    Hello again Little Tree.
    I voted that I am a Vegetarian because I don't like the taste of meat or fish. But, I never really called myself a vegetarian because I still eat meat or fish sometimes, it just depends. I hate eating meat which you have to chew hard before you can swallow it, it's terrible. So, it's mainly because of that and the taste that I don't eat it.

    I mainly feed myself with pasta, pizzas, dairy products and potatoes. They are all ready-made dishes because I hate cooking, I am too lazy for it. When I want to eat something, it's in a minute, not two hours after. I also nourish myself with chocolate and snacks and junk food. I almost never eat vegatables or fruits, now that I think of it.

    The thing is that I only eat out of pleasure and greediness, and vegetables do not seem appealing to me. There was a time when I ate one Mac Do per week because the meat in the hamburger was ok. But I got tired of it.
    Also, when I'm in holidays I generally have no lunch. Just breakfast and dinner, with some junk food in the middle.

    I know that is not healthy at all, but I'm still in good health. I won't eat what is good for the health just because it is, I will only eat what I like.

    None of the above, I eat fast food and that is neither animal nor plant
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Like everything else it tastes like chicken. No seriously I would expect it to be fatty, quite tough and similar in taste to duck

    **Edit**

    Remembered relevent portion of a song by The Vandals:

    "Now back to my health
    I really don't need the vegetable
    All covered in filth,
    it's almost uneatable

    Meat makes you strong
    so strong that you can say
    Who's the man? Who's the man now?
    50 serving from just one cow"

    I don't eat any meat that comes from the pig. Nothing religious, just a personal idea I have. The pig has always been my favorite animal, and one day I want a miniature pig at home. So it's kind of an ethical choice. You don't eat your friends, do you?

    Well it depends.

    Edit: I realize that my comment could be understood in a sexual way which was not my intention at first, even though it somehow crossed my mind. But, I guess my first intention behind this comment might be even worse to some people, so let's forget about it.

    I have a certain amount of guilt about eating pork too. Pigs are supposed to be as intelligent as cats and dogs. i'm actually eating a ham and cheese sandwich right now. However, the guilt doesn't stop me. They are quite tastey.

    Those poor little fishy. How cruel.

    Next time I'm at a restaurant i'm going to ask the waiter if they serve platypuses.
