    2. @icysweet Hi there! We haven't talked. @critialcloudkicker I am fine, thank you.

      1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony so ehmm, lily, I always wondered, are you a vegetarian IRL ?

        1. @critialcloudkicker You're wondering because of what I said some days ago? Yes, I am. Did I come across as preachy? I didn't mean to come across as preachy. I was just trying to say that most of people can stay perfectly healthy with little trouble as vegetarians. Of course, I don't know all the details about you, so I don't know if that is true for you.

          1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony What if you're not affluent?

            1. @ceruleanspark Do you mean "affluent" as in wealthy?

              1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony Healthy enough to regularly buy luxury food items and mail-order supplements.

                1. @ceruleanspark As I said, I don't know all the details about your situation, but...you can be vegetarian within different price ranges. I don't have any deficiencies that I know of, and I don't spend that much money on food.

                  1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony I've found (at least in my area, which doesn't have any nice little mom and pop stores or markets or anything like that) that I would have to spend more to maintain a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. I'm /practically/ a vegetarian now, FWIW.

                    1. @ceruleanspark I have no reason to disbelieve you about that. One of the great ironies of modern society.

                      1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony I'm probably too lazy to be a strict vegetarian anyway, and I have certain scientific concerns about the lifestyle, but if it works for you and you're happy with it, more power to you.

                        1. @ceruleanspark OK, now I'm curious. What scientific concerns?

                          Wednesday, 23-Nov-11 19:10:03 UTC from web
                          1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony The same nutritional ones I'm sure you've heard dozens of times.

                            1. @ceruleanspark The regular ones, not the low-carb-true-believer ones?

                              Wednesday, 23-Nov-11 19:15:20 UTC from web
                              1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony The regular ones. I'm not especially fussy about my diet beyond getting the amount of nutrition I require to live

                              2. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony I tell you what I won't eat anymore though: Non-free-range chicken. I've seen baracka. I was upset.

                  2. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony I've been wondering about trying a vegetarian diet for a while now, but it would be too difficult with my family.

                    1. @seanthebluesheep I find that it helps if you volunteer to cook them all dinners occasionally.

                      1. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony My mum is too much of a control freak for that, and one of my brothers is a dedicated carnivore. I would if I could though.

              2. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony Affluent enough, even

          2. @lilytheamazingfaintingpony preachy ? hah, nah :D But I have remembered it because I wanted to ask you "why ?" and "so what do you eat ?" and "for howlong have you been, and is meat still tempting ?"
