I enjoy the taste of meat, and I generally have at two meals a day that involve meat in some way. I used to eat so much meat compared to so little of anything else that my friends used to joke that I was an obligate carnivore. However, these days I have a harder time enjoying meat unless it's paired with other flavors and textures. Vegetables cooked such that they retain their crunchiness have lately become my favorite way to round off a dish.
I have to confess that I don't like many fruits. I dislike sweet things, so the few fruits I do like are either starchy--bananas and apples--or rather sour--like pomegranate.

My tastebuds usually don't have a problem with meat (just ham for some reason). I tend to eat meat with at least every meal(breakfest, lunch, dinner). However I do need variety in my meals, because if I eat nothing but meat I tend to lose the flavor. Thus I always try to have a vegetable or fruit to go along with my meals.
I always have a fruit for breakfest (usually grapefruit) and lunch and I always have a vegetable and a side of pasta with my dinner. However I find that I can't stand eating vegetable raw aside from carrots. The texture just irritates me for some reason and at times if I eat something like lettuce without dressing or bananas I can get an itching sensation on my back. Never could figure out why I have this problem and it personally sucks since I love bananas.

We agree it is human nature to be omnivorous, and from there it is an easy conclusion to make that an omnivorous diet is healthiest. Animals evolve to eat certain types of foods. These natural preferences exist because they satisfy our/the animal in question's nutritional needs. With this in mind, our ancestral diet is preferential to any alternative. |

Then again, if you meet certain fictional characters, being a vegetarian might actually be pretty healthy... and I really should kill this God Child mood of mine. Damn it. xD

I don't eat every sort of it.
I eat things like chicken, but I don't eat pig, beef, sheep and so on. Just the animals that have wings. Most of the animals are slaughtered so brutally here in Germany, you nearly have to puke when you hear them screaming or see HOW they are slaughtered. |

i just got a quick bite at Mc Donalds, and my Double cheese burger had little garlic bits all over it, so i took it back and told them "How do you get Garlic from "DOUBLE CHEESE BURGER PLAIN"
I even said "Cheese only".. seriously thank god all the low IQ morons work at Mc Donalds, I'd be afraid if they worked at anything better.

Also, I can't personally vouch for the workers at your McDonald's, but getting your order wrong doesn't mean they are necessarily stupid. Most food industry places work at a very fast pace, so order mix-ups are to be expected, and maybe it wouldn't hurt to be a little less scathing in your reproach of others, whether they work at a fast food joint or not.

But I am in agreement with ChainLegacy. An omnivorous diet, when done right, is definitely healthy. To answer this thread's topic, I eat some meat now after being a vegetarian for about six years. I stopped eating it for a handful of reasons, but the biggest one was because, yes, I do feel sorry for the cows that get beaten up on the way to the slaughterhouse. I've also just never had much of a taste for meat; I only eat it about 1-2 times per week, and I very rarely eat pork or beef. I still think the meat industry has a lot of issues and factory farms are nothing short of repulsive, and I still feel sorry for the pigs and birds and cows, but it doesn't stop me from eating them on occasion. I might do it again someday, though. It's a healthy diet (again, when done right -- being a vegetarian means more than scraping the meat off your plate) and it also means I don't have to mess with cooking it. I went vegan with a friend a few years ago just to see how long we could last, and I don't think I could live for longer than a few months on that diet. It was painful, and anyone who says they like soy cheese is lying. Maybe I just don't have the dedication. Last edited by blue skies; 2009-12-03 at 22:09. Reason: i can't spell |

The food pyramid, despite seeming official, is pretty inaccurate from a biological viewpoint. For instance it includes dairy as a 'requirement' which is obviously untrue for human beings. Grains are tolerated differently by different individuals, but the food pyramid has us believing we all need a grain-centric diet. Personally, I can't tolerate any grains without putting on weight. I could go on but my friend and longtime fitness trainer has written an excellent article on his website about it. If anyone is skeptical, check it out, he cites dozens and dozens of experts and well-researched, informative reading materials.

Gluten Free food is very horrible! At my job, we have to taste these foods before we consider adding them as option's for the patient's diet, and that stuff tasted like organic cardboard. I have never seen food that looked so good to the eye's, but taste so bad.
On another note, Soy milk... I just had that today, and it taste's very good. I had no idea i was missing something so good.
