Hello and Thank you

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

 

Thank you for inviting me to this group. I am not a vegeterian but

would like to learn about this lifestyle and perhaps I just may just

convert to a vegeterian someday.

 

I am currently on a diet and constantly looking for ways to not

incorporate meat into my diet. I am not a big meat eater but I want

to try to stay away from meat and eat healthier. I dont eat junk

food and I dont eat fast food.

 

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

 

Cheryl.

Hi Cheryl, welcome. You should find some decent recipes here, I've

done a lot of cutting and pasting. Dropping meat if you find yourself

going the route is actually not that hard once you discover the wealth

of tasty alternatives.

 

Having been at this about a dozen years, permit me to offer for

consideration the suggestion that vegetarianism rests best on

conviction. If you read on the subject, let yourself be persuaded

more by its inherent ethical rightness instead of what other people

may think, pro or con. Two links I like a lot are these:

 

http://www.peta.org/about/faq.asp and

http://www.askcarla.com/ac/tempfaq/FAQ.asp?CategoryID=5 & Category=Veg

 

Some people think PETA a little forward in its discussion with the

world; without sounding in on that, I like to just read and weigh

ideas for their intrinsic worth. I might not have been a prime

candidate for ditching meat (and finally going vegan too) when I first

was exploring the idea in and out, but I found everything eventually,

from theistic to health to just about any other angle finally fell

through with time and learning.

 

Hope you enjoy the board :-)

 

 

 

You might find the following items interesting from an environmental

angle too --
