Hi. My name is Bruce and I live in N.W. Indiana. I was lacto-

vegetarian for about 7 months before making the change to a vegan

diet. I did not include much dairy when I was doing that.

 

I became vegetarian due to health concerns and my health has improved.

I am no longer obese. I have chronic obstrucive pulmonary disease

and I am convinced my vegan diet helps reduce the symtpoms.

 

Since becoming vegetarian I am now more conscious of " healthful "

foods Vs. all the lesser ones, and I think about the plight of

animals and other people much more than I did before. I do not think

too many people will soon change to being vegetarian.

 

This is guaranteed so long as so many vegetarians are obese.

I am personally convinced that in spite of the environmental, animal

cruelty, and enough protein for the world concerns few will change

for those reasons. I think the best argument for becoming vegetarian

is improved health...for some of us anyway.

That is my own belief.

Sometimes I just lurch and hope all are well.

Bruce
