A quick hello...-born...

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I can identify with your dilemma. I am not a full blown vegetarian and

sometimes I do eat a bite of chicken or turkey (esp. at holidays, such as the

recent Thanksgiving). Most times, however, I eat veggies or veggie burgers and

read a lot of labels. I buy free range eggs, even though sometimes expensive.

I don't drink milk, but do use some milk products such as string cheese or some

from this list (http://cheese.joyous living.com).

 

One of the most important things I think is to get enough protein and vitamins

for daily

activities. You will find on this site a lot of information as well as

helpful people willing to share their ideas. Just do a lot of investigations on

searching vegetarian lifestyles and websites. I have a lot in my favorites if

you want to email me.

I'm new so i thought i'd say hi.

 

At the moment I'm a meat-eater (don't hurt me!) but i'm here for a

reason, and that reason is to find out HOW to be a vegetarian.. yeah

yeah yeah, heaps of vegies, nuts, 'legumes' all that stuff... but i

just want to know everything (even the really gross stuff, like if

being a vego makes you sicker or get diarrhoea or anything like

that), so i'll mostly spend most of my time in the sidelines

watching and reading stuff, either that or asking stupid questions...

 

I'm 19, study full-time film, work part-time (both those combined

means i don't have much time or money to buy and make my oown

vegetarian meals deperate from my family's meat meals), so right now

i'm doing a lot of investigating, and looking for a new job that

doesn't involve making grease-burgers (how hypocritical would it be

to be vego, yet work at maccas?).

 

one more question, and this may sound incredibly stupid, but i have

a thing with not being able to tell what material clothes are made

out of; are your traditional Dr Martins made out of leather (i

assume they are) and if they are, are there vego alternatives that

look just as cool? (i can't live without my Docs).

 

And my other question (for now, i'll come up with heaps), is

are 'free-range eggs really free-range, and are they still cruel?

and is drinking cows milk cruel? i know they have to me milked or

they get sick, but if we didn't eat their meat, and didn't drink

their milk, then there wouldn't be any cows but pet cows..
