New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi all...I'm new to this group, but not to veganism. Started as a

vegetarian 24 years ago and evolved into veganism about 9 years ago. I

was very happy with that decision and have never looked back. I

decided to join this group in the hopes that I can might find a place

where I fit in. I became vegetarian for animal-rights reasons (I love

animals...and not on my plate!) but have found it to be such a great

health benefit, as well as environmentally friendly.

 

I reside in the forest of the Sierra's in California with my vegan

husband, Pat, and our vegetarian dog, Jasmine. (Yes...I get plenty of

flack about that, but I did a lot of research before making that

decision!) Jasmine is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd who was raised

vegetarian and she actually doesn't like meat. She has proven that

time and time again as people have offered her meat items that she

turns her nose away from. But she does love tofurky, cottage cheese,

yogurt and avocados...and Agility. She is my third vegetarian dog. My

other two lived to be very old and were healthy their entire lives. In

fact, during their lives, people were amazed at their actual

ages...including a couple of vets that I took them to. Each dog is a

story of its own.

 

So I am excited to see what this group has to offer, and what I can

contribute from my knowledge banks and recipe books. I must say that

before I became vegetarian so many years ago...I never enjoyed eating.

But since I've been a vegan...I can't wait for my next meal. Eating

vegan has become a joy.

 

Peace to all,

Meb Harris
