To your question about the cost of becoming a vegetarian Masimba, I think it is correct to say that being a vegetarian is (much) cheaper than being a meat eater. Perhaps with a very few exceptions in the world, meat is a luxury and always much more expensive than vegetables and beans. In terms of getting the right proteins ect. I suggest that you order the vegetarian starter kit from PETA. It's totally free of charge and they even send it for free (to most destinations in the world). You can also download it.

Being veggie just makes it all run through the burner (body) quicker and more efficiently. Eating meat is horribly inefficient for the body to process - so thick. The only thing I had to watch was my iron intake - but I was wolfing down supplements daily after I went low on iron once. What a great life... Hard to do that in Thailand maybe. Everything has pork. The vitamins are expensive... Good post! Vern I was vegetarian for a while - nearly 10 years as I was doing some triathlons and things for a while.

You provide some really helpful information about the larger values behind a vegan diet. Our personal choices are one part of the overall solution to world hunger. Canceling the debts of poor nations, promoting fairer trade policies and urging our nation's leaders to do more in the fight against hunger are also key steps in solving hunger. Our personal choices can only have so much of an impact on an issue as large as hunger. We must also use our voice as citizen's to advocate for policies that address the root causes of hunger.

Besides I think its really kool, makes you stand out. How do I slowly settle into becoming a vegan? And an article on whats kool about being vegan could help me.
