Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

I had a health problem and was forced to adapt a new lifestyle. Since then I have studied and researched nutrition voraciously.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

I would like to visit Greece, Italy, Spain, England, and France.

Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:

As far as veganism/nutrition, I've read the Boutenko books, Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, China Study, The Hundred Year Lie, John Robbins Books, etc. As far as philosophy, I've read Aristotle, Ayn Rand, Ghandi, Harry Browne (How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World), Ron Paul, and Nathaniel Branden.
