Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Melanie and welcome to the group. Thank you for answering our questionnaire, I'm forwarding your answers to the group. All are welcome here, from strict vegetarians and vegans to those who, like you, are in transition or even just interested, all we ask is that everyone respects the views of those more dedicated, in particular by not discussing animal products or posting recipes which contain these. I think it's wise for you to contemplate this move both on behalf of your husband and for yourself. You ask for help with what is appropriate and what is not for a vegetarian, well if you read our mails you will get an idea of the matters that concern us. Maybe someone can give a specific answer to that question! Best, Piers (co-owner with Pat) Melanie's answers: 1. Which description best fits your situation? - I am in transition to vegetarian or vegan 2. What is your main reason for choosing a vegetarian or vegan way of life? - Personal health, well-being and/or weight loss 3. Is your household totally vegetarian? If not, do you find you need to produce non-vegetarian meals some of the time? No, it is not. In the process of trying to go vegetarian. Not sure where I will land....as far as eating eggs and that. I will probably be fixing a few things that are considered a no no for vegetarians, such as fish, but nothing like we are now. Plan on doing away totally with red meats. May eat some chicken on rare occasions. 4. Do you like hot and spicy food? If not, what is your favourite kind of food? I am in the middle of transition, I do like spicy, but not sure where exactly I will land. 5. Is there anything else you would like to tell us (such as your country or region, age group, household pets/companion animals, hobbies, activities, interests, indoor and outdoor sports, etc.)? Let's hear it! I am a married woman. Husband recently had a heart attack, told to change his diet. I figure that from what the doc told me it would not hurt for me to make the changes in my life as well. My name is Melanie, and my husband's name is Mike (Smokey is his nickname). And NOW, please sign with your name or a nickname so that we will know you are! Thank You for having me! Melanie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
