Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi Everyone. I just joined the group and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth, I am 23 and married to an American GI. We are stationed in Northern Italy now and will be here until 2007/2008. We have one son who is 4. I recently became a vegetarian ( i sometimes use dairy products and eggs but not ery often and i am trying to not all together), I decided to be a veg. for health reasons and ethical. my husband is however not and will never be. And that is partly why i joined the group. My husband and I sometimes agruee over my food choices and the fact that i want our son to be a veg. he is when he is at home, but the school here has no veg option. Anyway, thats really all i wanted to say. Talk to you all soon Elizabeth Elizabeth <a href= " http://lilypie.com " ><img src= " http://lilypie.com/pic/050911/9mrf.jpg " alt= " Lilypie Baby Pic " border= " 0 " /><img src= " http://b4.lilypie.com/mg5Up2 " alt= " Lilypie Baby Ticker " border= " 0 " /></a> FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi, Elizabeth, and welcome! I think you'll find plenty of support here. I wonder if vegetarian grocery shopping is difficult in Italy. It is difficult when your partner doesn't share your dietary/ethical views. The key is compromise, as you well know. When your son is older, he will most likely make the choice to declare his own vegetarianism. Many members of this group can attest to that. I thought my husband would never go along with my vegetarianism, let alone the rest of my family, but 11 years into my journey, they are all *almost* veg themselves, and our 2 year old has been veg*n since birth! Things could change for you too. Blessings, Nikki , Elizabeth Ster <veggiemama05> wrote: > > Hi Everyone. > I just joined the group and I wanted to introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi. Shopping isnt too hard...but any " special " things i want (like egg replacer etc) i have to order online. my husband is depoying here soon so i will have some time to get the kid to be a 100% veg (i am still working on the school). but thanks for all the support so far. you all are making this easier! lilmunkydunk <lilmunkydunk wrote: Hi, Elizabeth, and welcome!
