I went vegetarian for about 3 wks at the beginning of the year. But then I was going through a stressful time and ended up giving into my cravings for Chik-fil-a chicken nuggets. I'm in the process of trying to go veg. again. The hardest thing I find is wanting to go out to eat with friends and the place they want to go doesn't have anything vegetarian that I will eat.
I really like the Morning Star "fake meat" products. I LOVE the Buffalo 'chikn' nuggets and the crumbles. I've made tacos with the crumbles and they were great. I'm about to try the Hamburger Helper Lasagna w/ the crumbles instead of beef.
Right now I'm just concentrating on going vegetarian, but after I do that well for awhile I plan on at least trying to go vegan.
My main reason for going vegetarian is because vegetarians have 40% of the cancer rate meat eaters do. Knowing that going vegetarian could reduce my likely hood of getting cancer by 60% is major factor since cancer (esp. colon cancers) runs in my family. I also love animals and have always felt bad eating them.
