Intro and Doomed Carnivoire

[Guest guest]

Hi, Im new to the site. I am 55 and have a small controllable, at the moment, autoimmune condition. I am vegetarian. My husband became vegetarian first, then gave up and then became vegetarian again when our first daughter was born, 22 years ago. My daughters became vegetarian when they were about 12 years old. I was reluctant to join in on this as I dont like being dictated to and often go the other way if pushed but it seemed silly to cook differently for one person and I became vegetarian as well. Since then we have had all the scares about eating meat and also the state of our seas and rivers also meant not eating fish seemed a good idea as well. My husband and I eat a lot of vegetables but also quorn and beancurd products.

Unfortunately one of my daughters does not eat fruit. She also does not like food with bits in it so every sauce she eats is strained. However, I dont think you can really influence what people like to eat and certainly not force them to eat things for health. Anyway, thats our vegetarian story.

in my family none of us had trouble to switch to a vegetarians lifestyle ( organic, no processed food )'It was easy : first You read the " China STudy " about the links of animal proteins and cancer.Two : The book : "Slaughterhouse "Three :Go to watch short movies on slaughtering on PETA site or youtubeI guarantee that you will never struggle anymore to avoid eating ageless chunk of corpse from unknown provenance. Despite the thousands of advertising on happy cows and junk food, the change was easy..it take a while to adjust to the new diet but after few weeks you will be pleased by the results. The trick is to deprogram the taste buds for new tastes , it take about 15 days if you don't relapse on something very fatty. A lot of people give up simply because they don't know what to cook anymore. We are continuously learning new recipes. first it was Indian cuisine, then Thai, now at the end of this

week we will be taught how to prepare Japanese sushi :-)Would you like to know what is in your chicken ? just read :http://www.jmbblog. com/arsenic- in-our-chicken/Bon appetit :-)
