New to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi, I've been a vegetarian for 3 years, and I'm gradually moving

toward veganism.

 

I'm 51, live in Madison WI, have 2 adult kids (21 & 24, both still

living at home), and work full-time. I started eating vegetarian

partly because I'd always wanted to (a divorce finally allowed me the

freedom to eat what *I* wished), and partly for health reasons. I'm 62

pounds lighter than I was 3 years ago, and my health has improved.

 

There are three things I'm concerned about in transitioning to a vegan

lifestyle:

~knowing what foods have " hidden " animal products in them

~figuring out how to eliminate those foods as well as the obvious

sources (dairy, eggs) from my diet

~choosing food at restaurants

 

I'm hoping that being in this group will help me learn from your

experiences & knowledge. I'll also contribute when I can. :-)

 

Thanks for letting me join.

Sue
