Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I posted this before, accidentally putting my veg date as 7-25-04. That was a typo. The correct date is listed below! I also added to the post. I'd like to introduce myself... My name is Jeff, and I am 21 years old. I first went vegetarian on 7-25-03, and was vegan within 1 week of that. I saw PETA's " Meet your Meat " , and that was the end of my medium-rare dead carcass dinners. I have not deliberately eatten a piece of meat since that date (some beans I had a resteraunt had pork and I didn't realize it untill I had eaten several motuhfuls. It didn't stay down!) For the year prior to that, I struggled with the idea of being vegetarian. I'm a Wiccan Witch, my religion has a rule - " An it harm none, do what ye will " (Do whatever you want, so long as you cause no harm). Duh, stop killing animals! I don't know why it took me a year to finally grasp that idea, but at least I got it. I am still stunned by the garbage I used to eat. I am vegan for ethical reasons. I do care about my body, but that's not why I'm vegan. LOL, my father, who nearly fell down laughing at me for being vegan last I saw him, recently had a major heart attack. Yeah, so I'm the crazy one, ok. Well, thank you for inviting me to your group. As soon as I can, I'll get that recipe for my vegan chocolate cheese cake that even had dairy eaters doing that " oooh, it's Sooooo goooood " moan, LOL! A little about me: Like I said, I'm a Wiccan Witch. We try to tune in with nature, that's what we're all about. I don't tolerate discrimination of any kind, and I speak up against it when I'm able. I love helping where I can. Humans, animals, doesn't matter, if I can help, I will. I share my living space with a WONDERFUL cat, whom I love to pieces! (Even if he did pee on my floor!) Most poeople would consider me eccentric (or weird, depending on who's point of view), and I don't care. I'm happy, I try to make other's happy, I don't see a problem. My most frequently eaten food is spagettie with marinara (No meat, no cheese, plenty of crushed hot pepper), and my favorite food is the Vegan Citris Spare Ribs at the China Pan in Farmington CT! That food is better than... well, I don't think I can mention that here. I look forward to my experience here! =) Blessed Be, Merry Meet! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
