Are you a vegetarian?
I’m wondering how many of the people reading this blog are vegetarians. Are you one? And if not, do you want to become one?
I just found a web page about making the transition – Becoming Vegetarian: “Life” Without Meat – which may help anyone thinking about dropping meat from their diet.
It mentions soy. I personally am no longer using soy because most soybeans are now genetically modified. Too bad so many store-bought vegetarian foods are formulated with soy. I stick to plain homecooked food most of the time… beans and rice, burritos, pasta, rice and veggies, soup — simple things like that.
If you are a vegetarian, please tell us what your favorite food is!
Im not a vegetarian either. I have many friends who are and they actually love it. I myself dont think I could get rid of my meat!

Hi ! I am pure vegetarian. I want to say that we can get all the nutrition from vegetable. So, there is no need of eating meat. But there is a true that if non-vegetarian stop eating meat, we won’t have enough grain for vegetarian.

I’ve been vegan for about 11 years now (was vegetarian for a couple of years before that). I must say that my health is better than it every was when I ate meat and dairy products and I’m also happier knowing that I’m helping the environment and not inflicting any suffering on animals too. Each to their own, but being vegan hasa been a great lifestyle choice for me personally.

Forgot to say in my previous comment that my favourite vegan foods are many.. but a few of them are…
Sweet thai chilli vegetable stir fry with rice
Garlicky herb pasta and fresh salad
Bombay potato & rice

Hi,
I have been a vegetarian since I was 18. I am now 45. I have low cholesterol, low blood pressure and in overall excellent health. There are so many delicious recipes. My 2 older sons are also vegetarian by choice. My youngest enjoys meat occasionally. I just stumbled upon your blog and am enjoying reading about your adventures. Happy holidays

The typical vegan diet includes Oatmeal,Stir-fried vegetables,Cereal,Whole-grain toast
,100% fruit juices,Peanut butter, nuts and peanuts
and also chickpeas and three bean salad Fruit,Pasta,Fruit smoothies.
The Vegan Diet is not necessarily a diet, but rather, a lifestyle. Making a decision to be a Vegan is one that creates awareness and promotes responsibility.
