[TinaFabulous]

besides im lactose, its not hard to cut milk, i dont drink it anyway

So are you vegan or vegetarian? You can get cheese that is suitable for vegetarians with non animal rennet; papa john’s pizza cheese is suitable for vegetarians apparently. I have been vegetarian for most of my life on and off early on but I haven't touched meat or meat products now for 7 years. I just wish that American food manufacturers would adopt the British vegetarian symbol that is placed on all vegetarian foods in the UK.

I am wanting to swich to non-dairy products like going to soy milk and stuff. The movie was so sad. 2 or my friends and I watched the movie together and they are both becoming vegans now like me. One of them drinks an egg shake every day but they don't get the eggs from the store they know a lady who has chikens who they get eggs from. The chikens are very well cared for they have 10 or somthing like that in a huge yard as big as my friends front yard which is huge.

Treen-are you a vegetarian/vegan right now? I got confused and didn't get it.

Thanks for sharing, Treen! I feel the same way about the animals being treated right, then there would be no problem. The thing is, it isn't right for us to torture these animals. I would have no problem eating them if I knew they were properly taken care for and humanely killed.

MyBabyMu, Treen is a vegetarian. She just explained that if you're vegetarian, you're still contributing to some slaughter, etc. and that she wasn't ready to be a vegan yet.

Thanks for sharing the video! This is awesome, I had no idea so many people felt the same way I do about this. Thanks, it really helps!

Ok I think we should a vegitarian logfor people trying to become vegetarians or who are vegetarians. That way we can write down what we eat once in a while so other people can post food ideas or recepies that vegetarians can use. I will start a new thread, for it if people think this sounds ok.

[mncavylover]

Ok, great! I thought of that as well, but I guess I didn't get to it fast enough!

ugg oh... Today I caved... TWICE, see my sister came home from college today, and I really wanted to eat with the family, I was starving so I tried to scoup the tetrazini and not the chicken bits in it, however I know I wasnt successful. Later I ended up ordering chicken nuggets before church, and get this I got THE worst stumach ache ever afterwards, so now I cant eat meat for some reason HURRAY!!!! Now I wont have to worry about caving, Ill just rember how much my tummy hurt . My mom knows I want to stay away from meat, because its making me sick, which is great because thats less explaining for me as to y im not eating meat anymore. We're ganna go shopping sometime soon for other food things for me to eat, probably soy milk and lots of veggies... And all because meat gives me tummy aches, and milk just tasts aweful to me no matter what the fat level but I need calcum... Wow im going veggie without hardly an explanation! amazing...

Tina, before today how long has it been since you've eaten meat?

[TinaFabulous]

I was just starting, I only got to about 30 hours, which is a really good start for me because Ive never tried this before and our kitchen isnt really veggitarian friendly

[mncavylover]

Oh yeah, granola is such good stuff!

Tina, you can do it! Whenever I get the faintest liking for meat, I think of the videos on peta. That makes the appetite go away. Today is TWO WEEKS! YAY!

And... the funny part is, we still don't have any fake meat or anything. I looked for veggie burgers, and they didn't even have those. Sad.

I need to find a store for veggies.

I've also never tried this before. I'm taking vitamins daily now, and we have some calcium supp.s as well. If you don't want to drink milk, just take one each day. Even if you think you're getting enough vitamins and stuff, just starting out I think it's a great idea to use a multivitamin daily. You never know how much you're getting for sure.

2 weeks... how many hours is that? 14x24... 196!!! Wow. I'm proud of myself.

Even though it's not true veggie, since I'm eating fish. I can't just cut it out without having a fake meat, though, because I run so much! I need the protein, that's really hard for me right now. Fish is tasting deader and deader to me though. I mean, you know it's dead all the time, but unless you pay attention it doesn't hit you. Since now I don't eat fish too often, I can't really say it tastes all that good.

Did you know that babies don't like meat? It tastes dead to them. I think that's the way it should be.

[My Baby Mu]

I didn't know that. I have no idea how long it has been for me, but I think it has been over 390 hours. Go me.


It wasn't hard for me to give up meat-I hardly ate any in the first place.

[mncavylover]

Yay! Great job, Mu!

[loves2travel]

great job, everyone!

[Piglet]

Wow, thats fantastic baby mu and mn. I think I'm going to start today. I made my mum buy lots and lots of quorn (meat substitue). I'm a veggie on sundays anyway, so 6 more days during the week won't hurt. .
