Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi Marie, Thanks for the welcome. For now it is just me making the change but I'd love to see my family follow suit. It sure would make grocery shopping and meal preparation a little easier!

I've concidered doing this for quite some time but never made the change until now. I am very new... coming up on 24 hrs now without eating meat. Threre were several factors in me finally deciding to do this. Most importantly is my health. I am currently overweight and borderline diabetic. I have no energy. I lost my dear father to colon cancer in April. He was the type that never went to a dr.. never had the suggested exams etc he should have had in order to prevent this from happening to him. I promised him before he passed away that I would see to it that my family and I don't go down the same path. Speaking of family, a little info on myself: I am married to a truck driver and am a stay at home mom to 4 kids, ranging in age from 5 to 14 yrs. We live in Illinois. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and also, learning from you!
