I'm glad I'm a real carnivore, I couldn't go without my meat!

(but I do respect anyone who has their own ways, just to point that out!)

@Mahon - vitarians don't boil their meals over 60*C or something like this;
they also don't eat any meat meals

Woot! I found the thread. There are also 'Breatharians' who don't eat at all... documented cases... it has to do with how high you can get your personal vibration level up to... and maintain it. All breatharians I've heard of are monks, lay nuns, so to speak, and very special people.

I've been a Vegan on a number of occasions and was a member of a vegetarian society for some years...

We used to have a monthly pot luck dinner where everyone brought a dish, complete with recipe, cause some were lacto-ovo veggies, some vegans, etc. I remember very well one time an old lady came with a tuna casserole! Fish! No one touched it but her and her other blue haired old lady friend.

In Norway I discovered that Norwegians commonly consider themselves to be vegetarians even if they eat fish! But then Norwegians eat fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner sometimes! Lots of funny Norwegian Sushi as well as cooked/boiled/baked/pickled/fried fish as well.

Steak Tartar is a not uncommon Norwegian Yule delicacy.... I once roomed with a civil engineer when I was living in the USA. He said a big Italian labourer (he was of Italian descent as well) on one of the construction sites he supervised used to eat raw hamburger between slices of white bread for lunch. Tartar is high quality ground beef. The raw egg yolk is served on the side in half an egg shell sitting in an egg cup. The thinly sliced onion is on the side as well. It you like raw steak (USA style steak) or even blood rare steak (very tender) you might like to try Tartar. Ground sirloin steak would be a USA equivalent.

@Kenneth
this week my friend told me about his friend (they have a HH band);
the guy is vegan BUT the ONLY MEAL he eats a day is a loaf of whole-meal bread and an apple; he eats it about 3 pm; he also drinks tremendous amound of mineral water - he always carries about 3 liters; this guy says he doensn't feel hunger at all...

:shock::shock:

That's because his stomach is full. Maybe not with a lot of nutritious stuff (bread is a bit thin on the nutritional positives IIRC), but with the swollen bread, litres of water and an apple.

I wouldn't reccomend a diet like that. There will be damage to bones, heart, immunes system will be weakened considerably, muscles will waste, major bone troubles (including: rickets & severe osteoporosis), constapation, dizzy spells, vitamin deficits, increased chances of cancer, intestinal damage, lack of stamina, high chances of developing allergic reactions and so on and so forth... Nobody's diet is perfect, but I'm worried about this chap.

What makes it that fish aren't meat?

for sure they are meat, also fishes are. and worms. but usually "meat" is called the bovine meat, i know people that don't consider chicken meat as "meat".

i think this distinction growed from the fact that fishes (often) aren't bloody, and when they are (like tuna fish), the consticency of their meat is different from the cow meat
