@icysweet terribly derpy... tired... and my feet are killing me... because I stood all day in the kitchen tending other peoples wants and needs... I am now making myself some lovely canned soup... I cant stand ( at ) another hot furnace again :o
-
@icysweet Hi there! We haven't talked. @critialcloudkicker I am fine, thank you.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony so ehmm, lily, I always wondered, are you a vegetarian IRL ?
-
@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.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony What if you're not affluent?
-
@ceruleanspark Do you mean "affluent" as in wealthy?
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Healthy enough to regularly buy luxury food items and mail-order supplements.
-
@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 ?"
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Affluent enough, even
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@ceruleanspark I have no reason to disbelieve you about that. One of the great ironies of modern society.
-
@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.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony I've been wondering about trying a vegetarian diet for a while now, but it would be too difficult with my family.
-
@ceruleanspark OK, now I'm curious. What scientific concerns?
-
@seanthebluesheep I find that it helps if you volunteer to cook them all dinners occasionally.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The same nutritional ones I'm sure you've heard dozens of times.
-
@ceruleanspark The regular ones, not the low-carb-true-believer ones?
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The regular ones. I'm not especially fussy about my diet beyond getting the amount of nutrition I require to live
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony I tell you what I won't eat anymore though: Non-free-range chicken. I've seen baracka. I was upset.
-
@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.
