Great! Thanks cherukkan and marycatherine. Good to know I'll be in good company and won't starve!

PollyJ there are lots of great reasons to be vegan: animal rights, health, lower environmental impact and peace of mind to name a few.
I feel much healthier since becoming vegan. I have more energy, I don't get as tired after eating meals, I lost weight and I'm happier knowing my actions are inline with my thoughts and ethics.

Of course, everyone is different and for some people (like Boer) its harder to give up the things they've always loved. For me it was a great choice and I've never looked back.

Give it a go! I promise it's not as hard as you think!
