hello there!<br><br><br><br>
this is my first post and i am so glad i found this forum! i am a total newbie...and i am seriously considering making the switch to veggie. i already have the consent of my husband (i didn't need it, but it's nice not to be opposed) and i have the health of 3 small babies to think about. so anyway...i have some looming questions that i would greatly appreciate opinions on...<br><br><br><br>
1) if i leave fish, eggs, and dairy products in my diet, does that make me a huge hypocrite?<br><br><br><br>
2) i'm not sure i could completely cut out animal products...i also live in germany where there is meat meat everywhere and i think it may be difficult to find vegetarian options in such a 'meat n potatoes' society<br><br><br><br>
3) if i cut out eggs and dairy...will it be extremely difficult to replace those products for basic baking and cooking? or will i seriously have to restructure everything?<br><br><br><br>
4) what are your favorite replacements for most meat products...like do you use egg-beaters or grillers, etc?<br><br><br><br>
now, honestly, i feel a bit hypocritical...because if i do this, i want to do it right....but i honestly don't know if i will be disciplined enough to do this properly.....and i am seriously worried that i will be labeled as a hypocrite if i keep fish and eggs in our diet. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
"><br><br><br><br>
my father is also a hunter (that is his job) and i am really worried about flack at home....<br><br><br><br>
i am extremely laid back and open, so i would really appreciate honest opinions here. i don't need any sugar-coating. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
"><br><br><br><br>
ok, thanks for listening to me ramble on...i honestly have no one to talk to about any of this and i am a bit lost....but my conviction simply will NOT let me disregard this....i feel compelled to do this for the sake of the animals of this world and for our own health. i would really appreciate any insight or help. thanks so much.<br><br><br><br>
