  I have been mostly vegetarian for many years, however my energy levels are not that great. This may be partially due to not enough veges and fresh food though, not due to lack of meat. Having said that, taking iron seems to be helping. Iron is especially important for women, cos we lose it every month.

  Well, my diet is mostly veg. though my body will crave meat. I don't think all body types are built the same and i don't have a categorical judgment that meat is wrong. I do think meat farming in this country is a horrid practice but all farmers who raise meat are not barbarians. I feel like you can honor the life of a creature even in death but finding those loving family farms is kinda tough in a modern city. All veg. diet is a very very high frequency, i know that for me, it does not suit all situations. I'm eating a lot of shrimp and shellfish these days, scallops, mussels, clams. What's your feeling on shellfish?

  I engage myself in this path today!
  thanks Flashstorm for this post. I wanted to do it from a long time, but i failed because of the habits of the family....
  I tried it for 2 months when I went to India and I find myself much better!

  I've just eaten corned beef.
  But I've now started looking for an easy to cook vegie meals for a change.
  and to minimize instant food as well.

  == dunno, but the piggie looks cute. Cutest so far that I've seen. Pigs at our province are bathing at dirt. Not worth the sight.

  Well to be honest.... I still eat meat, but not much as I used to. Also by eating meat does nt coz negitive in me and my emotionals are fine, because I am very emotional guy anyway and it shows i am in connect with my spirt. I am having health problem at the moment, but not a bad one just a weird rash and, its to do with worrys and stress. You see yesterday I went to see a spirtural guide a real person. She knew things of me and told me my 4 spirt guides which are, soilder, doctor, monk and my animal guide is a Eagle. I was so enlighted about it and she, to join a spirtural meeting club, which make me more spirtural awareness.
  
  Peace & Love
