Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi everyone, I have been a vegetarian for almost 4 years now. My husband about 9 months ago was caught eating meat so we agreed he would eat meat when he was away from home and at resturants with me. Our 12 year old has expressed he would like to eat shrimp again. I have to be honest I would like fish occasionally but our 8 year old is a serious activist and doesn't want it. I have noticed people stopped inviting us to dinner, although we all know vegetarian cooking is simple. We are at a crossroad I can't force this lifestyle on anyone, nor do I want family members to sneak around eating meat, or making comments at resturants like " I hate paying these prices for vegetables and so few choices " but it is painful we don't all want to continue this healthy lifestyle. I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this in there homes. On a seperate note, I have noticed memory problems since becoming a vegetarian does anyone know what nutrient I am missing?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have been vegetarian going on almost three years now. When I first became vegetarian I really didn't mind if my hubby ate meat. As long as he cooked it himself. After about a year I really wanted him to make the change and tried to force it on him. Many people told me to stop pushing him and let him decide for himself. I am proud to say that as of January of this year he has given up meat. Good cooking, education about factory farming and a few farm pigs that he just loves he made the choice on his own. I tell him all the time how proud I am of him for going vegetarian and sticking with it. So don't force it upon the family. Just cooking really well and educate when you can.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Unless of course you are like me and crave McFries for 2 days, indulge in it, then have to face your doc about why your BP went nuts. LOL (while strictly speaking it was vegetarian I don't recommend it the smell of fast food after that will make you I'll for days.) . I'm craving blueberry waffles now anyway. LOL Wonder what tomorrows craving will be.... -Tee Sent from my iPhone On Dec 8, 2009, at 10:46 AM, thelilacflower wrote: Absolutely! 30 yrs ago there were slim pickings for vegetarians in the way of cookbooks and alternative products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
