How it all began

After going to the Green Fest in Chicago back in May, 2010, my husband asked, "we should try a vegetarian diet for the environment". The inpact on mass producing meat for human consumption is horrendous on this planet.

Well we started June 1, 2010.

After exploring vegetarian dieting (using the quick vegetarian start up guide www.tryveg.com/img/vsg0501.pdf) it became clear that it will be easier then we thought.

Then we explored more information and it also became a way to be kind to all living things. And ripping into the flesh of another being just didn't seem right.

I am happy to say that we have been vegetarians since. My mother in law says "can't you cheat a little" not realizing that the thought of eating another living being- truly detests me.
