Salutations!

Post by Grayveggie »

:D Salutations, Greetings, Hello! I'm a vegetarian in my late forties and I'd like to transition to vegan in the near future. I've checked out other forums recently but none are very active. I'm hoping to have more luck here.

Heya Grayveggie, welcome aboard :)

We're a small enterprise, but it's rare any serious topics gets left unresponded too, and people here are junkies for good discussion and can get quite passionate. First thread that takes your interest, feel free to give your 2 cents.

How long have you been vegetarian and what is the biggest motivator to go vegan? E.g. ethics, health, the environment or mix? And obstacles to overcome e.g. what your diet is now and where your not sure about substituting, things you like cooking and any allergies, then we can offer advice if it'd be helpful.

Welcome Grayveggie, I'll be 50 in less than two years so we have probably been around about the same time. Great that you are thinking about becoming vegan and please let us know how we can help. Our forum is not overly active but you will probably get higher quality replies here than anywhere else.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

New here too: young vegan tip: avoid vegan cheese & replace with avocado instead. Download the Taco Bell app for phone & customize items while on the go.
