| Just Joined :) Hi everyone! I'm new here. I've been vegan a year now (started as a resolution last year) and feel like I will be vegan for the rest of my life :) I joined because I realized I needed more vegan interactions in my life! There is a group in my city that hosts vegan events, but only infrequently and I have yet to make any close friends. I consider myself pretty lucky in that most of my friends and family have been supportive of me. My mom actually became vegetarian last June! What has been on my mind most recently is the wish that everyone I love could be vegan... I know that will probably never happen, but I can still hope haha. I have friends who say they love animals, but continue to eat meat even after being told where it comes from. I feel especially sad that my boyfriend of almost 3 years cannot see the cruelty he is adding to... I understand that I am the one who changed, but wish there was something I could do to get him to also change. He cares deeply for the environment so I try to appeal to that side of him. But I feel like he and other people do not fully understand the pain and horrors animals must go through to end up on their plates, otherwise surely they would give it up? Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing... Anyways, that was my little rant. I'm interested in seeing what I can add and take away from this forum, and hope to meet people who share my thoughts and beliefs :) Post Date: 05/08/15, Replies: 3 | ||
| Just saying Hi! Hi, I’m Steve, been a working my way up to being a vegan for 35 years, finally stopped eating and using animal products last year. First, mainly for health reasons, then for animal rights and environmentalism. Have become so enthusiastic that I created a website, wedigfood.com, to become throughly involved in the “movement”, see it as part of my involvement with Buddhism. Was shocked by the far reaching and horrible effect the non-vegan food industry has on our planet. Post Date: 09/20/15, Replies: 1 | ||

| lonely vegan looking for other vegans Hi! I'm Sarah from The Netherlands and I'm looking for vegans to befriend. Doesn't matter where you come from, as long as you're a vegan. I have no vegan friends and would love to be able to talk to other vegans and maybe hang out. (& yes I know I used the word vegan a lot) Little bit about me: My name is Sarah, I'm 18 years old and atm I'm really bored. I like listening to music, horror stuff, gaming and would love to travel a lot. I'm an open-minded person, so don't be scared talking to me, I won't judge.

| Looking for a place in CT Hello Veg-friends! Last week I suddenly relocated from France to Connecticut. I NEED to get my kids in school as soon as possible, since it's already started, while I look for a more permanent place to live. Does anyone here live in the Bugbee district of West Hartford, or know someone who does? I need an address so my kids can start school. My children will be staying mostly with my parents who will be bringing them to school since I start work before the students can be at school. My husband will be joining us in 3+ months, so I'd expect to be out of your hair well before then. ;o) Thank you sooo much! You cannot imagine how much this means to me and my kids! ~Karyn Post Date: 09/01/14, Replies: 0 | ||

| Los Angeles area lacking in Co-Ops I've recently returned from an extended (6-month) road trip through the western US and Canada. With this experience under our belts, my husband and I realized that Los Angeles (and OC) is absurdly lacking in Co-Ops. There are like 2 Co-Ops in LA county, and they are NOWHERE near where I live. So, we want to organize a Co-Op....this will be a major undertaking (several years or so), but my husand and I feel that our community is SOOOO in need of it that we are going to spearhead the project. We are currently considering the following locations: Whittier, Pasadena, Fullerton(OC), Long Beach. Just hoping for some input from anyone who might have comments about this. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would be willing to get involved in any way!! Post Date: 09/18/07, Replies: 1 | ||

| Milk and Eggs Contain Cholesterol I still don't understand how someone can be a vegetarian if they drink milk or eat eggs. Milk contains cholesterol and eggs contain cholesterol whether they are unfertilized or not and we all know that cholesterol only comes from animal products. Can anyone explain this?

| Need advice on nutrition for a runner Hi Guys, I'm a brand new vegetarian (4th day today). I've done a lot of research on food balance and nutrition when switching and finally decided to make the switch this week. I am very focused on living healthy and have recently started running. Tomorrow I will do my first outdoors 5km run. Very excited! My question is this: how do I eat around my training to make sure I have the right amount of protein and carbs for the session. 5km is only 30minutes to me, but in a normal training schedule I do 60minutes of cardio and muscle training and suspect I need to eat "smarter". If anyone can suggest a book or website or have personal knowledge to share, I would much appreciate it :-) Post Date: 01/03/14, Replies: 6 | ||

| Needing some support I just registered for this site because I recently made the decision to become a vegetarian. I am completely appalled by the way that animals are treated that become food. I know this is going to be hard. There are a lot of family gatherings where meat is the main dish and most of the time the only dish. I know i'm going to get slack, but I don't care. I can't contribute to the cruelty anymore. I'm 27 and that means 27 years of animals being tortured to feed me. I'm sick, I can't stand it. I love animals, I have a small animal refuge in my house. I have 2 dogs, 11 cats, 8 guinea pigs, 4 mice, 1 hamster and 13 rats, all of which are rescues that I love and would do anything for. How can I continue to eat meat when I feel so strongly about animal rights. I really need people to talk to that share my beliefs. No one in my family does including my husband. I also have an 18 month old daughter who I would like to be a vegetarian with me. I know this will bring up a lot of problems from family members. I really need some support, words of wisdom or anything that anyone has to offer to me. Thanks so much, Jenny Post Date: 07/24/11, Replies: 6 | ||
| Needing support newbie here I need some support and don't know where to turn. I am a newbie and want to go to the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. I am not a dairy person and honestly think its disgusting personally to drink/eat something that came out of an animal. I have never been a meat fan but due to severe anemia thought I had to get iron from animals and honesty it sickens me on how misinformed I had become. If someone would mentor me I would be eternally grateful... Ashley Post Date: 10/22/12, Replies: 3 | ||

| new vegan- need someone encouragement Hi! i'm Marty (girl). i'm a 22 year old from washington state. i've been a vegetarian before, and it was easy for me. maybe i've never been that dependent on meat. anyway, i was thinking of what my new years resolutions were going to be, and i wanted to be really healthy, and lose weight. i want to test my body's limits and flush out all the bad things in it. while i'm not preachy about animal rights, i am an animal lover, and the more i think about the way animals are treated, the more i don't want to eat meat or dairy products. i'm looking for someone who will keep me on track. all of my friends are meat-eating, dairy-guzzling people. so its really hard to have someone supporting me. i would prefer it to be through e-mail or facebook or something. i need someone who i can vent about all my cravings to, and someone to share their vegan secrets with me so i can be successful. :) thank you! -Marty Post Date: 11/12/11, Replies: 2 | ||
| New from Oregon Just wanted to introduce myself - I have been mostly Vegan for about 5 years now. I'm 51 years old and trying to stay in the best health so I can enjoy my grandchildren. Right now my 20 mo old grandson keeps me pretty busy! I see so many people my age who are taking some kind of medication or another, or who have some kind of chronic illness. Most of them ignore what I do and continue eating themselves sicker - which is sad. But i have guided a couple of friends at work into the Vegan World - and they are happy and losing weight. Anyway - thanks for having me and I look forward to chatting with you all soon. chuck Post Date: 02/09/14, Replies: 2 |
