stick to it because i guess my willpower isn't always strong enough. i'm ok with you guys not considering me a vegetarian. i don't really care as it's not like it's something i strive to belong to, i could just as easily say i try not to eat meat but that is more of a mouthful.

Stating you're vegetarian when you sometimes eat meat is like saying your monogamous except for the times you cheat on your wife.

Because i don't eat meat as a rule, but if i'm honest i very occasionally cheat, like probably many millions of other vegetarians do but they still consider themselves as veggies. You're obviously being mr.pedantic or you're autistically thinking everything is black or white.

We get it, you don't eat meat. Except for the occasions when you do eat meat.

Mate that's still awesome. If everyone dropped meat for 1-2 days per week we'd be in a far better place.

We've personally reduced our meat consumption significantly and only buy from the local butcher (we live in a small town in the countryside).

Honestly vegetarian dishes are also very good. Couldn't be vegan though, eggs are so important (I eat 3 a day for the last 10+ years!).

I've developed an allergy to eggs and it's a ******* nightmare.

As I've got older my food intolerances have multiplied. I've avoided dairy for many years now and now with the egg issue I'm eating much more vegan food and ingredients, like vegan mayonnaise or ice creams.

So I class myself as a vegan...who eats meat ;)

I avoid dairy just because I'm not a calf and don't need it.

Eggs I feel so sorry for you! I think I'd literally cry.
