Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Welcome to the group Nath! That's very true, I think everyone becomes vegan for many different reasons. A 'semi-vegetarian' I know doesn't eat particular meats just because she doesn't like the texture... And I agree with your philosephy, it sounds very environmentalist in a way. Even though you have been a vegan for two years, I don't think it's that uncommon not to have met another vegan since vegans are such a minority. I've been a vegan for over one and a half years and I haven't met another vegan either. Rach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed that some people on here have never met another vegan, I think there are an unusually high proportion of vegetarians and vegans at art school though, possibly helped by the fact we have an amazing vegan cafe run by haere krishna harvey he is awesome! I have only been vegetarian for 6months and vegan for two of those. I was bought up on a sheep and beef farm in the country, my father is a keen hunter and fisherman but is very accepting of me and respects my descision to abstain from meat YAY!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey Amanda! That's really cool that you have so many vegetarians and vegans in arts school and you have a good place to eat. Unfortunately, I must be in a very bad spot for vegans because I haven't even seen an especially vegetarian restaurant =[ I think you'll find it easier going from vegetarian to vegan, I spent a whole 6 months before taking the next step!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 yeah thats amazing amanda, lucky you. I ahve to settle for a rotten fruit salad at northumbria uni, it really is terrible. Thats cool that you have grown up on an animal farm and made a decision to go vegan, what was your testimony as a figure of speach? and i'd like to say thank you to all of the group for your warm welcome, it's so reasuring to know you guys all exist. Its interesting that there are a higher level of vegans on an art degree, I sometimes think that a creative, sensitive soul is more inclinded to spot the attrocities to animals first, thanks to there insight into human emotion, and i geuss there honesty. I myself personally am an extremely sensitive guy, who is very creative, and full of passion, and this nature of mine leads to my stand against things I see as ethical wrong doings, the negative side is it also leads to depression, being so sensitive, but I would rather be an extremely sensitive, and thus caring, and have a respectful appreciaition for the natural world, than a level headed, passive being, who not only can add to world problems, but also do little to help, other than helping the economy, sorry for sounding a little preachey, I just got back from climbing and the adrenaline is still running, wish you all a great week guys, Nath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Nath My name is Adam I'm from California but what ever part of the world I'm in, finding a good vegan meal or even a personwho understands what a vegan is very difficult. I find that the people might make going out to eat easier are the managers of the restaurantor if you can find a waiter who happens to be at least a vegetarian they might make a suggestion. Probably your best bet is research a restaurant online find there 800 # and askthem what your choices are let them know how much you frequent the restaurant.Good LuckAdam"aholeinmyheart" <aholeinmyheart Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 2:39:13 PM Re: introduction well I am 22, and live near Newcastle upon tyne, in the north east of England.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hello. I'm in a similar boat, also 37 and my son is 5.5yrs old and has a milk protein allergy, too - so we ended up 'here' (vegan) for much the same reason as you (oh, our son still has reactions to milk when we get something that snuck in - from us not making it or not asking about that one bagel that one time we thought we'd be ok if we didn't ask...ugh). We also started out like you, except I never liked eggs, but kind of tolerated them. Starting into my second year egg free (well, this past Nov. it was a full year!). My son and spouse like eggs, but rarely eat them at home, because I 'forget' to pick them up (ha ha) - because I'm happy to not have them in our diet and I do almost all the grocery shopping. Heh. We stopped having milk at all in the house as we just felt it wasn't fair to him if we had stuff he couldn't have (and I didn't even want to plant a seed next to anything remotely resembling short order cook...) and so we chose to just stop with the dairy all together since he was about 2 (we tried to re-introduce it every so often, as suggested by our Dr...but we just didn't like doing that, for how it made him feeland now - a year or so ago we had an allergist tell us to try giving him some and to log his reactions,etc and I just refused and never went back to them because that's not why I was there...we were happy w/no dairy and it's not like his reactions are only just physical, they also severely impact his mood/attitude on top of him being physically ill - I just needed/wanted verification/etc for school when he was going to start last fall. There is no way I would purposefully do that to him - since he has such an issue if it's a trace ammt - like we can't use SILK soymilk anymore because they do process on the same equipment - and I think their soy LIVE yogurt is all cultured on milk - maybe it was another brand, we tried, but I somehow missed that part - but I grow more wary of things processed on equipment shared with milk for how that stuff all makes him act depending on how much cross contamination happens -some stuff has been ok though, but it seems hit or miss much of the time). Sorry for the ramble, but I totally can understand where you're coming from on the milk allergy side of things. I guess in short, now that I've rambled on, we went vegan because it was so much easier with the allergy than being vegetarian (since nearly every vegetarian dish I've seen has cheese or milk in it somewhere, but it's not the case with vegan stuff). We also don't tend to go out to eat in places, because most folks figure that vegetarian dishes must include cheese of some kind. We are lucky to be in a place where there are vegan options at some places (usually Asian restaurants tend to be ok in our experience, though we do have a few lovely vegan restaurants in the city that we have gone to, and a few we've never made it to!).
