Guest guest Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Tiffany! You will love your new lifestyle! It is so freeing to not have to depend upon a piece of meat being the star of your dinner hour, or the definition of your lunch. You will start to feel physically better very soon, and also, the longer you go veggie, the quicker you will get sick of the smell of cooked meats. They give off the smell of uric acid - an acid that is secreted into the muscles of animals as they panic when they are being led to slaughter. It is a terrible smell, and once you go veggie, you will begin to notice that smell, and not want it anywhere near you. Good luck on your journey, and just remember, that you can do vegetarian easy or vegetarian more difficult - it all depends on how much cooking you want to do. Some days I'm in the mood to stay all day in the kitchen whipping up concoctions for dinner and a dessert, other days, I'm glad for quick brown rice and a can of beans that I can heat up and throw on top of the rice, and open a bag of washed greens for a salad. Dinner is ready in 20 minutes. Or heck, go to Wendy's and get a baked potato!!! You will have fun collecting the ingredients for a veggie lifestyle - the shoyu sauce, curry pastes, organic vegetables when you can afford them, almond milk (yum!), and all sorts of other goodies. Just wander up and down the aisles of your local health food store, and ask questions. Most employees are very happy to help a new veggie! And ask questions here - we are ALWAYS ready to help!!! peace, Annie Hello everyone! My name is Tiffany and I'm in the process of becoming a vegetarian.
