Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Dear All, I have been reading all the email you people write, thought to write what I feel. I have been a vegetarian for all my life, not a personal choice when I was a born till I started to live on my own, but because its the choice my parents and their parents and I guess their parents made too.. Now when I can choose what I want, I am still appreciating that was a good choice my parents made for all the goodreason you people mentioned and I never felt the need to change!! When I read about all you people why you have chosen to be Vegetarian or Vegans from what you were before..I feel you all ought to be appreciated and honored as much as the soldiers on the front lines who are risking their lives, while you all are tring to save even the miniature. Hence I salute you all. Takecare Satish --- Tammy <govegan wrote: > Hi all, > > I talked to many people at our booth at We the > Planet last week.
