Introduction

[Guest guest]

Greetings All, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to this group. Since I am not sure what you might want to know, I will keep it simple. I am 38 years old, in a committed relationship of 13 yrs., and newly turned vegetarian (3 months). I am interested in possibly going vegan and thought this might be a good group to try to get more info. My partner is not so sure about the idea of going vegan, but will let me explore it if I want. I am college educated with concentrations or degrees in Fine Arts - AA, Religion - BA, Mental Health - concentration, Theology/Ethics 21 hr Masters Certificate, Web Technologies/Computers concentration and a MA in Teaching - Elementary Ed. and looking for a teaching job as we speak.

 

I went vegetarian because I was tired of getting sick every time I ate meat. I am not now nor have I ever been a health nut. I need to exercise and loose weight, but am working on liking myself for who I am. I am finding it not that hard at all to be vegetarian and after contemplating what animals go through to provide milk, cheese, and eggs, I am not sure if I really want to keep eating these products. I have also been reading a lot of Buddhist texts and that is also pushing me towards the possibility of going vegan. I am also non-traditional in my faith, which also lends towards a more vegetarian/vegan lifestyle as well.

 

I hope this is enough for an into. I hope to get to know more about veganism through this list.

 

Blessings,
