    I am a vegetarian

    but one of my hard rules is that if someone is nice enough to cook me dinner or invite me over and all they have is meat, I eat

    no need to be rude, it rarely happens but once in awhile I have to partake out of respect.

    I am a vegetarian, and have been for about 5 years, and it has definitely changed me as a person. At this point I could never look at an animal and think "food". My perspective on animals is completely different than it was 5 years ago.

    Ditto...if something has been killed and cooked for me, I feel an obligation to eat it. But most of my friends know the score.

    This. Animals (and their milk, eggs) are not food to me.

    Veggie for 26 years - wouldn't give it up lightly. Everyone knows the score, so noone offers me any. Saying that if someone did I wouldn't have a problems saying 'sorry no thanks'.

    I don't know how long he has been veggie, presumably a long time, that's why I so was gobsmacked when the OP said the guy on twitter has said he'd had a steak. Why steak? It's not like you can actually accidentally eat a bit of steak - 'sorry m'lud it just fell in my mouth'. I once had a 'veggie' chinese take away that managed to have a bit of pork in it, quickly spat it out and didn't eat anymore.

    I don't know maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I wouldn't have thought he would start eating meat on a whim, well I'm saying that as if he was me, which he's not, so who knows.

    I do think that if you're an occassional meat eater, that your still a meat eater not vegetarian, whether it's to be polite of whatever. Both my husband and son eat fish, my son calls himself a pescatarian, I also know people who will eat fish and foul - I wouldn't say they are vegetarian.

    I guess it all comes down to personal choice, and you have to live by your decisions. If he has tucked into a steak, it's a shame, but the world will keep on spinning. Personally I'd rather he hadn't, it was nice thinking there was another famous person who didn't eat meat, but there's a lot more of us out there so never mind.

    If indeed Ed has "gone carnivore", he's got my full endorsement. Meat in moderation!

    I have yet to read any hard evidence that Ed is a vegetarian. I keep hearing how he is, but never hear or read any quotes that confirms it.

    I'm a meat eater.

    I'm fine with eating animals, as long as they are all free range, live comfortably, and don't suffer. I think all meat eaters should note the living conditions and slaughter techniques that some animals endure. There is no reason that animals can't live comfortable, healthy lives, and get the ax painlessly.

    Mmm. Steak.

    Forgot to add.

    Support free range and organic until it becomes the standard. It's not only healthier for the animals, it's better for you. Most mega markets now offer organic produce and some grass fed, free range meats, which was unthinkable a dozen years ago. Prices on that stuff is all coming down, and if you continue to support it, it will get cheaper.
