I don’t get carrot dogs, there just raw carrots, shouldn’t they be peeled and grilled?

Just keep it away from lyra

Right. They do eat eggs there. My mistake. I’m vegetarian myself.

Vegetarian. They eat animal products: Milk, butter, eggs, other things. They just don’t eat meat.
 
Vegans don’t eat any animal products.

So ponies are vegan. Okay then.

What your body would be craving is protein. I said there would be other sources of protein, such as eggs. And if we throw in fish, you don’t have to worry about it at all.

Yeah, I considered mentioning that, but I don’t think we’ve seen ponies themselves eat it, so I’m taking the comment I replied to literally. If someone needed to “hide among ponies”, assuming act like one, look like one, I didn’t bring up fish because I can’t recall seeing them eat one. But if you had time away, you could eat them in private.

As a vegetarian myself, this is basically the route I took rather than going “cold turkey”: I limited meat to one meal a day, then one meal with meat every other day, every few days, and now I don’t crave meat at all. Then again, I follow Buddhist philosophy, which, while it doesn’t mandate vegetarianism outside of the clergy, depending on the school and branch, it is generally encouraged. For example, it’s common for lay Buddhists who can’t seem to adopt such a diet to at least eat vegetarian meals for the day at least on holidays or on a given day such as Sundays or certain days according to the lunar calendar, depending on the tradition.

@Vinyl Fluff  
Actually to suddenly switch to a vegetarian diet is hard. Your body doesn’t know how to handle the sudden loss of a large chunk of it’s diet, and can cause vomiting and general sickness(basically withdrawals) until you either deal with long enough, or consume meat again.

The return of the Carrot Dogs now makes me want to know how an actual carrot dog would taste.
 
Let’s get some fictional food chefs like FeastOfFiction to make one. And hope they don’t just add a crudton of sugar to the recipe.

@Vinyl Fluff  
Well, there’s obviously fish and such. We’ve openly seen fluttershy feed it to some animals.

They do eat more than hay. We see regular baked goods all the time, along with fruits and vegetables. You’d basically be eating a vegetarian (not vegan) diet, which isn’t hard at all. You’d probably crave meat after awhile but there would be other sources of protein easily found, such as eggs.

If I had to hide among ponies for a while, and I couldn’t eat or digest hay, I would try surviving off of these for a while.
 
Ketchup, mustard, relish and red pepper flakes make it a lot better.

If you watch behind Dash while they have their argument, you’ll see a rotational hot dog cooker, with carrots turning.
