How do you respond to derogatory comments about vegetarianism?
Q. Obviously mostly coming from people who know nothing about the diet and its benefits. These are comments I hear on a daily basis from friends and family: "Vegetarianism is bad for the environment because it leads to overpopulation of animals." "How can you not eat meat? I could never give up meat, it tastes too good. You're probably going to get sick from lack of protein." "Vegetarianism is stupid and unnatural, we have canine teeth for a reason." How would you respond to any of these? I've tried the just leaving it go, but after awhile I just get sick of the comments.

Why is vegetarianism generally considered a diet, while veganism is considered a lifestyle?
Q. I noticed that not only does wikipedia have them marked like that, but most people consider veganism a lifestyle choice and vegetarianism just a dietary choice. Is there any distinction, or is this a matter of diction?

A. From what I've learned here, vegans are vegetarians whose views about human-animal relationship involve more than the former eating (or not eating) the latter "Vegetarian" is a simple word description of someone who does not eat meat (including poultry and fish/seafood) and slaughter by products such as gelatin etc. A vegan is a lifestyle that includes vegetarianism PLUS some other principles involving, as I've said, the human-animal relationship. For example, a butcher who kills and processes hundreds of animals a day is still a vegetarian if he/she does not eat any of his own product. A vegan (probably) won't even consider working in a slaughterhouse much less kill the animals her/himself. Personal reasons, moral, health, religion etc,… [cont.]

A. It is definitely better for the environment to be a vegetarian. Yes, you're eating plants. But, before a cow gets eaten, what does it eat? Plants. And it has to eat plants all its life to convert them into the muscle tissue that people eat. I've read the statistic that a cow must eat 16 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of flesh. So, you can actually SAVE 16 times as many plants by just eating plants in the first place. Also, eating meat wastes more water. You must water and raise the veggies to eat them, yes. But, to raise a cow, you must water and raise veggies to feed them before you can eat them, while watering the cow itself.

A. Try not to be to preachy about it, but if the opportunity arises, definitely go for it. You could ask your local library if you could host a seminar on vegetarian nutrition for interested teens and their parents, or you could hold an all-veg bake sale. You may want to search the web for positive ideas, but stay away from PETA. There's nothing positive about protesting your local KFC.

Vegan cooking is not much different than Standard cooking. For example if you like Tacos then substitute Boca Crumbles for the ground beef. You can make Sloppy Joes and Chili the same way. You can eat spaghetti just substitute Marinara for the meat sauce. If you are worried about protein you can make a fruit smoothie out of soy milk and put a scoop of soy protein powder in it.

A. Well I don't think there is that much more that you have to look for. When you're eating at a Mexican place, ask about whether the beans are cooked with bacon/meat stock and whether the tortillas and chips are made with lard. Same goes for many American-style restaurants - french fries and veggie burgers may be cooked in animal fat, and vegetable chilli and soup may be made with beef stock. Whenever you're at a restaurant and considering ordering soup, ask whether the stock used meat. It's always a good idea to ask "Is this vegetarian?" before you order a meal, because sometimes vegetables are cooked with some chicken broth or things like that.

Children are actually taught to eat meat so I think it's a good thing he wants/is naturally leaning towards a vegetarian diet. I think it would be cruel to force him to eat meat so stick to a veg one... provided you do it right, he will grow up into a much healthier person.

A. I can respect other people's choice to go vegetarian, but, I never will. My dogs and cats eat meat, so do I. We also aren't the only creature to farm other animals for animal products. Ants for instance, farm and milk aphids. It comes down to respect for other people's beliefs. Peta subtly is trying to make it impossible for those of us that still want to eat meat to do so. They pass legislation that looks like it's good for the animals, but, it has no leeway to make it possible for farmers to still grow animals without most of them dying. For instance, the complete gestation/farrowing crate ban in Florida. I understand limiting the amount of time a sow can be in one, that makes sense. But, banning them entirely means the sow crushes her… [cont.]

A. I can respect other people's choice to go vegetarian, but, I never will. My dogs and cats eat meat, so do I. We also aren't the only creature to farm other animals for animal products. Ants for instance, farm and milk aphids. It comes down to respect for other people's beliefs. Peta subtly is trying to make it impossible for those of us that still want to eat meat to do so. They pass legislation that looks like it's good for the animals, but, it has no leeway to make it possible for farmers to still grow animals without most of them dying. For instance, the complete gestation/farrowing crate ban in Florida. I understand limiting the amount of time a sow can be in one, that makes sense. But, banning them entirely means the sow crushes her… [cont.]

Is there any link between vegetarianism and aggresion?
Q. I've found that I am more easily aggravated and wound up by people of late and the only thing I can think that has changed in my life is that I stopped eating meat about six months ago. Has anyone else had a similar experience and is there any way (other than eating meat!) that this can be stemmed? I'd also be interested into whether there've been any formal trials and/or investigations into this. This is a serious question please don t turn into a debate about eating meat or not, I m not particularly interested. Cheers. just wanted to clear up that the word "aggresion" may have been a bit strong, it was just a key word, it's more than i am occasionally more easily annoyed by people and would get grumpy, particularly when hungry weee..

A. Red meat is an important source of iron and if you are not making up for it in other ways, this can lead to an iron deficiency. "Research shows that among adolescent males, iron deficiency is directly associated with aggressive behavior. Furthermore, one study found that iron deficiency was nearly twice as prevalent in a group of incarcerated adolescents as among their non- incarcerated peers. Werbach says animal studies indicate that iron deficiency may cause behavioral impairment by diminishing dopamine transmission"
