Meat.
Not that I think people shouldn't be allowed to eat it, I just think people should know the process of slaughtering and preparing an animal for consumption before they gorge themselves on tasty, tasty meat (for the record, I think meat is delicious).
If you feel comfortable with the actual act of killing an animal and preparing it, you are tougher than I. I don't think I could bring myself to do such a thing in a world where a myriad of alternatives exist. Life or death situation? Sorry, pig, but meet the business end of this giant fucking bludgeon. Other than that, though, I couldn't kill something that obviously doesn't want to be my food.

I'm pathetically weak around anything sweet(Gelatin? Ah..... pretend I didn't know that. Honey? uh... a bee stung someone I knew who was repeatedly jamming a stick into it's hive once, so screw bees? Uh, milk chocolate? Um... Uh... Vegan chocolate is too expensive! Yeah. That. *runs*)
Other than that, and anything that's like, 3x as expensive vegan, I'm vegan. It's not completely moral, as I gave up nothing I really liked except davidstow cheddar. I'm a weak, weak person.
I WISH I was allergic to dairy, that would teach me a lesson. As-is, all I'm allergic to are fish and grass.

Well I don't eat Kebab because of two reasons, the texture and that once I ate it when I was young I got a huge peace of plastic and it jabbed itself into the side of my gum and it hurt like hell.
So when I tried to eat some kebab years later it always feels like I'm gonna get that plastic piece jabbed into my gum again so I avoid it.

I have a question for you vegetarians. What's the point of being one if you're not militant about it? I mean, if you're not sneaking at night to free some cattle, what have you accomplished? The animals will still get killed, the meat will still be on sale, you just miss on eating meat.
I don't eat eel because it is difficult to come by. If I am in the able (ie: in a Sushi place or other Japanese restaurant) I will mess up some ungai. Love that stuff.
Also, being an American, I can't find anyplace at all that has pasties. Based on what I've seen and, read, I'd love me some Cornish pasties.

That's not actually entirely true. Being vegetarian saves about 100 animals per year simply by reducing the demand for meat.Venereus said:
That said, even taking your premise as given, I'm quite happy with limiting my veganism to minimizing my economic support of animal slaughter and cruelty, because animal welfare is not my entire life. I have degrees to achieve, birds to care for, games to play, things to knit... y'know?
Fewer people eating meat means less demand, means less price, means the same amount of meat is consumed, but less demanded, means people who eat meat more likely to die (greater consumption), farmers make less profit (taking a hit in order to sell with less demand) and are more likely to go out of business/reduce stock (THEREBY saving animals from suffering in the future). Plus, it's not about the animals, it's about the humans that could be eating the food we instead feed to cows, it's about my health, it's about pollution, it's about water. It's more than animals that suffer.Venereus said:
Plus it tastes awful.
Sorry if this isn't answering the topic, but i don't eat tomatoes because i really don't like their taste. Same with onions. I can eat meals that contain them as subsidiaries to the meal, such as tomato sauce in a pizza and onions in some sort of savoury meat pie, but actually whole or otherwise singly and tangibly taste-able/touchable in my mouth then no.
Weird i know.
