[QUOTE="Thimble the Squit, post: 982875, member: 6756"] [b]Yum![/b] That sounds [i]seriously[/i] tasty! And, on-topic (sort of), I'm vegetarian and perfectly happily so. I was vegan for three years and I was probably on my healthiest ever diet back then. When I went to university, it wasn't quite as convenient (family all veggie or vegan, wholefood co-operative nearby, etc), so I went back to being straight vegetarian. My main advice is, listen to Pielorinho and learn to cook. I'm a very good cook; it's even got me laid. Many people claim that you can't get the necessary protein without meat but that's untrue; you just have to understand what you're eating. Pulses have only have the necessary amino acids for a healthy diet, so do grains -- but, and here's the kicker: they're exactly matched to provide, both together, a complete set of proteins. Students rejoice: beans on toast is one of the healthiest meals you can make! If you're currently omnivorous, consider going veggie first, just to smooth the transition, both for your own palate and for your digestive system. Like somebody else on here (can't find the post, sorry), I've been violently ill from eating meat by accident; you might find yourself going the other way, becoming anaemic or suffering protein / vitamin / mineral deficiencies, through a sudden lack of meat. Take care of yourself and welcome to the veggie club. [/QUOTE]
