Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi, My name is Candice. I'm new here. I'm not the world's best vegetarian. I was a vegetarian from age 8 to age 14, until I was sent to a religious school that believed vegetarianism was a sin (I know it sounds weird but it's true), and I was forced to eat meat for three years. I've been off and on since graduating 11 years ago. I have fallen off the wagon a lot, but I'm looking to take the final jump and reclaim my beliefs, so this group is a good thing for me. I mostly do this because I love animals, but you can't deny the health benefits. Feeding a husband and children, you have to care about the helath benefits too. Well, I hope you all have a good day!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Welcome Candice, No such thing as the " World's 'best' Vegetarian " . I don't think anyway. I am sure there are many who are great but 'best' well that is questionable. So you are among the " great " LOL Sorry about your experience at school but chalk it up as a lesson well learned and forgive. People do the best they can with the information they have at the time. In cooking class when I was 13 the class project for the day was broiled steak cooked rare. When I saw the blood I refused to eat it and was given an F for that grade period. So I believe your story . Anyway you will love this group. No one will try to force to to eat anything..LOL Smiles and hugs Deanna in Colorado - In , " Candice " <bizzle8585 wrote: > > Hi, > > My name is Candice. I'm new here.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Candice, That does seem weird. Some religions even state that you are supposed to be vegetarian. A lot of Hindus and all Jains are vegetarian. Sikhs are supposed to be vegetarian. Jesus and A lot of Christian saints fasted and were thus vegetarian temporarily. I am wondering if St. Francis of Assisi was vegetarian because he loved animals so much. I am sure there are quite a few others. GB , " Candice " <bizzle8585 wrote: > > Hi, > > My name is Candice.
