Real Life Na'vi Tribe discussion about food and stuff

[Swokéyan]

Hey there, i made this topic so after we know where the rl Na'vi tribe will be we could discuss about the minor things like food, or actually thats a major thing.. but anyway some of us are vegetarian, like me.
Vegetarians dont eat meat, and yes some of them do actually eat fish, but fish is actually also meat, that turns you into a non-vegetarian
Are there any suggestions about what vegetarians should eat once our camp has been build? And will the meat eaters only eat meat or any other kind of food like vegetables or fruit or whatever grows there and will it be safe?

['Itan Atxur]

Quite honestly, I'm not sure how well it would work. I know we said we do want to grow some things, but we did decide to keep it minimal. So I guess it depends on what we can grow and gather and such.

[Swokéyan]

Thats true, but even if we would grow something, it wont be ready in time

['Itan Atxur]

The village may have non meat foods off the bat. We really haven't discussed the village much though, so who knows?

[eywa´eveng frrtu]

It'll al depend on where were going: are there edible plants/fruits present or do we have to start from scratch and grow some.
Anyway we need them, not only for the vegetarians. We need a well ballanced dieet. Otherwise you'll see that one by one we'll all fall apart, you just can't survive on meat only.
I've been trying to make a menu or a list of food things we REALLY need but without knowing where were going it's an immense work, so i kinda stopped. But i'm still looking n to the techniques required for preparing decent food when you'r in the wildernis and have almost nothing at hand.

LOL this is great Wife and I were at lowes most of the afternoon researching green house and alternative ways of growing vegitables and such. As to have some ready on hand I would make the suggestion any member that going to go that way for your diet bring a good stock to start with. I have a friend that owns a military surplus I can get quite the deal on food containers that dont need to be plugged in or such military uses them just for such as veggies and such that dont need refeggie but need to be kept safe and stored. me im a meat eater I'll be putting in for a daily order of something large to be dropped for a steak like meal lol

['Itan Atxur]

Bringing in food to start is an excellent idea.

[eywa´eveng frrtu]

and probably verry neccesary 

[Swokéyan]

Alright good to see people care about this subject
As soon as i have some suggestions i will post it.

[Nanaki]

and probably verry neccesary 

of course

[Col Quaritch]

I plan on bring several freezdried items, jerky, caned fruits and jams for a good kick start but dont come any where near my peach tree or there be war hehehe

I'm pretty sure there already is a thread on food/cooking but anyway.

Being a vegetarian in the tribe would be impossible and in the village highly unfeasible (sorry not trying to be nasty here i'm trying to be realistic) Take my word on this I study food in school and i'm currently doing a 200 page project on vegetarians. The main issue is that When we're out there milk, eggs, dairy etc. will be very difficult to obtain.

Hmm... possibly it could be done if nuts and beans and pulses were readily obtainable but still...

I think the purpose of this topic was supposed to be on vegitarians.

Are there any suggestions about what vegetarians should eat once our camp has been build?

well, there will be a lot of grass 
just kidding 

this is a very good question, I'll do some research about some tribes and what do they eat, they surely don't eat only meat so we'll find something for you too

[Swokéyan]

@ Sezawte; I know it's gonna be really tough, but i guess there will be things like fruit and maybe vegetables, but we have to be sure they are eatable because some things in nature are poisonous.
But if there's no one a vegetarian can survive i guess i can skip the vegetarianism for a while, i really dont want to miss this.

@ Eanä Tanhì; Coo, good idea 

[sezawte]

I mean if you want to go ahead try it and see, but I'm saying, and i'm not saying this to be nasty, that I know from having studied this (and if necessary i shall post some reference stuff) that it would be difficult if not impossible unless nuts, beans and pulses were all readily available and even then I have my doubts

[Swokéyan]

Yes i get ur point and i think ur totally right, but im just hoping it will be fine, which is a very small chance 

[Fnua Atxkxe]

As we don't know location yet, we cannot rely on the hope that there will be enough produce to support total vegetarian lifestyle. Hopefully there will be enough to add variety to diet but likelyhood is you would need to eat meat as well for key nutrients + main energy requirements of body . Sorrys

[Swokéyan]

I understand i guess i might consider eating meat for then.
But idk how other vegetarians think about that.

[bagget00]

How long has vegetarianism been practiced?
