I'm so excited! After hearing my reasons for not eating meat (and dairy and eggs) and some thought, a girl I work with has decided to go veg! She said that since she's getting a companion pig and has also had chickens and other various animals as pets she can't eat them like she did before. She even called her family to let them know. She told me she'd been thinking about it for a while but I helped her see that it was possible in a very veg-hostile environment (like Texas). I'm giving her information and recipes and stuff to help get her started. I;m kind of proud that I helped to make a difference in her lifestyle. Even if she doesn't stick with it, at least I've made some positive impact. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/carrot.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":vebo:">

She knows. She asked me about it since fish is her "favorite" meat.

That's great! It's always so rewarding when someone listens to your reasons and is genuinely interested in them. It's even better when they actually decide to act on them!
