Ime a meat lover.....ah some grilled bbq chicken or ribs. That sounds good to me.

Basicly I love fruit, meat, dairy, grains, and of course candy

I'm depressed about the poll cuz I don't fit in any category.

I eat a balanced diet of meats, veggies, fruits, dairy and grains.

And coffee.

What?

Coffee is SO a food group!

In total agreement with Carrie Ann on this...coffee is a food group all of it's own..furthermore, it's the most well balanced food on the planet...in the universe! IS TOO!

Right now I want to eat a 5 pound cheeseburger!

tomatoes, pickle slices, and ketchup. Provolone cheese

Dedicated omnivore, though considering going on a raw food diet for a while.

I'm a flexitarian. I don't eat red meat very often (maybe a couple times a month), and poultry/pork is about the same. I eat fish quite often, and enjoy it very much. Lowering my meat consumption has really helped me. I feel like my meals are healthier, and they leave me feeling full but not as weighed down as when I ate poultry/pork/beef. I enjoy meat, though, don't get me wrong.

Coffee is totally a food group, too. ^_^

For the most part, I eat a vegitarian diet. I was strict veggie for several years but at this point, I do eat chicken and fish when I feel like it. Not too much beef, though. It has been out of my system so long that even a little makes me feel sick. Miss you, steak.

I was a vegetarian for many years, and also vegan. However, my entire life, the only meats that I could stomach were lighter meats, like chicken and turkey. I now am able to eat tougher, more heavy meats like lamb and steak, but those are rare occasions (think twice a year, if that).

I would soon like to go back to being a vegetarian or vegan sometime in the future. It would be very nice, though not necessary. I am alright with not being a vegetarian, too. I see no problem with it, just as I see no problem with being vegan or vegetarian. I enjoy vegetarian dishes and vegan restaurants too, so I still am very open to eating those foods.

I never feel full or satisfied when I eat a vegetarian meal.

^I like that. I know a few people who don't understand at all, but I see little difference between us and other animals. I don't need meat, I don't enjoy it. If I can avoid the suffering of another, I will, at least to some extent.

I say I gradually stopped eating meat 14 years ago, but I really did even earlier with seafood. I'm surprised my parents let me eliminate something from my diet so early, but I suddenly could not handle the taste and smell at all. Being in the same room as dead shrimp turned my stomach. Later, in middle school, I became interested in animal rights. I stopped eating red meat, I lost weight. I felt pretty good! I continued this trend and today, I am almost vegan. I'll probably never call myself vegan, I like cheese and ice cream too much. T-T

I know a person who is studying to be a dietitian who was horrified that I wasn't popping supplements. I try to get most of what we need through our food. Protein is in quite a lot, I don't care much about that except for my significant other (who is semi-vegetarian), who needs a little more than me to keep up the shape of his body. I am now attributing some problems to a deficiency in a few vitamins and minerals, though. I guess I have a few gaps I could do better with. I really hate taking pills, but I will consider some supplements to deal with those gaps.

I am so happy to see others here with a similar diet!

I went straight up Vegan for a year, and then moved in with family and went Vegetarian, and then finally stopped at Pescetarian, which means I only eat fish. Mostly just Alaskan Wild caught Salmon. I'm working to become at least vegetarian again, but my sweetheart won't budge on letting go of the fish again.

Well there wasn't one for meat eaters, lol, but I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. I like meat to much.

I am semi-vegetarian.

I eat no meat except for seafood. It's a spiritual, moral decision. I do eat red meat or poultry when I am invited somewhere to eat. In the past I used to impose people to change there menu for me or to let me bring some food for myself. I found it sort of disrespectful over time. Especially when a friend invited me over to her place to taste her cultures food. I didn't want her to change her menu just for me. It felt wrong.

So when I do eat meat I just pray for the food that I am eating.

Omnivore here.. I like my veggies so I didn't vote in the poll, but I definitely can't live without my meat!

'Cept ground beef. For some reason, as of about 2 years ago, ground beef makes me vomit. I can have steaks, or beef stew.. no ground beef though. I'm sure if I ground it myself I would be alright, I just think it's because most ground beef is extremely fatty and I have a terribly sensitive stomach to heavy foods. Haven't figured it out yet, but I don't like testing it. So I stay away from ground beef, lol.

I used to be a vegetarian and I hated it. The food is so boring, and most of it is disgusting. I do love veggies and fruit and all the healthy stuff, but I hate food that is meant to imitate other foods - it's just wrong. I do love meat and fish though, and I'm willing to try anything. I really wish I had Andrew Zimmern's job.

I have been a Octo-Lacto Vegetarian for 19 years. For the most part I have not had any thoughts of eating meat again, even through my pregnancies. However; when I go to Six Flags the smell of the hamburgers make me dare to try meat again.

I did it and then had steak cooked the right way. You see my parents did not believe in cooking it to taste good, chared meals were there thing. I hated steak. Then, my boyfriend (who is now my hubbie) took me out. I tried his meadium-rare steak and fell in love. So needless to say, I love meat now! I do also love me some fresh veggies! Yummy!
