Know Your Veg*ns (Pictures and info!)

Well hello there every body!:D *Frantic waving!*
So now that I've made everyone uncomfortable. I'm Fugly and I've been veggie for ~10years. Raised by parents who ate very little meat and I never really cared for it. I never ate much meat and ate no veg then to lose weight I forced myself to try them
, taking up a veggie diet unintentionally.
I'm 21, female, studying Science in Dublin. I am a total dairy whore and proud. :cool:
I don't post pix online sorry.0 -

Ok, I'm 24 - OMG 25 sorry. Veggie since I was about 12, but did fall off the band wagon about 3 years ago for a year. Was not worth it, I felt guilty every time I ate anything!
My main reasons for being veggie are moral ones, I hate the idea of farming, cages, miserable lives. It's not necessary and very cruel. I'm not vegan, but I do limit my intake of dairy, this is again guilt about veal calves etc.
Really upset I missed the last meetup. I'm a bit shy so I chickened out.
Maybe the next one. 0 -

Yes indeed biZrb! It is indeed daunting to meet new boards people, but once you do it's great! Because now I can put a face to the name posting Looking forward to the next one, but some one is gonna have to help sway the vote for whichever day. A great excuse to indulge in some delicious vegan food with others. 0

Always thought you were female! :eek:
Anyway, I think I'll join in.
I'm Michelle, I'm 19. Live in Dublin at home still. Haven't been vegetarian that long, about 6 months or so. Have no plans to stop anytime soon though
Currently in NUIM studying French and Geography. Have to spend at least 3 months in a French speaking country to get my degree so I plan to move to Montreal in October 2010, hopefully! Just to live though, not to study. Well, that's the plan for now anyway. Right. Here's me being tired from too much driving yesterday.0 -

I understand the driving tiredness, was out for 2 hours in the heat today and my car has broken air conditioning and window, so I can't put it down far or it's really hard to get back up, wrecked!
That was the best beers ever, so many people, they all thought I was either going to be a hawt lesbian or a 50 year old business man with a briefcase and suit. Haha, was just a 18 year old dude.Master of Nothing wrote: »Nice to see more new people in here:D To those who found/find it nervous, dont worry about it sure we are only a small group on boards meet up scales, sure the first one me and Tar(a) were at was a site-wide beers with over A HUNDRED there...now THATS nervous haha!
Howdy to the new people, keep it clean and keep it green;)
The good thing about the beers was everybody had a pint and then nobody was nervous, and were just running around, meeting all the people you wanted too from the site. I remember making a girl laugh so much she couldn't get up off the floor, was good times. There was somebody that only recognised me when they remembered the "." in the middle of my name and was like, oh of course I know you. :eek:
Surprised you remembered me from years ago, when I did not remember meeting you! Whoops.0 -
Hi everyone!
I'm 25, veggie since about 6 years ago was never a big meat eater before that though so it wasn't a big transition. Only eat veggie cheese and free range eggs (don't get me started on battery hens!)
Why am I veggie? Used to volunteer a lot for animal rescue and couldnt justify busting my balls getting dogs rehomed then going home and eating a burger, imo all animals are the same (regardless of cuteness/intelligence) and hey were omnivores anyway right? we don't *need* meat
I don't buy the "food chain" argument as if there wasn't as much demand, there would be less supply. Also I question the "nutritional" value of meat pumped full of growth hormones and so on
Tried being vegan but am wayy too lazy/bad with food so made myself sick and went back to veggie would like to be more disciplined and learn more about alternative protein sources and try again. I'm of the (misguided maybe?) belief that the dairy industry here is relatively ok compared to other places, I don't do dairy when visiting the US if I can help it.
Anywhoo, stumbled upon this forum and have found it helpful so far, so thanks
ps. in case theres any confusion, im a laaady!!
Molberts is my dog, also female but definitely not a lady :pac: 0 -

I am raah!. I was able to fully be a vegetarian when I went to live in dublin and control my diet. I'd prefer to be lacto vegetarian, but my parents feed me nothing but eggs now. I'm a mathsy physics student. This is a picture from new years, I couldn't really find any other ones . My name is Daniel. 0

Good show! I've since shaved my hair though, and broken my nose a second time, and have a dreadful pile of fluff on my face. But I'll probably look like that soon enough again. Nice to see all you other vegetarians aswell. 0

