vego! (lacto-ovo)

i still have milk, milk products and eggs

few months, but less then a year

surprisingly easy transition too!

why did i do it? it was making me depressed and a little ill thinking about where it came from

Been a vegetarian since I was 15. Still eat meat in some social situations, like when I'm a guest at someone's house and it'd be rude not to. But it's very rare that I do. Don't drink milk, but love cheese--the only reason I could never be vegan. I'm a wine nerd, and cheese goes so well with it.

Oh god!

Come to my house. I'll teach you a vegan household that needs flavor.

I've been vegan for a year.

I've been a vegetarian (lacto ovo) for six months.

to me, meat is generally quite bland. I do still love it but more as something to soak up other flavours. I want to be a vegi but i need to get some comprehensive recipies for a well rounded diet ready first.

I don't think i eat too much meat but i would still like to cut down some. I would like to eat more seafood though. mmmm

Well need some help...

Vegan.

Four years.

Awesome sauce.

*high five*

I was a vegetarian with most dairy eliminated for around seven years. Recently I started eating meat again, everyday. It is taking some getting used to but I feel healthier having a serving of it everyday.

I have really bad food issues so I consider it a very good accomplishment that I found meat in one form that I will eat. I probably will never expand past that one food though and will continue replacing eggs, milk, cheese, etc with substitutes.

I was vegan for a while but my mother found out she was alergic to soy and my dad would have tantrums about the food but I got used to it and figured it was worth it to sacrifice flavor to save an animal's life. I plan to go vegan again. If I ever had kids I would bring them up vegan and if one of them had a condidtion that made it impossible for them to be a vegan I would give them up for adoption.

There are other milk alternatives.

Hazlenut Milk, Almond Milk [actually probably a really good milk to people drinking regular milk, it has the same thickness and creaminess most like], Coconut milk, etc.

My nepphew has Cystic Fibrois and needs animal products in order to survive. He couldn't survive being a vegan. He's a little brat too. My parents say it is because he is in constant pain. I was in constant pain as a child and always told to deal with it. I'd give him up for adoption if he were mine.

But that's your nephew. He doesn't live with you?

Also, you can go vegan.

And your mom can find alternatives to milk.

I mean no offense, but other than your nephew. I see no real need to drink another animal's milk. Cow's milk is made for the baby calf, not a human. Actually milk tolerance is a mutated gene.

Cats don't technically drink cows milk, it gives them complications later in life.

Dogs don't drink cows milk, it also causes them complications.

Soooo...I mean put two and two together, if they can. Why do we think we can and should?

It's a good thing you don't want children; that viewpoint is disgusting. You say you aren't even vegan anymore which is just hypocritical to the max. Humans are naturally omnivores. You can't dictate and control what your children are going to do or be; they are their own persons with individual needs and wants.

Yeah that makes me sick.

I'll make an extra effort to eat enough meat for 3 people from now on.

And, I will eat enough vegetables and delicious vegetarian cookies and cakes for 9 people.
