I was raised to be a meat-eater. That is simply how most people in the U.S.

eat. When I was growing up, I don't think I probably ate quite as much meat as

some people. A year or so ago, I read a book called The China Study. The book

made a great case for why we should not consume meat or dairy, including all of

the diseases that it leads to. It was very convincing and I decided that I

would give up meat and dairy. Once I stopped eating meat, I didn't crave it at

all. Now that it has been about 15 months, I don't even like the smell of meat

cooking. I eat fruit, veggies and whole grains. Occasionally, I will eat

something that contains eggs or milk, but that's usually at a social gathering

and I do it to be polite and participate. Feel free to ask me more questions if

you like.

I do have questions, cause this is new to me also. I am eliminating meat and

trying to do so with dairy and eggs...but wondering if there are any good

recipes for a cheese type subsitute that doesn't contain soy
