I definitely been on the trend of less and less meat in my diet here.  Most of the time it is too 'gamey; spoiled' for my tastes.  You always see it sitting-out unrefrigerated for ages in hot guangdong before they cook it. Or at least I have seen that a lot here at the cheap places I tend to go.

I made myself a vegetarian when I was 15. Lacto-ovo vegetarian. Maybe I eat more tofu and less cheese in China, living in China has affected me actually.

When I'm not having my daily intake of barbecued lamb kebabs, I'm a vegetarian!

Before I came here I was already a half veggie...only poultry and seafood.

NOW...I pretty much live on Tofu and veggies....and my imported cheese on the side for snacks.

Chicken hacked into chopstick sized bone filled pieces...no thanks.  Fish served whole with head and bones and all...no thanks...but I do eat it sometimes.  Prawns with the head and shell...OK...I have learned to live with that.

I tried pigeon once and almost blew chunks at the table (it was a whole cooked pigeon...not a piece).

TedDBayer:

Shrimp is usually deveined at home, I think its the poop canal, squab or pigeon is usually only the tiny breast served. Why do they serve heads, never seen any Chinese eat them.? Or is it too lazy to wack it off?

Beer-atarian.  All the vitamins you need in a can.  (To be honest I don't give a sh*t what I eat - sea slug, grubs, brain, line-em up.)

EDIT: Not sayin' it all tastes good mind you.

China made me realize I could be happy being a vegetarian, if a little unhealthy, weak, brittle, etc. Really, I enjoyed all the cooked veggies.

i was a 95% veggie before coming to china.... however in the initial part of my life in china its like every dish has got meat in it.... eeee... too much meat.... trying to reduce now.... i feel better without meat.... firstly due to meat seems not very well preserved as someone mentioned... also feeels like my carnivorous instincts become stronger eating meat Wink ....

I like noodles, guess they have veggies in them and half a cup of oil. I eat way too many small loaves of bread. I eat a lot of fruit, especially for breakfast.

 Do they have meat in China? I hate sucking on bones.

Hulk:

I will only eat boneless meat... ugh, I hated that bone crap.

Nope, but I developed the awesome skill of meat/bone separation in my mouth, followed by bone spitting, meat chewing, and meat swallowing.....hopefully and usually in the order
