you can do it Katy! It’s not that hard. There are great faux chicken foods out there like Health is Wealth Nuggets, Chicken-Style Seitan, etc. Just look in whole foods in the veg section. If you can kiss a girl and like it, you can also eat a faux chicken and like it. I promise.

Almost all vegetarians at one time loved chicken. I wish people would remember that vegetarians were, in the past, meat eaters and that we did and are doing fine.

I think it might be easier to remember that vegetarians were past meat eaters if more vegetarians were open about what it was like to transition from eating meat to being a vegetarian….like a veg. transition mentor program or something

Um, “I kissed a gourd and I liked it”?

I hear ya, girlfriend. That was the last flesh food I gave up. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Hil, if there is a veg*an mentor program, sign me up. I’ll be glad to help a newbie or wannabe veg make the transition.

Veggie Tart, if there isn’t a mentor program set up then there should be:). It is hard to make the transition if you don’t feel supported in it. Glad to know that you’re on board if there is/ever is one.

Funny I never liked chicken (even as a child- and steak was never my thing) But duck? omg. I admit I miss it from time to time.

it kills me when people complain about how hard it is. it’s hard for almost everybody. i think a very small percentage of people give up meat and/or dairy because they dislike it. you just have to make a choice and stick with it. although, it’s funny, b/c i know it was hard at the time, but now when i think back EASY! and so worth it.

I know, Katy, right? I was a wannabe-veggie for a looong time before I finally said “Aw, what the hell?” and chucked meat forever. I used to tell my vegetarian friends, who wisely tried to encourage and never once criticized me, that I wanted so badly to be a vegetarian, but I loved steak. Steak?!? Now I’m revolted by it. Now I think chicken is actually easy to give up. I hope Katy goes for it!
