Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2005 That's funny. According to PETA FL & TX have 2 of the top 10 Vegetarian friendly cities. Here's the link to the article. http://www.peta.org/feat/vegcities/crop.html Try living in WI, known as the dairy state. They seem to manage to sneak dairy into just about everything. Even in the major city of Milwaukee there's only one Vegetarian restaurant and it's Indian (like you can't find plenty of Vegan dishes at most Indian restaurants anyway.) Hmm, may have to amend my statement, I just found 1 other with one of my Vegetarian restaurants links, will have to check it out. Sounds very limited though, just sandwiches, bakery & smoothies. Here are a couple links to find Vegetarian restaurants in different states. http://www.happycow.net/north_america/usa/index.html http://www.vegguide.org/location/view.mhtml?location_id=2 & new_query=1 http://www.famousveggie.com/statelist.cfm http://www.vegdining.com/GetRestList.cfm?rgk=NA-US http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/usa/index.html I must warn you though, some of the websites will list restaurants that are not strictly Vegetarian but are Vegetarian friendly, sometimes with no way to tell which is which. I know this because there are a few I've seen listed for Milwaukee and though they are Vegetarian friendly they also serve fish, chicken, etc. Take care, Tammy - spring muller Tuesday, February 01, 2005 7:39 AM Re: new here I just want to let you know that Tampa, Florida is not much better.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Orlando...I would have figured it Miami; however, I knew it wasn't Tampa. Orlando is a large and very ethicly diverse city as well as Miami. Orlando is very big for the tourist as well. Orlando must be open to change...Tampa is still at least 10 years behind. I suppose you do have a point living in the dairy state.

I still recommend we all read How to Win Friends and Influence People. When people stopped asking me out to eat when I would say I don't eat dead animals, I realized that wasn't the way to go. Showing you can enjoy a vegan meal, and demonstrating joy and health is I think much more important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 2, 2005 Yeah, I figured Tampa wasn't quite as Veggie friendly as Orlando but I can't help but think that a state that has at least one city that's very veggie friendly would be better all over than one that doesn't. It seems if it's locally available, even if mainly in one city, it'll spread somewhat all over. Then again, Chicago, IL is quite Veggie friendly and it's only about 1 1/2-2 hours away from Milwaukee, WI but that doesn't seem to have made any difference here. In fact MN seems pretty Veggie friendly too. So it seems WI is surrounded but stubborn enough to not let that affect it much. :} You're welcome.

So honestly, either is a good way to go about it. Don't beat yourself up if there's a transition period. Every part of me says take it slow and learn your diet and how your body is handling each transition. I've seen too many people clueless about health and neutrition jump head first into a vegan diet and do more harm to themselves than good. Then not realizing that the problem was their own ignorance as concerns health and neutrition, they blame the vegan diet and lifestyle for their health problems. Another potential problem is that when you transition quickly to a vegan and/or raw diet, the body will have a tendency to go through a much harsher detoxing period than if you transition more slowly. Usually this isn't dangerous for most relatively healthy people, but it certainly can be dangerous to detox quickly if your body does not eliminate toxins fast enough. Corey...

My husband and I stopped eating all meat a couple of months ago, and I'm weaning off dairy. Do you have any recommendations for brands of B12 vegan supplements? Rhonda ---- In fact, I recommend that people find a good vegan supplement to take for B-12 needs, if they are not sure they are getting enough B-12 in their diet. Just make sure the capsule linings are vegan. Corey... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to try check these out the next time I go shopping! There seems to be so many things out there, sometimes, I think new vegetarians really don't know which items to start with. So, it always helps when you have suggestions from someone who's actually used the products. > I found really good dairyless recipies at www.garynull.com I appreciate the website address also!
