Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgbrowning" data-source="post: 974592" data-attributes="member: 5724">My advice would be to become vegetarian before vegan (unless you're already vegetarian.)  It's a lot eaiser, both in dificulty of finding food as well as for getting nutrition.Umbran: Yeah, a chage in one's diet does influence your friends choices. I've let all my friends know that they should chose what they'd normally chose to eat and I'll fend for myself. Everything works out pretty good except for two types of resaurants: barbeque and seafood. Almost every other place as an ok vegetarian option, except those two.I've been a vegetarian for 6 years now and I can't digest meat anymore. I accidentily ate some pork 2 years ago and got massively, painfully, sick. Even with that a although i'm vegetarian for religious reasons, i don't "cheat" a bit on ocassion with soup stocks. But when I do, it's only because I don't want to be rude to someone's hospitality. I think hospitality is very important and that I'm not focused enough on my religion to put it before respecting another's kindnesses.When my wife's grandmother found out I was a vegetarian she said, "How'd he get so fat only eating vegetables?"  Hehehe, gotta love the bluntness of old chinese women... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />joe b.</blockquote>
