my intro - from Rene

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone! My name is Rene and I'm new to this group. I am working

on becoming vegetarian and I'm hoping to find some support in this

group. This is not my first time being a veggie. I was a vegetarian

for about at year in college (early 1980's ... don't remember why I

stopped) and then a few years ago I went full-fleged vegan for two

months. I think that was too drastic of a change, so this time I am

easing into it. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I do eat a lot of

dairy, so I think I will start with slowly taking the meat out first.

Then later I can tackle the more difficult dairy and cheese products.

My reasons for becoming vegetarian are for health, animal rights and

the environment. I'm looking forward to participating in this group!
