@Barbara. Happy to respond. I've been veggie since around 2000 - can't remember exactly as it was a transition cutting out meat then not eating fish - and I've been about 98% vegan for around three years - I'm somewhat pragmatic about being vegan at corporate events as they always cater for veggies, as many Indian professionals are Hindu veggies and mass catering seems to struggle with veganism; also, I don't check if wine is vegan in pubs but I do in supermarkets. The thing that triggered me to go veggie was looking at the BSE problems and the cause from what seemed poor and unnatural practices. Then the more I thought about it there were many ethical reasons to be veggie and then vegan. There's also a certain convenience as my wife's been vegan for more than 23 years. When I was reducing my blood pressure around three years (which I managed without medication) my doctor and consultant were both pleased I was veggie. So during my childhood and into my middle ages I ate meat. Interestingly, my mother went veggie for a short period in the 1940s a few years before she was married and although she cooked and ate meat she always disliked handling it. In spite of what people say I don't miss meat - inc!using bacon. But if I couldn't get a decent felafel ... |
