Ryan,
As I mentioned, I gave up meat and dairy because of environmental
reasons - as mentioned before not because meat is bad but, because the
primary method by which it is raised in the U.S. is bad. I don't have a
single ethical issue with eating meat. I actually like it quite a bit.
Be that as it may, I originally tried all sorts of meat substitutes. I
was also pretty fanatical about trying to balance my diet. I have since
learn to eat as much whole foods as possible. I eat tons of whole
grains and lots of beans. From there, I just try to eat as many
different colored foods as possible (different colors mean different
vitamins and minerals) and when I crave something, I eat it (except the
meat and dairy). I can't eat dairy anymore anyway, it now gives me a
terrible stomach ache usually followed by vomiting. I am pretty
healthy. I haven't had beef in over 10 years and no other meat or dairy
for over 6 years. I have begun eating eggs again mostly because vegan
breads and pastas are so expensive. My family used to worry that I
would turn green and die. But, they have since sort of forgotten about
it except at holidays! ;-)
Take care,

Ken,
I am curious, what do you eat if you don't eat meat. I have been
attempting to give up beef. Mostly because a good friend of mine runs
a testing lab at a beef plant in Colorado. The things he tells me
makes me not want beef anymore. Especially when he talks about mad
cow. I don't think most Americans know what it will do, furthermore
we think we are invincible.
Do you only eat veggies, or do you eat meat substitutes, or both?
Ryan
