How can I avoid the temptation of meat?
Answers:
I'm not much of a meat eater. only on christmas, but i tell ya, i seen a book where they slawter pigs & cows & it turned me off from eating meat, as much as its advertised & tempation of it, i slowely turned to other better foods, such as Tofu, & chinesse food, & veggies. & pasta. you can cook with tofu , but anyway, I eat pasta & tofu & eggs, & drink soy milk . Although once in great great while, ill have little meat, My family is meat eaters, i read about how they kill them. im for animal rights.
Read the nutrition labels... lol. If that doesn't work you could always watch slaughterhouse footage on youtube.
don't deprive yourself right away but gradually cut down on it...try the soy/fake meats, though i don't think they taste all that great. Then again I've always been vegetarian so I've never known what meat is supposed to taste like anyways. But make sure you don't start a new addictive habit thats hard to kick while you're at it. And make your veggies and fruits fun and interesting to eat.
Good luck!
Watch The www.meat.com video
yea, um..... dont buy it? purhaps? (duh!) lol
If it is a lust for the smell of meat, cook up some animal-friendly substitute.
If it is a lust for the meat itself, you are probably missing out on some vitamins found in meat. Load up on some peanut butter or beans.
If you live in a town with vegetarian restaurants, I suggest hitting up one of those and asking for a great meat substitute meal.
slam your fingers in a door everytime you feel like eating meat. :)
eat tofu anf bean curd and cashews. they have good protein and make u full. also stay away from the deli area in the store
watch peta videos or anything with an animal in it
and don't eat at fast food place that sells meat, or don't wonder into meat?? section in the super super market
i really hate the stinch of meat section, does everyone not smell that?
Look at your dog/cat/ whatever pet you may have and think of someone trying to eat your pet. Gross.
Same thing with eating other animals.
Word.
We are not meant to eat meat. Early man was a vegan. I switched to an all vegetable diet and I feel great.
Stop trying to be something you are not, that would be a good start. Your are either a vegetarian or you like meat.
Have you ever tasted pure vegerarian schnitsels- i eat meat and i tell you i will turn vegetarian for them, including vegetarian sausages, mmm.
Big up for you sticking through something like that, takes alot of will power.
Just educate yourself about how unsanitary it is, and you will lose all temptation. Here is a link for a really good site-read through all of the catagories on the left and that should do the trick. Despite the animal cruelty issues, which are horrid, meat is simply not a good idea. Its full of all manner of nasty things. You can't get the good protein and iron, without getting all the parasites, bacteria and other gross stuff. Here is the link. Education is the key-I am now repulsed by meat

Don't. If you're tempted, you obviously want it, so have it.
Why would you avoid it? Unless you are vegetrian. If so, your are vege because presumably, a) you don't like meat, therefore, you couldn't be tempted or b) you are against the slaughter of animals for human consumption etc. If this is the case, there should be no temptation because you feel strongly enough the be a vege. Simple.
at first i found it hard to avoid bacon. Mind over matter. look up horrible facts to reaffirm your decision not to eat it. Once you have convinced yourself that you don't like it, then it won't be an issue for you any more
Quorn!!! It's gorgeous!!! xxx
Find out about the conditions animals live in in factory farms (which is where the fast majority of meat available for sale comes from)and about how they die in abattoirs-that should put you off.
