Any other Vegetarians here in the Oz forum?
Just curious if any other Aussie DUers eat meat (not that I think you're bad if you do.) I have been for a while now and I find I feel much healthier now than when I did eat meat...

1. Not quite.
My husband is vegetarian, so when we married I learned to cook vegetarian
dishes. But I served meat to our children once a week so they wouldn't
miss out on B vitamins, and there are a couple of favourites of theirs
that have survived on our menu. Husband just has something else.

There are some things I won't touch at any price, such as veal or pork
because they're intensively farmed, and I don't believe in that, and
when I do serve meat I try to get organic whenever possible, on health
and humanitarian grounds. I'm against intensive farming, from hens to
cows, I believe all farm animals should eat only their natural diet,
and I'm against giving antiobiotics and growth hormones to animals - for
their sake and ours.
