Any Vegans?
WannaBePadre:
I've been switching vegetarian on and off, and noticed that after a week or two of no-meat, no-sweets ... my cravings go away ... but after only one bite of either, the cravings come back.
What is moving me closer to total vegetarian is the effects I'm noticing in my body (i.e. weight loss, more energy, overall mood.)
It's also raising the question of how many hormones and drugs remain in meat -- i.e. is it the meat that does that, or where the meat has been?

Spoke with a customer yesterday who was passing through town who happens to be a rancher. He is head of a co-op of beef producers that use no hormones and the cattle are range fed i.e. grass only, no grains. He said that it's available at Whole Foods market.
I'm considering trying some and see how the family likes it. Between burgers and all that good stuff, we consume at least 10-15 pounds of beef a month. That may be a little conservative too.

I know some vegetarians that have gotten violently ill after "relapsing"

(2) I crave meats and sweets a great deal. I went lacto/ovo vegitarian twice and lasted 2-3 months on each try and eventually relapsed. Since I have high cholesterol and a horrible family history (colon cancer, stokes, heart disease, etc) I know I should... :'(

I turned when I was 10, so it was easier. But dude just take some cooking classes, I've never actually used any of the recipes we made there but you learn quite a bit. I have a huge sweet tooth bro, if I can do it so can you. There are lots of alternatives!
