    Yep. I went to PETA's website just for curiosity and ended up watching one of those videos. I couldn't believe what I saw. The cruelty displayed on those factory farms was beyond what I could comprehend. It was cruelty, nothing more, nothing less. So I refuse to support that and am now a vegetarian. I went to the grocery store today and stalked up on frozen vegetarian meals, tofu, and even some of those little "Tofutti" ice cream snacks. I'm planning on keeping this lifestyle. Anyway just thought I'd post. If you have any tips to help me out as I start up this new path it would be great.

    Congratulations! Welcome to the club!:p Yeah, PETA got me started on veg too, and now I'd never go back (there's so many reasons- the animals, the environment, my own health- plus with all the substitutes floating around out there, why the hell bother spending more on meat?!). Well, I wish you nothing but the best of luck and hope you enjoy your Tofuttis!

    PS: Tip- Tofutti Cuties are good, but there's this other brand that's amazing! Sadly, I haven't had em in a while and forget the name, but they're twice as long as the Tofuttis and way better!

    right on!!

    if you want to educate yourself a great book to read is "The Vegan Sourcebook" by Joanne Stephaniak. It talks about everything vegan as well as includes lots of stories and comments from other vegans and has a whole section devoted to health and nutrition as well as hidden animal ingrediants. Its the best book ive found on the subject....and its an interesting read.

    if you like to read there is one more excellent book that i must reccomend. its called "the pig who sang to the moon" by jeffery mousaieff mason. It discusses the emotional world of farm animals and has so much great information. the chapter on chickens was so interesting. its a fun book to read becasue the author is awesome and his books really take you in.
