Being Vegetarian

I am not a vegetarian, but I do prefer veggies to meat. When I go to restaurants serving buffets, my plate would be more that half full with veggies. I stay away from fatty meat especially. That gives me the gaut problem, very painful. Yes, I have also read about the E-coli problem in Europe.

I admire these who are able to have a vegetarian lifestyle. as you said that outbreak makes us think. For weeks now I have not eaten much fresh stuff as its not secure to eat cucumbers and tomatoes which are staple foods in our salads here. I have switched to frozen veggies and just now have gotten back to buying fresh fruit. Right now we have gooseberries, plums, green grapes and some apricots in the fridge that should last us till the weekend I hope.

Hi, sherlychin Welcome to Mylot. Yes, I agree. I think it is important to always consult a doctor or a nutritionist when one wants to be a vegetarian in order to ensure that you get a real balanced diet. I also think that it is important to always be updated with new studies so that you can avoid what is not good to us. Have a nice day!

Dear Sherlychin, A healthy vegetarian diet is just that, healthy. If you can go organic, there is no danger of the E-coli you read about. So basically it is very important where you get your vegetables and fruits. I suggest you try to get hold of this DVD, or the book or the e-book....Eating by Mike Anderson. This is about going vegetarian and avoiding all those diseases we hear about, like hypertension, diabetes, cancer, etc.
