Reply #8: Hi guys! [View All]

I have my hubby to thank for converting me to vegetarianism. We met when I was 16, and he really taught me a lot...in more ways than one (LOL!) :D But, anyway, he was a vegetarian and really into animal rights, and we were both kind of just getting into the whole anarcho-punk scene. There was always lots of animal rights literature around at the punk shows we'd go to, so I got really educated about animal cruelty issues. I've always had a profound love and respect for animals, but it took that education and his good influence to ultimately get me to give up meat.

We had been dating for several months, and one night when my mom was making chicken fajitas, something inside of me told me that this was the day I was going to take the veggie plunge. I told my mom I didn't want any chicken in my fajitas...so I had ate grilled peppers and onion fajitas that night! :-) And the rest was history...I haven't eaten meat in about 8 years now. I do still eat dairy and eggs, but I don't do leather.

Well, I'm glad to meet some fellow veggies/animal lovers here! I look forward to talking to you guys! :hi:
