killamch89 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 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. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Before I can answer, does the vegetables include things that are made from vegetables? Like bread being made from grain, or potato chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good point. 7 hours ago, The Blackangel said: Before I can answer, does the vegetables include things that are made from vegetables? Like bread being made from grain, or potato chips? Yes - vegetables and things made from vegetables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already live without the rest but I don't mind giving up chicken and turkey in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
