Re:why meat substitute? - 2005/06/06 01:55
diets, especially when it comes to fats and obesity.
However, as a vegetarian or a vegan you should also watch your diet in order to ensure you eat the *right* foods; that you have the right vitamins and minerals, enough protein and carbohydrates and so on in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The common conception amongst meat eaters is that a vegetarian is thin and sickly looking, and that a vegan must be even worse. For younger people just starting out, who haven`t necessarily thought through what they are doing, this may well be the case. However, I`ve been a vegetarian for over 29 years now, am well built to muscular and maintain a very active and healthy lifestyle. Meat eaters refuse to believe that I am a vegetarian, and it is very difficult to convince them they are living under an illusion of what a vegetarian is.
