SHE doesn't think so, Nancy<LOL> We're working on the concept that if one
is to be vegetarian, they might want to mm, maybe, I dunno,
eat-----vegetables????LMAO She has her tried and true veggies and that's
about it, but I'm chipping away at her. She has to try anything I make, and
then she can decide.

I agree very much about educating yourself, any time you cut something major
out of your diet! A lot of veggies I've seen do eat a LOT of cheese, and
even the vegans eat a lot of not so healthy food. Not all of course, by
far-but plenty. Fake *ice cream* is still fatty. Really, it boils down to
the same thing for everyone-lots of real food, not so much of the snacky,
junky foods. (God, do I miss snacky, junky foods sometimes!LOL)

Lynne A, eating as clean as I can
