It is indeed a great win-win situation from any way one looks at it, and I know personally now going on 5 years, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Never felt better physically or emotionally knowing that I am supporting my body in the best way, while supporting the planet too :) Hi Jennifer,

That is so wonderful to hear. It is indeed a great win-win situation from any way one looks at it, and I know personally now going on 5 years, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Never felt better physically or emotionally knowing that I am supporting my body in the best way, while supporting the planet too :)

What happens...The baby plays with the bunny and eats the apple. Our primal instinct indeed is far different than what humans made it out to be today. Anyhow good luck on your journey, and do let me know if you have any questions or need any kind of support :) @ ROBIN – Hi Robin, great story… :) It reminds me too of the story of the baby who you give a bunny and an apple.

I remember reading a book where the author asked how we would react if we saw a squirrel cross our path in a forest - would we say yum and want to eat it? Probably not - we are not designed to eat meat. I haven't given it up entirely, but most likely will soon - R Hi Evita – the pic of the veggies looks great!

When I found out I was really pleased. In fact as I recently learned so were most of the world's greatest thinkers and philosophers. Pythagoreas is considered the "father of vegetarianism" and so was Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison and so many more! Great I am going over for a read! I love that statement Akemi, "with so many benefits, how can we not?" @ JULIE - Hi Julie, thank you and you are absolutely right, many people still want to see hard core facts and most often from scientific studies to be convinced, regardless of how those studies are done. But here is a list of resources: 1. "Becoming Vegetarian" by Melina and Davis 2. "The China Study" by Campbell and Campbell 3. A Delicate Balance (movie) 4. Vegetarian Diet Explained from WHF http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=diet&dbid=6 5. Many vegetarian, environmental pieces of literature (I have read so many of them, at this point it has become almost common knowledge to me, but I know many people still want proof, so I hope these books and sources can shed enough light.) The fact about living longer came directly from the first book. It is written by 2 renowned dieticians. But also check out these links: http://www.animalsaustralia.org/media/in_the_news.php?article=353 http://www.nutraingredients.com/Research/Vegetarians-live-longer-says-study http://www.vegetarian-nutrition.info/updates/vegetarian_diets_health_benefits.php @ AKEMI – I know till recently me too!
