Hi, I'm Denise and I've been lurking for awhile. I'm working toward being

meatless, but being soy intolerant limits me in a few ways. At this time, I've

given up all but some poultry. I'm looking for alternatives to soy and,

unfortunately, most of the vegetarian frozen products aren't. I've tried some of

the recipes I've seen on the list and I've enjoyed them. Thanks to all who

contribute.

Hi Denise, welcome to the group. Have you tried Quorn? It's great, and no

soy.

Hi Joyce! I'm pretty new here myself, but have found everyone to be so helpful

and friendly. I think you will like it here. I'm with you on the treatment of

animals, and have stopped wearing make-up because they test it on rabbits to see

if it blinds them. I've learned to like the way I look without makeup on, and

my face doesn't feel all dirty with all the makeup I used to put on. Animal

issues are my biggest reason for going vegetarian - I am now trying to go vegan

- which is pretty easy for me - I am lactose intolerant, so I don't drink milk,

I use soy milk, or rice milk. And butter - I've found a vegan source of

margarine called Earth's Balance that tastes just fine to me. And I bought my

first packages of soy cheddar cheese and soy mozzarella cheese, to see how they

taste to me. And I don't particularly like eggs anyway, never ate them as a

meal, just used them in baking, and I have replaced them with EnerG egg

replacer, no problem. You will get to the point where the smell of meat cooking

will nauseate you, because at the moment of slaughter, the animal's glands

secrete urea, and that gets into their muscles and produces a particular nasty

smell, that you hadn't noticed before, but you WILL notice it the longer you

stay on the vegetarian lifestyle. And for me, that is going vegan, which seems

to be the easiest way. Good luck and good for you for choosing this humane AND

healthy lifestyle!

peace,

Annie

I want to introduce myself. My name is Joyce.I just started a vegitarian

eating plan.I have been on it just a week.My husband doesn't understand at

all.Hope to get to know some of you and share recipies. I don't want to be a

part of the way animals are treated.It makes me sick! I also think this way of

eating is healthier.

Hi: Obediently posting as requested. I just joined because I want to eat

healthier and have recently found red meat and pork to be gross. I mean, the

cooking smell sickens me. Then if I eat any I get nauseous. I also would like

to learn how to cook tofu so I find it acceptable. I have already seen quite a

few delicious-looking recipes posted on this group. Thanks!
