Hi everyone,<br><br>
I became vegetarian at age 19 and now I've been vegetarian for more than 11 years. I changed for ethical reasons, because I don't want to contribute to all the cruelty of factory farming etc and also for environmental reasons.<br><br>
Although I still ate dairy for a long time mostly free range eggs, non animal rennet cheese, now I am seeking to make a greater commitment to animal rights by going vegan and I already drink soy milk and I've been totally vegan for the past 2 weeks <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> This looks like a good place to get to know other vegetarians and help me with the information I need to cut out the dairy of my diet altogether.<br><br>
Well that's my vegetarian story in brief. So I look forward to reading the topics here and chatting with you.<br><br>
Mike

Hi and welcome! I'm in the same boat, long time veggie but now working my way to becoming completely animal free. Missing chocolate but getting there!

Thanks for all the welcomes <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br>
Yes I miss eating certain desserts like ice cream but for my beliefs and my health, veganism is the path for me. Currently exploring the vegan alternatives.