Some of you may not know how to post a picture on here so I'll do a quick run through first. You go to a website like www.photobucket.com or one of the others like flickr and you make an account. You are then given the option to upload pictures off your PC to your album. The site will then give you a link with the picture under it. To post it on here you paste the link in a post and write [?img] at the start of it and [/?img] after it, without the "?"s. So it might look like [?img]www.photobucket.com/picture.jpg[/?img]. If anybody has trouble let me know and I'll help you out, but I imagine most know how to by now. You can also just link to bebo/facebook whatever if you wush to show the photo that way.
So anyway I had better start it off since I am making the thread.
I am from Sligo, I have been a vegetarian for 5 years, maybe a vegan one day but that might take some years. I am vegetarian for many reasons, mostly ethical and environmental. When I started out all I ate was meat and it's taken me these years to get used to a vegetable diet. I would never go back now, it's fun to eat what I eat and try/cook new meals, and it makes me much happier than I would be if I still ate meat.
I have recently turned 23 and graduated a year ago with a degree in Electronic & Computer Engineering from NUIG.
So I lived for 4.5 years in galway and I am back in Sligo now. At the moment I am looking for a masters course/job, preferably in the capital, am studying for future certifications and learning to drive!
This is me on the left(you can tell by paleness):*
It is from a year ago when myself and my class visited Edinburgh.
I'll refrain from other pictures until other people post! You might even see the full face one day :eek:
*Not me really, just googled 'male model', i'm really a girl, honest, yes...
Cool haircut - Very Thurston Moore.. i'm not a veggie.. don't eat meat every day, love vegetables & meat & Thurston & live in Sligo. Not gay, but if I see you wedged between a couple of nice grilled peppers, I might be tempted to chew on your leg!!0 -

Um, I suppose I'll take the compliment. I realise even dudes can not resist the charm. My hair nearly always looks like Thurston Moore's, but better. sexy beast.starbelgrade wrote: »Cool haircut - Very Thurston Moore.. i'm not a veggie.. don't eat meat every day, love vegetables & meat & Thurston & live in Sligo.

I think I have lurked long enough!
I've been reading this forum (and others) for a while but have never posted...
I'm Cathy, 22, from Galway. I'm living in Edinburgh now but I'll probably be back home soon because I can't get a job
I've been vegetarian all my life. Would be vegan but I eat a shocking amount of milk chocolate.
Donnie Scribbles is this magnificent kitty!
Some of my former housemates use this as their username on other sites so I hope there is no confusion! I set up this account to sell an amp on adverts.ie and never really thought about it...
Anyway, hello 0 -

Hi, thanks for all the welcomes!
Hello AoifumsI have the answer to all your problems! Vegan milk chocolate!!
Is it made with soya milk? I tried a different brand of soya milk chocolate before and wasn't impressed! Where do you buy it? There's some great health food shops over here, I'll have a look for it.
Hey sweet-rasmus, cheers for the welcome, my input will surely be thrown!Welcome Cathy! Always glad to hear that you've lurked and liked what you've seen Throw in your input! Don't hold back 
Hi also, Maameeo (how do you say that?!)sorry bout the job fail
i love edinburgh, living there must be awesome!!!
Yeah, there's a lot more jobs than at home but also a lot more people going for them! But Edinburgh's great, beautiful city, great for cycling and cinema!
And finally, hello Tar.Aldarion!Hi Cathy, nice of you to join us! You are not the Cathy I know from galway are you?
Probably not, I think she is called Cathy on here and should still be lurking too.
I don't think I know you, I saw your picture a few pages back and I don't think we've met. There are a couple of Cathy's in Galway though, I've met quite a few!
Multi-quoting is difficult
You're all so friendly! Cheers for the welcomes.0 -

Nope, no soy in it at all!
IngredientsRaw Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Rice Syrup (17%), Cocoa Mass, Hazelnut, Vanilla, Sea Salt.
And it's organic and (mostly) fairtrade!
They sell it in most Nourishes over here.0 -

I might be moving to Galway. I cant remember if I liked living there really.
I'd like to be in Dublin, but it doesnt seem to be about to work out for me.
Doniescribbles...it just takes time to adjust to soyamilk. Pick one and stick to it for a while.
I love Donnie btw....he looks like he has a black heart 0 -

Galway really needs a proper vegetarian restaurant. Did you ever try the Budding Café on Sea Road? It's a florist aswell... I went in with my friend but it was too expensive so we left. Not sure if it was always vegetarian...
Evergreen is too expensive, Healthwise is better! Much smaller though...Nope, no soy in it at all!

Ah, that's interesting... Not familiar with Nourish, a Dublin premises I presume?I might be moving to Galway. I cant remember if I liked living there really.

I'd say Galway over Dublin, but that's probably just because I'm from there! Very little work there now though, and it'll be quietening down after next weekend once race week is over (Very glad to be missing it this year :eek:)
I actually really like Soya Milk, drink it all the time, in chocolate though it doesn't appeal to me, tastes like peanut butter!
Hee hee, Donnie does have a dark side, he is quick with his claws, I have the scars to prove it!Master of Nothing wrote: »I'll add my piece now that i'm feeling alright and say hi and welcome to the greener side of the Boards Cathy:) We are all nice people here but Moonbaby, although seemingly harmless:pac:tends to like evil things too so i'm not quite sure what you can make of her yet;)

If healthwise was bigger it ouwld be cool, but poor choice as it's small.

It has been funny over the years to see the threads started 'Is Tar.Aldarion a girl??? guy? robot?' or 'which boards member do you fancy and guys saying me. Few funny PMs i've gotten as well :P0 -

No but I did think he was a ginger.
Cocoa....There used to be a great veggie restaurent beside NUIG. AN Ghabhar Orga.
But it was a hippy co-operative and they went all Lord of Flies.
Or at least that is what I am going to believe. :P0 -
