Vegetarians in the group?

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone else was a non meat-eater in the after-35 group? I have not eaten meat in many years. I eat organic dairy products, organic cage-free vegetarian-fed eggs, wild alaskan salmon, and a select other seafood items, just no chicken, beef or pork products.

Just wondering if anyone else was out there :-)

Hi, Nikki.

Ovo-lacto vegetarian here!

I've been a veg since age 15, so that's 24.5 years. (good grief! how did that happen?)

Me! I was lacto-ovo for years but started eating fish a few years ago.

I stopped eating soy when I found out how it can affect IF so it can be hard to get enough protein

I am a vegetarian - have been since 2001.  You are not really considered a vegetarian if you eat seafood. Anything with a face...

I am not a vegetarian, but it sounds like you have a really healthy diet!

Didn't mean to offend! I don't really fit into a 'perfect' vegetarian category with my occasional consumption of salmon or tuna, and I'm ok with that! It just would have looked a little funny to post "Any non-chicken, beef, or pork eaters in the group?" :-)

You didn't offend me. I just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks!
