Hi everyone :-)

 

I'm new here also -- who DID think up that " Carrots on the Barbie "

catchy slogan?! LOL

My name is Casey, and I haven't eaten beef or pork in 24 years this

June! Yikes! I've only recently cut out the poultry, fish, and dairy,

although I'm finding myself reluctant to give up eggs.

I was spurred to complete my vegetarian makeover, when my joints became

so painful, I felt like I was 94! (I'm 37)

Already I've saved a few recipes, read a great article, and am

considering making the move to get my dog on a vegetarian diet -- what a

terrific list!!

My dh and sons are NOT vegetarian, which probably explains why I didn't

go vegetarian until just recently.

I lost 40 lbs. 2 years ago on the McDougall diet - vegan + no oil diet -

and someone recently told me potatoes make you fat. Riiiiiight. I had

never felt better in my life! Now I'm exercising more, too, to try to

raise my HDL.

Gee, I guess that about covers me. You probably know more about me now

than my family!!

Thanks again for such a great list!
