Would you rather never be able to eat meat or never be able to eat vegetables?

I only eat chicken, turkey and fish but I can without them if I had no choice. Besides, vegetables are far more nutritious for the body. What's your pick and why?

If I had to choose, I would rather go without meat than without vegetables. Lots of people do live without meat, and I often make vegetarian meals. However, eliminating vegetables takes all the flavor out of everything. It also takes a huge portion of the nutrients away.

Before I can answer, does the vegetables include things that are made from vegetables? Like bread being made from grain, or potato chips?

That's a very good point.

Yes - vegetables and things made from vegetables.

So no bread ever again? That also means no sweets, no fruit, no chips, no cereal, no waffles, no grits, no gumbo, and no soup just to name a couple things. As they all have things made from either grain, are directly from vegetables, or have vegetables in them.

So the choice is a plain beef patty, plain porkchop, or plain turkey and absolutely nothing else.
Or give up meat and be able to enjoy everything else foodwise that the world has to offer?

I love meat, but if those are my only options, I would have to go vegetarian.

I have tried to make the conversion to full vegetarian but to be honest, I like chicken and turkey too much. I can already live without the rest but I don't mind giving up chicken and turkey in this instance.
