What made you all interested in being vegetarians and vegans?

November 10, 2009

Hi,

Seeing as these groups are really quiet, let's get some action going on them

again. Tell us what made you interested in becoming vegetarians or vegans?

I have been interested in it since 1989 when I became a fan of Morrissey, who is

one of Britain's most famous vegetarians. I read his book " Morrissey: In His

Own Words " where he talked about it in one section and started getting active

with it. Although my practice of it has been rather patchy at best, I

understand the logic behind it - the economical connotations, the environmental

connotations, and the religious/spiritual connotations. I realise that people

get into it for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that

they cannot abide cruelty and abuse of animals.

I am looking to start it again because I've been having gastric troubles, and a

friend of mine emailed me today and said that at the age of 38 I ought to start

relying on eating more fruits, pulses, and vegetables because my body can't

handle heavy foods. So I'm going to take her advice.

I've also got several vegetarian cookbooks in my collection like " Back To Eden "

by Jethro Kloss, " The Higher Taste " by the Bhaktividanta Book Trust, " The

Spiritual Diet " by Gabriel Cousens, " Your Heart: Your Planet " by Dr. Harvey

Diamond, and " Good And Healthy " by Colin Spencer and would like to share some of

the recipes from them on these groups, plus encourage other members to do the

same.

Best wishes,

Dario Western
