Welcome, Burdette,

I hope we can answer your questions and help you make the transition. It's

very rewarding to free yourself of animal dependency. Congratulations on

making the decision to eat less meat.

 

How many children do you have, and how old are they?

 

I have a 3.5 yo boy, he's been veg*n all his life, I've been vegan for just

over a year after 11 years of vegetarianism. Once I made the switch, I

never have looked back.

 

Let us know how we can help!
