Finally a vegan support group! I just joined EP and I am so happy to find a vegan support group here! I've been living a vegan lifestyle for about 3 weeks and have lost 2 pounds without exercise! I must admit it has been a challenge, animal ingredients are in everything! Other than fruits and veggies, you really have to look carefully for animal-free food.

I started being a vegan after learning what happens at factory farms and slaughterhouses. What was your reason?

Hugs,
Natalie

 Honestly I started because I read "The China Study" and "The Food Revolution" among other books -- it was primarily for my own health, but the more I learned about the cruelties animals endure in the factory farming process, I knew I could not be a part of that anymore.  Glad to see you here -- sorry I've been absent for so long, but life took me for a bit of a curve.  I'm back to make 2009 my year!

Funny - I was ordering college text-books on Amazon today, and just on a lark, I decided to purchase both China Study AND Food Revolution!

Crazy. Actually, it wasn't really just on a lark. I have actually spent the entire New Years eve holidays being assaulted by a big huge sickly meat-eater about why I was vegan and then arguing with me about it and asking me where my information came from. I realized that most of my info came from reading on the web and from the podcast "compassionate cook". I'm tired of being attacked, but worse, I am tired of being asked to site my sources. Alas, it's for the animals, so THAT's why I am buying these books.

Anyway, Hello!

Sadly, I can't keep this group going all by myself -- there are 24 members, but no one wants to post anything? I'd love to hear from some of you.

I hear ya -- though losing weight has not been automatic since going vegan, I would still never go back to consuming carcasses.
