This is an easy question for me. I don't care for meat. I do like things that swim in the sea and chicken. Not eating beef is no sacrifice for me. We eat a lot of vegetables and it does take time cutting them up. It's also difficult to find fresh vegetables in the winter in PA. I use a lot of spices and herbs, finding we don't miss salt and keeps meals interesting. I made cheese "steak" sandwiches tonight and used mushrooms instead of beef. My husband has no idea and simply thought I cooked the meat too long and was a different consistency. Amazing what a few spices will do. He is a meat eater.
The down side to my preference for not being a carnivore is my iron and Vitamin D are low. I have to take supplements and have blood work done every 6 months. I've never been a big meat eater and have always had issues with iron.
Now I just wish I didn't care for Snicker Bars and wine. (Not together!)
Good topic. Thanks for beginning a thread that is simply opinion and nobody is right or wrong.
