Remember, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian. I eat eggs and dairy, including my morning egg & cheese sandwich – everyday.
The soybean products come in a wide variety of textures, consistency and form; all tasting unique.

I am not a huge fan of tofu or bean curd but eat these at Asian restaurants often. I do prefer pasta, rice and other grain based foods but these provide carbs not protein.

hmm… like I said, it’s been 20 years and I am still alive. I wonder if I only ate pizza everyday would I still be here? Would I be deficient in some aspect?
I really don’t know how my body is from these 20 years, but it looks good and most of it works good too!

I do have a half-dozen vegetarian cookbooks but I haven’t opened one in years. Usually only using the cookbooks for baking. I love breads and make my own bread every now and then.
omg, now I am hungry. I’m going to boil up some fake hotdogs since I am due for early dinner at the country club tonight.

There is a world of food but only about 5 meats. I eat everything except those five products. It’s really not that limiting of a lifestyle.

I found a great vegan shoe site that I love to share with people:
Vegetarian Shoes and Bags. I think they definitely make buying vegan shoes (boots, and more) very easy to do!

Again, congrats to you!
