I watched Forks over knives and started eating plant based about a year and a half ago. My health is so much better and life is more fulfilling now. Would love to be friends with others who are passionate about eating plants, add me as a friend.

    I'm vegetarian, but once I'm no longer underweight I'm planning to stop eating dairy & see if I can safely cut out eggs.

    I'm vegetarian, transitioning towards vegan. Recently read the book "Skinny B****" and agree, a lot. Right now I still drink milk/eat eggs but only when I know where they come from (we have chickens at work, and some neighbors have cows where we can get raw milk), so at least I know how the animals are treated and that there are not antibiotics/hormones being used on them.

    Hey, I'm vegan, mostly for ethical reasons after watching Earthlings over a year ago. I'll add you :blush:

    I'm vegetarian! I tried veganism first, for about a year and a half, but I just couldn't stick with it. Kudos to those of you who can, though! I wish I could say I'm also doing it for ethical reasons, but honestly I mostly started because I heard some absurd stereotype that "vegetarians are all gay women," and being pre-transition it sort of helped me feel closer to who I really am in some small way.

    Now I mostly don't eat meat because meat is really gross.

    Hi Everyone! I saw a Ted Talk on being a weekday vegetarian. So that's what I do:). I want to reduce my carbon footprint, but still be enjoy the things I love. I also am very careful about what animal products I buy and where they come from. I am 5'8 and currently at 198 trying to get to 155-160. I don't mind being friends if anyone wants request me. We got goals to reach so let's do it!

    I never saw Forks Over Knives but it is definitely on my list because many people make references to it.

    trying to become vegetarian. I am a chef so I always have to try stuff. At home I have to eat one meal of meat a day, but the meals I control I am going veggie. I don't think I could ever do Vegan though

    I try to follow a plan-based only diet most days and I try to never ever have dairy because it's so acidic and inflammatory and I feel and look terrible when I consume it.

    Forks over knives is a great movie. There are some vegan/veg meetups in NJ. There may be some in your area too.

    Just started my 2nd week going vegan. Adjusting super well, I found some local markets and chains that sell some really great produce and finding so many delicious recipies from various communities. Having issues with dairy have made the switch much easier as I find I have far less digestive upset the past week than when I was actively consuming meat/dairy. Eaiser to stick with my diet plan as well :)

    I've been vegan for what will be 4 years in August! Spent most of that time as a junk food vegan, to be honest, though, hah.

    Allo, I've been vegetarian for about 24 years. I've often thought of going vegan but I loved cheese so much. Perhaps that will change as I become a healthier vegetarian! I'm always looking for healthy recipe ideas. Oh, and I became vegetarian for ethical reasons (I grew up on a farm where meat was served with pretty much every meal - we had our own chickens, laying hens, pigs, lambs, milk cows and cattle).
