Welcome to Gaia! ::

******** if i know. even as a vegan all i ever eat is junk food. just take some vitamins.

skittles aren't technically vegitarian, because of gelatin, but i didn't stop eating gelatin either until a year or so ago.

good things about being vegan: fruit smoothies, red vines, dark chocolate, cinnamon life, celery and peanut butter, JUICES!!!, rice, stif fry, really elaborate salads, soup, bread, hummus, tabouli, burritos, chocolate soy milk

good things about being vegetarian that i miss a lot: pizza, lots of candy things, lots of store made things (waffles and such)

being vegan's really tough and i don't think it's the best decision i could have made at this point, since i'm generally stressed anyways and worrying about my food is probably the last thing i need.

i really just needed to let that out. i'm not sure whether it's relevant or not. but yeah, don't let anybody scare you into thinking that there's not going to be much for you to eat. eating vegetarian is really easy.

I'm working my way to being vegetarian. But it's so ******** hard when my parents are on that atkin's diet where they eat meat for the main item. It sucks. But I rarely it red meat and stick more to the white meat. Maybe when I get to college I'll turn full vegetarian.

I tired to stop eating beef but it didn't work gonk . But now I'm trying to stop eating pork since it's nasty s**t to start with 3nodding I hate all pork products including bacon

theres also a health food store in dover right by 6th st. right off of main st. i would never eat fake bacon. i cant even stand the taste of real bacon.

i hadn't eaten a pig product since 2nd grade, then last year got a little curious and tryed sausage, it still tastes disgusting and am still staying far away from it.

what im worried about is getting fat, cause i hear if all i eat is pasta and s**t thats what will happen. so im trying to do my best up at school right now with other stuff. fruits, veggie burgers, salads, and candy. it dosent seem hard at all to me though, i always thought it would be so tough till i actually tryed it. ive been asking people who have been vegetarians for a while diet tips and how to say healthy with avoiding meat and have been getting a lot of good advice. they also told me after a few months even looking at meat ill probobly get grossed out by it.

Just remember to not just eat a lot of one thing. It's super hard sometimes to not have a diet entirely made of starches. Meals should have lots of different colors, cause that means more different vitamins and minerals! Try not to also allow your diet to revolve around nothing but mass-produced soy products. Oh yeah and vegweb.org is yr new best friend!

thanks for the site. im going to make an appointment with the school food person about a vegetarian diet. because we dont have much besides salad, pasta, and veggie burgers.
