Tommy Lee will never become a vegetarian, even for Pamela Anderson, one of the most well known vegeterians and animal rights activists of our time. Tommy said,
"There's been two times now, where I've driven by In-N-Out (burger chain) and I'm like, `Pull the damn car over, I need a triple-triple (burger), dude.'"
Haha, wonder how Pamela feels about that. I know a few vegetarians who say that eating meat is a deal breaker with them. To the vegetarian readers our there, does it matter if your partner is a big meat consumer or not?

I'm a veggie and neither my husband nor my kids is. But it doesn't bother me at all. It was a personal decision on my part, and I wouldn't expect anyone else to jump on my train just because they felt like they had to. My husband and kids do eat veggie at least three or four times a week, though (I'm the one doing the cooking, after all), and when they eat meat, it's always organic. It's more expensive, but the flavour of grain fed, free-range beef and chicken is usually so much more amazing that you don't need to eat as much!
You should know that organic meat does not make a difference. The animals go to the slaughter house in the end anyway, and the concept is still the same. www.goveg.com visit this site for more details.
Not a deal breaker...to each his own.
If you're dating Tommy Lee, you can't exactly give up all meat...lmao.
I'm a vegetarian and my husband is not. Seeing as I'm the cook the majority of the time, he does have a 90% meat free diet - and when it's his turn to cook, he's kind enough to make vegetarian meals so that we can eat together. But I never impose food choices on him - I almost expect him to order meat at restaurants or for the odd lunch when I'm away, and if he wants steak that's his business. He's already amazingly supportive with eating whatever I make at home and embracing the ethics and health advantages behind my decision.
I'm not a vegetarian, but my grown daughter is. She doesn't care if the guy doesn't care , but she refuses to cook meat or poultry. So there would be no turkey dinners at her house unless her guy cooked it and did the cleaning up of it. I don't even think she would pick it up at the grocery store since she won't even touch it.
I am a vegetarian and my fiance is definitely not...I have no qualms about cooking meat for him (apparently I cook a great rare steak, who knew?) as it is not his problem that I am a vegetarian. Mind you, since we have been living together he does eat more vegetarian meals than he used to and I do try to get him to eat organic meat whenever possible. However, I am not a vegetarian due to my belief in animal rights (don't get me wrong, I care about animals) but because I cannot stand the texture and taste of meat... But honestly, it's a personal decision on my part and I would never expect him to be a vegetarian simply because I am
I'm a vegan, and so is my husband, thank god. It's nice to have it in common, not just for the ease of meals, but because it's an ethical thing for both of us.
I would not consider myself a vegetarian, but I rarely ever eat meat. It disgusts me 99% of the time. My boyfriend likes meat... GOOD meat, not crap burgers and whatnot. It really doesn't bother me when he eats meat. The thing is that he eats salads and stuff like that as well and doesn't feel like less of a man afterwards. That I like.
If you're not a true vegan, why would it bother you if you're boyfriend ate meat at all? You're a weirdo. You don't make sense either...
Hmnn, it really doesn't matter as long as he is considerate to my viewpoints.
I've been a vegetarian for five years now, and I would be more than happy if my boyfriend were too. It's easier for everyday life, and it's great to have that philosophy in common. But if he understands my choice, I have to understand his, no matter what it is. Vegetarians need to be tolerant, if they don't want to be alone !
Our family is vegetarian. We don't purchase or buy meats nor would we cook it in our home. When we are out to dinner with friends it does not bother us that they do eat animal based meals. Down to the deal breaker part---yes, it would be a deal breaker for me. At this time I don't lips that touch meat to touch mine and I would not want meat based meals cooked in my home or in my pots and pans. Could I love people who eat meat? You bet!!! I just to keep it all veg in my close and personal relationships.
I've been a vegetarian for sixteen years. My husband and I have been together for almost 10 but he's been an omnivore his entire life. It's his decision, not mine, and it's not my place to force my morals and ethics upon anyone else so it doesn't bother me in the least. He respects me, I respect him and life is good!
