Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hello, Vicky, and welcome to Vegetarian Spice! You'll learn lots about vegetarianism and veganism here, and unless you go for the junk food (and that exists too) you should find yourself healthier on a diet that has no animal flesh in it. So you are well on your way to a healthier lifestyle. That's great. First steps are the hardest, but you've already made yours This isn't of course a 'health group' but we do like to live a healthy life, so you will find wonderful recipes in our Files (access from the left-hand menu on our home page). There's no animal flesh or products in any of them. I see you like hot and spicy food, which is a good thing because that's our major theme here, although members do post their favourite non-spicy recipes, including desserts, from time to time. For myself, I'm mad for spices, and especially love many Asian-style dishes - lots of those in our Files too. So you will be growing, as much as possible, your own food? That's exciting, especially if you haven't done it before. What do you plan to grow this year? I'm always interested in these things, although we don't have a garden in our high-rise city condo. We go to the various produce stalls in the downtown market each day to to buy fresh fruit and vegetables for our meals - good but not as good as picking them out of your own garden! We look forward to hearing from you - your Questionnaire is below so that others can get to know you. Best, Pat (Co-owner with Piers) THE QUESTIONS (and there are no right or wrong answers here!): 1. Which description best fits your situation? I am interested in learning about both vegetarian and vegan. I am looking for a more healthy diet. 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? Yes 4. Do you like hot and spicy food? If not, what is your favourite kind of food? Yes 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 currently living Northeastern Arkansas. My husband and I are in our mid 50s. We are wanting to try to raise most of our food.
