I’ve tried 4 or 5 times to be a vegetarian but the most I have lasted is 7 days..any tips?

Watch Earthlings, it’s streaming online at earthlings.com. It always helps.
What are you slipping up with?
-
I always slip when I am in a hurry and have class for the next 4-5 hours and just need something fast.

Plan ahead–pack some snacks in your bag (trail mix, nuts, lara bars or other types of bars, primal strips, whatever), have ingredients for PB&J or some other easy to make meal at home, and figure out what the nearby veg options are out. You can do it!

Thanks for the advice! I have actually made it to 2 weeks and I don’t see myself going back to eating meat. I did accidentally eat soup that was made with chicken broth but other than that everything has been good. Definitely been eating a lot of PB and J though!

I guess my question would be why you want to be a vegetarian if it’s something you can easy break? And I don’t mean it in a judgey way. I went on and off for months at a time and until I have finally reached being pescetarian for about 3 years now. Plan ahead and think about what you can eat. In a rush is tough, but I give myself the option of…[Read more]

I think it comes down to you really wanting to do it. I tried to be a vegetarian a few times but it didn’t stick. I never ate a lot of meat so I didn’t think it would be too difficult. Then I started reading some different books about all the horrible crap in so much of our food, meat included. First I stopped eating all processed foods which cut…[Read more]

For me, it was really helpful to have friends/roommates who went vegan at the same time, slightly earlier really. We could work together in figuring out good places to eat. Maybe see if there’s some sort of vegetarian club in your area/ at your school, and if not there are tons of online communities.
I also ate a ton of convenience foods, like…[Read more]

Sooo how do you ladies deal with men who think that feminism is personally attacking them, and not the overarching patriarchal system and society?
-
I have a Master’s in Women’s Studies and I…never really figured this one out. I would just try to explain to them very quickly and generally that it’s not about criticizing individual people, but rather the systems and structures of society. After that, if they still feel personally offended and defensive, then honestly, you’re better off…[Read more]

What really pisses me off is when they openly recognize class privilege but when it comes to racism/sexism, you can get them to admit that it exists but it’s like “well yeah it exists, but youre just being sensitive. lololol :) i looovvveee women tho, im not sexist so I dont wanna worry about it”
It’s just shitty when you expect more out of them.…[Read more]-
Yeah, that is especially frustrating. I guess this is another version of what Annika called The Douchebag Purge. Now you know who the douches are, so you can know not to fully trust them or just avoid them altogether!
