Would I be consider a Vegetarian?

Question

I don't choose not to eat meat, I would love to be able to eat meat because of the protein and nutrients. But the smell of all meat makes me gag and if I try eating it I will vomit. And yes I naturally don't like the taste of meat. I did researches and I found out true vegetarians choose to be that way and naturally are not that way. So what would I be? Is their any one else with this eating disorder? I can't help myself.

Vegetarianism is more of a choice. What you are is a herbivore, sorta. But, can you eat shellfish, eggs, or poultry without vomiting? 'Cause then you just might be a semi-vegetarian or pescetarian (not by choice of course).

On another note, your reaction is more of an allergy. By consuming meat you experience your bodies natural reaction which is vomiting. I have the same problem when it comes to yogurt. The idea of a dairy product and fruit sound wonderful but as soon as I try to swallow, I vomit.

Answer 2

Well, do you refrain from jello, or other things with geletin (made from dead animals)? If you do, and no meat passes your lips, yes, you are a vegetarian.

Vegan.

Answer 3

Um well there are different reasons for vegetarianism. There is health (which you can use as an excuse), ethics, environment (animal rights) and religion. Yeah you can consider yourself one for your health, also know there are different kinds of vegetarians out there and not just vegans and the ones who eat eggs and dairy (which are lacto/ovo vegetarians), so when you have knowledge it makes you look better.

Answer 4

IF you eat no animal flesh you are a vegetarian regardless of the reason.

Answer 5

I wouldn't consider you a vegetarian. All my vegetarians avoid gelatin and things of the like, because they are ingredients from dead animals.
You are simply just a picky eater.

Answer 6

do you eat fish? if so you are not.

Answer 7

If you don't eat meat, you are a vegetarian regardless of if you choose it, or if it's because your body can't handle the meat.

I am a vegetarian because my body stopped breaking down the proteins in the meat, and I got tired for throwing up. I chose not to eat meat over being sick, and although it wasn't much of a choice, it's still a choice. Sounds like you are really in the same place. You not eating meat, and not getting sick, is a choice over eating meat and getting sick.

I hope this helps!

Answer 8

You just seem like a natural herbivore to me and if your body is trying to tell you something about meat, you should listen, it knows what it's doing.

You can also get all the nutrients and protein you need from other sources.
Do a little research and you'll be a happy healthy person, whether you consider yourself veg or not.

Answer 9

It's not an eating disorder. You just do not have a liking for meat. How do you think there got to be so many vegetarians anyway? Yes, you would be considered vegetarian. But, only if you STRICTLY eat no meat at all. Or it just defeats the entire purpose.

Answer 10

I gave up meat at 12, because I don't like the taste, or smell.