Like most everyone else who commented- my boyfriend eats meat(a lot, he is from a traditional Italian-American family) and I am a vegetarian. It is everyone's personal choice, and I would never foist my ideas on someone, especially whose familial culture has a lot to do with food, and meat is part of that. If we ever get married, I plan on cooking meat and vegetarian dishes, with always something vegetarian for me to eat, while he gets meat a few nights a week.
He calls her "dude"?
I believe he meant his driver.
Ooooh, that makes sense. Silly me for thinking of them like they were normal people! People without drivers and nannys.
I'm mostly vegie (I do eat fish on occasion) but I won't cook any of it. Howevery, my policy is if you want it, you cook it...I have no issue with it in my house or around me but I'm not going to make it for you! Most of the guys I've dated are not vegetarian but it's never been an issue. (who am I to tell you what to eat?!)
so what.....to each his own
This just in from PETA... "Those in relationships with meat eaters should immediately KILL themselves for being allowed to further this insidious agenda. That is all."
I was just thinking that. If you're a TRUE vegan, how can you be with someone who eats meat. Knowing that that animal died to be eaten?? If you're vegan and are with a meat eater, dang, you should just eat meat. Might as well, you're allowing this terrible habit to continue. Plus, wouldn't you be a hypocrite?
i'm very passionate about animal rights. i'm also very passionate in my belief that PETA has done a major disservice to the animal rights movement by alienating the public at large from understanding or supporting 'the cause' due to the absurd issues it chooses to 'take a stand on' for the sheer purpose of gaining media attention. choosing pamela anderson as a spokesperson for such a delicate / largely misunderstood issue was crazy poor judgement on the part of PETA and gang. what's next? paris hilton as the face of the sierra club?
I can't believe we're not actually the same person. Are you SURE we're not the same person?!
we ARE! zeus tore us apart!
we ARE! zeus tore us apart!
I've been a vegetarian for seventeen years, and my boyfriend's been a meat-eater for thirty-seven years. He appreciates the vegetarian movement, and he feels terrible about eating things like pork, but I don't ever pressure him to change his diet. I also NEVER cook meat for him (partly because I find it disgusting, but also because I'm not really sure how it's supposed to look or taste), and he's never asked me to -- but again, I don't forbid him to put meat into our fridge. I honestly can't picture raising children who eat meat, but I also think it should be a personal choice. My kids will probably be primarily vegetarian growing up, and if they would like to try meat as they get older, so be it. They can also go to church if they want -- that's a choice that's every bit as personal as one's dietary habits. Also, I have the kind of physicality where I don't NEED meat to feel healthy; my iron count is good and I get plenty of protein from other sources, but I also know people who've tried to become vegetarian and it's made them really sick. But it's not as simple as just swearing meat off for good. It takes a lot of research and dedication.
Ernestine - that is one of the best, well spoken comments about vegetarian/meat eater that i have read in forever. Thank you for that. I am a meat eater, I would say over half of my friends are either vegetarian or vegan. None of them has ever given me grief over my choice of food. One of my friends went vegetarian a couple years ago and was very tired and sick feeling for awhile until her body got used to it, and now she always feels fantastic - not to mention the amount of weight she lost.
I mean, in MY ideal world nobody would eat meat or wear fur at all (NOT that I'm comparing those who eat cheeseburgers with people who wear full-length minks, because there's a TREMENDOUS ethical difference), but I'm also realistic. I just think that pointing fingers and tossing moral judgments at people really do more to hurt a movement than help it. I've had friends who've switched to vegetarianism since I've known them, and it's really gratifying to share recipes and advice, but I've also never tried to foist my own stances on them, you know? I'm an Atheist, and would be really annoyed if my religious friends tried to "save" me or whatever. I try to look at it that way.
Also, I'll always have pets, and I will NEVER force them to forego meat in their diets. It's animal cruelty to deny meat to your cat or dog. They're CARNIVOROUS!! I loathe vegans who force their dietary habits on their pets and claim to be "animal lovers." The dry and canned food I buy for my cats is ridiculously expensive, but at least I know that it doesn't contain scary ground-up byproducts and that the animals used to make it were killed in a humane way. So, by purchasing meat for my animals, does that make me an animal abuser? A lot of the more judgmental people reading this post would probably say yes, which I find absolutely absurd.
