i'm sure with the influx of people we have enough of a community for this to be a thread, or at least people who are interested in veganism and vegetarianism and incorporating aspects of the diet/lifestyle into their current life. so yeah, pop off! share your struggles, experiences, good times, recipes, all that kind of stuff

I've been vegetarian for 10 years and I'm on a pause now as I live on a super tiny town with no vegetarian restaurants and I don't cook.

I love food but my relationship with it was always practical. If I could never eat again I would. So going vegetarian was a no brainer.

What I noticed after going back to meat for 2 years now is that my health degraded. Though that could be just correlation with simply getting older but the only issue I had while being vegetarian is b12 and iron which was super easy to supplement.

When I lived in Vietnam being vegetarian was so incredibly easy since all Buddhist eat vegetarian and all you had to do to find a good restaurant is to find a temple. It really gave me a taste how vegetarian first society would feel and it's amazing and totally doable.

I'm excited to move to civilization to resume being vegetarian that's for sure.
