Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 hi to all... i've been veggie since may 5, 1981...that puts me into my 27th year...since i started, the support for a meat-free lifestyle has progressed so fast...well, at least in most parts of the country/usa...i remember some of my early homemade veggie burgers were hardly fit for human consumption...and only my best friends would eat a whole one without grimacing ...today, i'm seeing so many new people joining the ranks because the food is so good...especially if you cook it yourself...oh, when it comes to burgers, i now eat boca... i am mostly vegan that is unless i have to eat in a restaurant...then i allow dairy and eggs...i'm adamant about a meatless diet but not so much about some animal products in my diet, like i just mentioned...still, no leather though...it's so hard to avoid all animal products since they are ubiquitous in the western world's environment, even in our automobiles...and much more... my reasoning for going veggie was primarily for spiritual reasons...basically that i wanted to survive without imposing violence on any other creature...since then, i've discovered a massive health benefit for doing it...however, i'm not much of an advocate for any of these points of view...and i'm only mentioning this info here from an FYI point of view... take care, david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 That was my sole reason too...the health benefits are an added bonus.? Twenty years ago I picked up a copy of Diet For A New America and after reading it I said I just can't continue talking out of both sides of my mouth...professing love for animals yet continuing to eat them...just didn't sit well with me.? I've never looked back. Welcome to the group! my reasoning for going veggie was primarily for spiritual reasons...basically that i wanted to survive without imposing violence on any other creature...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 that was a big issue for me as well...not telling myself the truth about myself and my mission on the planet...just getting that straight was a defining moment in my life...and i'm with you...looking back was never an option... i loved that book as well...when i met john, i thanked him for writing the book and praised him for his courage...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I sent my copy to a member last year. I see it all the time in the thrift shops. See if the library has it. You can also get a used copy from Amazon.com or half.com for a very low price.
