Hi everyone,

 

I'm Shelley and I'm new to the list :-)

 

I always have not been a huge meat eater, I have always prefered

vegetables to flesh and even more so now. Road kill sends me into

tears and living in a farming community is also tough. I'm from

Alberta Canada and recently we have had the BES problems and all

around me it seems to be a beef feast. All the business's in my small

town have beef on a bun, burgers and the likes of that to promote how

good the beef is now. The smell turns me off. I come from a family of

huge eaters, and here at work going for lunch is a problem with my co-

workers. I have been asked what was wrong with me that I don't eat

meat, told that I should eat beef for the protein and that basically

I'm just weird.

 

I decided about 4 months ago that I was done with meat and have been

trying the beef fake burgers and fake ground beef for cooking. I have

tried to adapt my present recipes for use of these products and so

far have failed on some of them.

 

My partner of 26 years is Buddist and doesn't touch meat at all so at

home it's much easier.

 

I would love to be able to find some new recipes that would help me

on my journey to reach my goal of never craving meat again for I

admit every now and then I do crave it and the smell of chicken or

roast turkey will send my mouth watering.

 

Well that's enough about me. Thanks for allowing me to join the group.

 

Shelley
