Post #3 .

Cause I'm almost there on eliminating meat from my diet, but I'm not giving up sea food, or eggs either. If I have to choose a name for my diet would be sea food lover, lol I do agree with you Rah nam!!

That like, I sea food, then I eat it.

There are so many levels of vegetarianism, maybe only two or three for vegans, same for fruitarians, but yes you can call yourself a type of vegetarian, but I would advise to check what that is before advocating (just in case) check up on Pescetarianism first then go from there,
I'm Ultra strict , but its sometimes good to have labels on a lifestyle to break the ice a little, <^x^>

Thanks for your comment!!! To be honest it really doesn't matter to me the label or name, I just want to be more healthy and be able to stick to a good healthy diet that's going to help my body and mind be stronger. I will definitely check on Pescetarianism!

By the way welcome to SF forum!!!!

Good luck man. May the blessings of Neptune be with you.
Don't eat chicken. Those chicks are so packed up in megafarms, that can never be good. Fish can swim free in the sea. Well, if you buy fish that did swim free in the sea or ocean.

Concentrate on fibers and other things that give a saturated feeling. Fat does not necesarily have to be bad. It depends on the type of fat.
If you move away from read meat and dairy you take a significant step towards a more healthy diet.

Take a look at the Healthy Eating Pyramid at Harvard School of Public Health.
I found that very interesting.

Here in Holland we hear that the beaks of chickens are cut off and live stock is injected with a cocktail of anti-biotics to prevent them from getting ill. But those anti-biotic cocktails make virusses immune in the long run so hospitals have an increasing problem of providing patients with effective anti-biotics. Stuff like that.

Documentary makers are also not allowed in all places where they keep pigs. Farmers won't allow that.... Makes you wonder what they have to hide.

And when some contagious disease breaks out complete farms are wiped out for miles around. All the live stock is destroyed to prevent the disease from spreading.

That's the kind of stuff we are used to overhere.
