I like a good beef once in a while(a few times a month), I love fish because it's healthy(once a week), and I'll enjoy chicken and a few others(only once in a while), but I don't like eating pigs (and no, I'm not a muslim)

So I only eat meat a couple of times each week, and if I am at a nice dinner with others...

I've spent too much time thinking about astrology lately. I thought you said that you had a retrograde sirloin.

Sun: Aries, 6th house.
Moon conjunct Venus in Gemini - and the South Node. End of the 7th/beginning of the 8th house.
Ascendant: Scorpio, conjunct Uranus.

My answer now is similar to what I said there.

I am mostly vegetarian (actually, mostly vegan) and almost never crave meat. Many, many days, my diet looks like this:

Breakfast: Dark chocolate
Lunch: Green smoothies, fruit
Dinner: Vegetable soup with brown rice pasta and fresh greens

Snack: Tortilla chips and hummus or guacamole

I need to get my blender out again. I gave up on smoothies for a while, because I was still getting sick, but I bought two green smoothie books, about a month ago. I usually feel good when I drink vegetable juice, or a smoothie, as long as it sticks with me.

^That's freakin' amazing, Faith! I could name the exact same things...! Dark chocolate (very dark, 85% cocoa) is the first thing I eat in the morning, even before I shower! Then, just some fruit. And I love guacamole and veggie soups of all kinds, and pasta as well.

Lately, to get more minerals I've started eating oatflakes and brown millet flour together with dark chocolate powder, fresh fruit (for Vitamin C), coconut flakes (for fats, to make use of the B Vitamins better) and orange juice in the late morning/lunch.

I also like Indian curries, they have great veggie and bean and chicken pea recipes.

I was just reading about fats, and how they help certain things to be absorbed into the body. I'm taking Vitamin B12, D3, and SAM-e, although I'm running out of the latter (and dealing with a very affectionate cat, who keeps rubbing his head against my hand, and the touchscreen, and deleting what I'm writing).

I was a vegetarian for about five years, starting at the age of 18. I ended up craving chicken, after the death of our Cocker Spaniel.

hahahaha Well I was not into meat when I was a kid and growing up, I am actually a late bloomer in that regard. My husband is the one that got me to start liking meat. He is big time meat lover.

Blood type O tends to love meat, they crave it.

It helps to be from Colorado or Texas as there is a lot of good meat in those areas.

Moon in Cancer in the 2nd
Ascendant in Taurus

But of course I wouldn't eat myself, nor would I eat the meat of another animal (who is basically just like *me* in more ways than I could count, with the exception of the fact that he/she was -unnecessarily/senselessly- bred to be slaughtered and put on my plate).

I'm loving Faith's diet too!

Seriously, I could go with my personal experiences and ethics (which are complex and intricate), how dietary values and politics may or may not connect to seemingly unrelated issues, and what it says about humanity as as species, the nature of existence, and any transcendental being that may or may not have created that existence (and possibly reasons why), but after pages of it, I'd end with, "Personally, I'm just not sure."

Who knows, maybe someone here can comment. I do believe there used to be a LL member like that, but it was years ago and I can barely remember it. It may have even been two (as a couple) who admired Edward in Twilight, IIRC.

And this isn't me calling hypocrisy out on it, this is me just wanting to understand. I do believe that irony and paradox are important in understanding life and the human mind. But I also believe that a "method of the madness" can be described if one tries (I've certainly done it for myself) should anyone have any observations on it.

Come to think of it, it's not just that. A surprising number of furries and such who seem to admire wolves, birds of prey, and various types of felines and felidae, and may even believe they embody the spirit of such animals (this is when it especially teases my mind), can be totally scandalized by the idea of someone hunting or killing animals, even for survival.

We used to have a LL member who talked about how empathic she was yet seemed fascinated with serial killers (at least a couple) and said she even tried summoning demons and to become a devil worshiper. I did ask her about it, but she wouldn't answer. The above thoughts reminded me of this, maybe it's part of the same mental paradox.

There is a mystery here and I'd love to understand it.
