Any Vegetarian Aspies Out There?

Post Reply New Topic

I stopped eating meat when I was 3, at that time I realised that meat = animals and animals are my friends. I was not able to eat my friends. Now I'm vegan, because one day I realised that i can't use my friends as slaves and let them suffer because of me. It happened suddenly, before I have never thought about veganism and one day I got this mind and stopped eating all animal products.
Not sure which one i should answer, I'm not vegetarian anymore, but there is no button vegan. .. .

Yes I am a vegetarian since july 2010. I just love animals and I can't eat them anymore. And I don't really feel hungry about animal meat, because we have these days many vegetarian meat substitute and they are delicious.
I don't regret it to be a vegetarian and I'm happy about it.

I am trying to be as vegetarian/vegan as I can.

I have been vegetarian since I was 10 years old- not for any particular reason, I just one day decided that I wasn't going to eat meat any more.

I'm the way nature made me, and I don't feel guilty about it. I'm an omnivore predator, just like my hominid ancestors have been for the last two million years. Although I don't go hunting myself and instead pick up carrion in stores, so I'm actually more of a scavenger I love eating juicy body parts and gnawing on crispy corpses.

im vegan for 11 years or so and im perfectly healthy. i think everyone should decide that for themselves, but "being used to meat" or "needing it" are excuses, not actual reasons.

I'm not, but I want to become vegan

Although, I asked someone and they told me to stay away from aquariums and zoos? Noooo! One of my favorite places is the aquarium, because it's so relaxing............

I'm a vegan of 5.5 years.

Uh...that's kinda the idea of veganism...opposition to animal commodification.

I've been a vegetarian since i was 16, and vegan for long period aswell. I've always been a picky eater and mostly ate the side-dish when i was served meat as a kid, so for me the vegetarian diet fit much better. Me and my BF went vegetarian together as soon as we started making food for ourselves.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I know an aspie at my school who is.

You know, the only time I've "spotted" another woman and thought they might be Aspie was at a plant-based eating potluck I went to once.
She got seated at my table, and all the while all these flags kept going up for me about her.

I'm a vegetarian, but I must admit to craving crispy bacon when out for breakfast. sigh.

I've been vegetarian for over 5 years.

I've been vegetarian all my life. that's how I was raised and it works for me.

Although it is just habit for me I understand that for people who grew up with meat there is the danger of malnutrition, due to lack of variety. I highly recommend checking out the Green Door- a great restaurant in Ottawa that has an astounding variety of local/ seasonal/ delicious vegetarian food. yum!

I went vegetarian when I was about five years old, and have not eaten any meat or fish in almost fifteen years.
