It's inevitable. It's happened to us all. Or at least to me, about 50 thousand times. You order a pizza with friends or family, and specifically state that you want the pizza half veg, half chicken, in order to keep everyone happy. The pizza comes out, steaming hot, smells amazing....but it's got chicken all over it! What do you do? Your mom says, "What's the big deal? Just pick the meat off!" And everyone else nods in agreement. So, what do you do? A reader posted this provocative question in the vegetarian forum a few days back:
If you were to eat a meal cooked with meat,and you being a vegetarian and take out the meat from the meal is it then considered vegetarian?
It's a great question. I've got an answer in mind, but I'm curious to know what other vegetarians think (and do in this kind of a situation), so I'm going to hold off for a few days before chiming in with my thoughts. So, what do you think? Do you pick the meat off of food to eat it? Respond in the forum here.
