I could possibly get used to this.

Eating vegetarian, that is. I am having a HUGE salad for dinner.  Greens, grape tomatoes, reduced fat shredded cheddar, sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans, hard boiled egg and reduced fat honey dijon mustard dressing.

It took all of 1 minute to throw together and I'm sitting here with a big bowl on the couch watching TV.  It's pretty much awesome.

(I gave up all meat for Lent)

Mmmmmm. I like salad. I should keep more of it around.

That being said, I couldn't give up my hamburgers

Yeah, it is not as hard as people think. I usually get shocked reactions when people find out I don't eat meat

Wouldn't the egg be considered meat or does it only count for vegans as an animal product?

I don't think I could make it as a vegetarian.  Bacon is pretty much what keeps me going.

I'm pretty sure that most vegetarians consider eggs, fish, seafood, etc. to be OK.  Definitely vegans do not.  There are some "extreme" vegetarians that say no to eggs as well.

I've been Pescatarian (only meat is fish, and that's only on occasion) off and on for a couple years and any more, I cant stand meat. Veggies are so Good!

Me too.  It's the gateway meat.

Don't get me wrong - I like to go to Wendy's and order a Number Bacon.
