diet do you have?
I'm an omnivore so eat most stuff apart from devil's food like celery parsnips and turnips.
Are you vegan or veggie or pescatarian or anything else? Any pros or cons with particular diets?

"Amen to the celery hatred; the stuff is evil! 
I’m an omnivore also….with a predilection for junk food  "
Totally agree! I don't describe any food as junk. Doesn't seem to have done you any harm  |

"Most things except crustaceans or molluscs "
My version of seafood diet is I see food and eat it! I know other people who have a similar aversion though. |

"I don't have much of a diet. I haven't eaten any meat this year but that's just for not fancying it at any point."
From what I remember you saying you don't eat very much at all...must save a bit on food bills!

"Anything bitter. Olives, mustard, horseradish, wasabi etc. Urgh.
Apart from that I’m a delightfully easy date!"
I detest olives too! I'm OK with mustard and horseradish. Get your coat we're going out then! |

Hey there  . Let's hear it for the veganites How long have you been vegan? If I'm in need of a transfusion I'm asking for yours!  |

"I've been a veggie for over 35 years. "
That's great. I do always have a couple of veggie meals every week to try and get balance. You've obviously never been tempted by the offer of meat... |

"Kebabs, I always have salad on mine, got to eat responsibly."
That's of course a very balanced diet. Kebabs were part of my staple diet back in uni days. Greasier the better! |

A vegetarian one mostly but without being a vegetarian- I just don’t like most meat so very rarely eat it (although there are exceptions).
Unfortunately I eat a lot of carbs when really I should avoid carbs. |

Is that something about what that flesh once was? |

When I have veggie meals it's often pasta based or baked spuds. I should probably cut down on carbs too... |

More than likely
The product has to be heavily disassociated from the animal for me to eat it
I couldn't stomach a pork chop for example, but would scoff a ham & cheese toastie |

Plenty of people are waking up to veganism. I was brought up on a farm and meat was just part of the staple diet.
Awww and I'd be delighted to be reinfused with your vegan blood thank you  |

I pretty much eat everything as I don't have any intolerances or allergies but I do try and stick to pretty healthy diet consisting of veg, some carbs and lean meat like chicken, turkey, salmon etc. I have noticed that since doing that though, red meat does sit heavier on me |

Yes there's plenty of evidence to support that. And I'd be happy to eat it whilst in the Med |

I really try to have a balanced diet and it improves my overall health.
I have a feeling others might wish to comment on how the meat lays on you....  |

So was it just that when you lived at home you went with what you were given but changed when you left? You look pretty amazing so whatever you're eating is doing you good! |

There is an issue with a 100% vegan diet and that is that plants cannot provide cholesterol in any form whatsoever.
Whether you like it or not, this is a long term Heath issue as digestive acids are built on building blocks of cholesterol. Eventually, through the general flow, your natural reserves of this will deplete.

Definitely have you heard of blue zones, a list of five or so countries whos life expectancy is over 100, they mostly follow a Mediterranean diet, so pretty much proven to boost longivity |

Well thank you. Became vegetarian as soon as I left home to go to uni at 18. Ex was vegan and he did most of the cooking which is why I was mainly vegan - apart from cheese. Became fully vegan when I found out about cheese mites. If you don't know, don't look!

I haven't heard of them personally. Maybe more should be done to promote that diet? Though the government would then have to deal with paying state pensions for longer! |

"Pescatarian don't like avocado or cabbage diabetic but eat pretty much what I fancy x"
That's a good balance and it's lovely to eat what you like. Presumably the diabetes doesn't impact too much then? |

Do you mean cholesterol...?? There are two types, and you definitely still get cholesterol from plants:
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) (bad cholesterol)
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) (good cholesterol)
Vegans tend to be higher in HDL and lower in LDL.. Non-vegans tend to be the opposite (i think) |

Cholesterol is only found in animal products – meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs. There is no cholesterol in plant-based foods – even in high-fat plant foods such as avocados, nuts and seeds. So, it follows that a vegan diet is completely cholesterol-free |
