Vegetarianism

[Marie84]

hmm I've known three people who I'm fairly sure of their type that are vegetarians or vegans.
Ones an EIE, has been a vegan since she learned about where meat and animal bi-products came from. She is passionate about animals and has been volunteering for the SPCA since highschool.

A probable SLI who gave up meat, but eats fish, when making a radical healthy lifestyle change. She did a lot of research on how the slaughter industry works and the effects of meat on the body; she'll often quote facts about it and such.

An IEI who was raised by vegetarian parents, he isn't as passionate about the ethics of eating meat as they are but still doesn't think it's right

I have no idea if this is consistent with type, but the two NF's are more concerned about the ethics involved whereas the ST looks at it from a more personal logical point of view

I am not a vegetarian, but I don't eat meat every day as it is expensive. I would consider vegetarianism if I were doing it for my health, but I have no personal convictions against eating meat, so what's to stop me from eating it at least once in a while, yk? Even if I were doing it for my health, I wouldn't have to be strict about it...

The life of a true vegetarian would just be too strict for me; having to keep track of what I ate, and having to plan all my meals to make sure I got my complete proteins; or showing up at a party and not being able to eat anything except the crackers because everyone else are meat lovers lol

Yup, it ain't that "healthy" in the long run but hey, choice is yours.

My friends are vegetarians for different reasons:

SEE - because they want to preserve nature and be kind to animals...
SEI - because they want to better take care of themselves and their bodies...

I also know many SLI's who are vegetarians for the same Si reasons.

SEI - she's into whatever new idea strikes her fancy, it's related to buddhism at the moment. She claims she feels healthier as a vegetarian. Doesn't eat fish.

IEI - used to be vegetarian for several years, "health" reasons. I think she even gave up fish and dairy products at one point, but I'm not sure. I tried to describe her quest for it and how it is so painfully obvious Ni-leading + Ti-HA, but words failed me.

SLE - same as IEI (she feeds him).

EII and another ethical type - raised by vegetarian parents. "I don't eat corpses."

I think, like most things in socionics, the what isn't nearly as correlated with type as the how. IEI and SEI both tend to be more convinced by theories than facts, for example.

Delta NF related, IMO

raised by vegetarian parents. "I don't eat corpses."

I always thought this statement was funny. They eat dead plants, too. Okay, animals are the higher life forms, but people always have to destroy life in order to survive. "Eating corpses" is absolutely natural. I don't understand some people (not neccessarily all vegetarians/vegans) who praise nature above everything which is man-made but deny one of the most simple natural rules: Eat or be Eaten.

Doesn't eat fish.

Sacrilegious.
