Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi! My name is Meghan, and I just found this list. :-) I am in my early 20s, and I live in Walnut Creek, with my husband and 2 kitties. I have been pescetarian since the beginning of 2001 until now, occasionally eating fish but no other meats. I found out about a week ago that my best girlfriend who lives many miles away went vegan. She is really enjoying being vegan, and I started reading _The Vegan Sourcebook_ on her recommendation. So far, it is fascinating (in a surprising and disturbing kind of way!). I'm already incorporating more vegan meals into my diet, here and there, and I plan to go fully vegan for a trial period of a month, to see how easy it is or not, and what kinds of foods I discover. I just want to finish reading this book first. Why a trial period? Two reasons: 1) I feel more like I'm trying something out rather than making a drastic life change, 2) my meat-eating husband can think of it more as a transition than an immediate life change. My eating habits affect him because of our duel habit of eating out together all the time! We were eating lunch today and he said, " You can't eat cheese pizza or mozzarella sticks if you go vegan... " This is true, but the grease from the pizza made me feel pretty gross, anyway. I know there are vegan pizza choices out there (at least, I think so), but are there soy mozzarella stick options? Anyway, I have a lot to learn, so I'm happy I found this list! I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions!! Also, I'd love to make more friends in the Bay Area (I've only lived here a year), so if anyone ever wants to chat off list, I wholly welcome private emails. :-) Take care, Meghan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
