[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I'm a new member and would like to introduce myself. I

have only recently become a vegetarian, although I had been

interested

in it for several years.

 

Becoming aware of the horrors of factory farming, and the hormones

and

antibiotics fed to livestock, I have decided for my health to avoid

any animal products whatsoever. However, I consider myself a

lacto-vegetarian at this point because I am still consuming small

amounts of dairy. I was very surprised that so many of our

foods that we buy at the supermarket that we think are

vegetarian contain animal products.

 

I'm learning a whole new way to eat and to cook and am thoroughly

enjoying my new lifestyle. It's also wonderful to be able to share

with others.

 

I posted this question on another board but would like to hear your

comments: Is soy dangerous? I've read that the estrogren found in soy

can cause cancer and that the processing of soy is almost as

unhealthy

as dairy.
