IN RESONSE TO EMAIL POSTED BY ASHLEY CROSS MAY 31ST 2006 I MYSELF AS OF AUG 2OO6 HAVE BEEN VEGGIE NOT VEGAN BUT VEGGIE FOR TWO YEARS. IN ORDER TO BE SATISFIED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU MUST FIRST MASTER THE LEVEL OF VEGITARIANISM THAT YOU ARE AT, NOW MIND YOU I AM NOT VEGAN I HAVE TRIED, I FOUND MYSELF INSTEAD OF FULFILLING THE REAL PURPOSE OF WHY I AM A VEGITARIAN I WAS FIGHTING WITH MYSELF TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL WHICH WAS STRICT VEGGIE OR MIND YOU VEGAN. IT IS ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO BATTLE WITH SOCIETY, FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE A HARD TIME EXCEPTING OUR WAY OF LIFE WHICH IS SIMPLY OUR DIETS WHICH IS FAR BETTER THEN THE DIETS THAT OUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ARE ON THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR EATING HABITS. IF I CAN SHARE A BIT OF ADVICE, IT TOOK ME YEARS TO WEEN MYSELF OFF EATING FLESH. AND I REFER TO IN SUCH A MANNER BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS ASKED THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION, WHAT ABOUT FISH OR CHICKEN, SO I NIP IT IN THE BUD AND SAY I EAT NO FLESH, CHESSE, EGGS, MILK YES, BUT NO FLESH. IF I MIGHT ADD BECAUSE OF MY ALLERGIES I SHOULD GIVE UP THE DAIRY OR CUT DOWN ON MY INTAKE OF DAIRY. IF YOU ARE A VEGITARIAN STAY THERE AND MASTER THAT, BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT LEVEL. REMEBER BEFORE YOU BECAME A VEGITARIAN YOU HAD TO HAVE THE MIND SET TO BECOME ONE, LIKEWISE YOU MUST HAVE THE MIND SET TO BECOME VEGAN. NOW I MYSELF DONT THINK I WILL EVER BECOME OUTRITE VEGAN AND I MUST BE HONEST WITH YOU AS WELL AS MYSELF. I MAY REFER TO MYSELF SOMETIMES AS A VEGAN WANNA BE, BUT I KNOW I AM A VEGITARIAN AND HAVE SETTLED TO THAT POINT AND HAVE MASTED WHAT I AM. NOBODY LOVE ANIMALS THE WAY THAT I DO, IVE HAD ALL KINDS OF BIRDS, FISH, FROGS, NEWTS, RITE NOW I HAVE A FAT WHITE RABBIT, AND FOUR CATS. I LIKE GOING TO ZOOZ AND WATCHING ANIMAL PROGRAMS. I HOPE I HAVE SAID SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP YOU AND OTHERS. MASTER THE MOMENT OF BEING A VEGGIE BEFORE YOU TRY AND GO VEGAN PLAN YOURSTEP TO THE NEXT LEVEL, WEEN YOUR WAY THERE. ESTABLISH AND MASTOR YOUR VEGITARIANISM BEFORE WEENING YOUR WAY TO VEGANISM. FYI I AM MARRIED TO A MEAT EATER AND MY TWO SONS WHICH ARE OVER 200 POUNDS ALSO HOOKES ON FLESH. REMEMBER MASTER THE LEVEL OF VRGITARINISM THAT YOU ARE AT BEFORE YOU FOCUS ON VEGENISM I WISH YOU THE BEST,
