    Thanks!
    I'm optimistic about it, but everyone else around me seems to be putting a big damp mood on it by being all "it's never going to happen you're such an idiot" at me. Bah

    Argh! I hate when people have comments to make on other peoples diets. When they are clearly not unhealthy :(
    If your lactose intolerant, your likely to feel much better on a vegan diet.
    It would be sensible to think that your likely to last the distance in that case.

    My dad called it "misguided enthusiasm"!
    Apparently it's stupid giving up the food I like. I like it...but it makes me feel sick! So why would I want to keep doing it! It's really bugged me now!

    This year I'll be veggie 20 years.
    Every couple of months my Dad still offers me a rasher with the sad eyes.
    I know how you feel.

    My incredibly adorable grandad (see photo above...his name is James!) still asks me constantly "Are you still doing that vegetable whatsit thingy Kellie!"
    Also I had to explain to him recently what pasta was as he had never heard of it before. I was eating some knorr pasta parmesana thingy in his house the other day with I think it's fusilli (the swirly) pasta. He was staring at it, then me.
    ---"Grandad what's wrong?"
    --"I'm just looking...ok?!"
    ---"At what?"
    --"Trying to figure out what that stuff *Points at the pasta* is"
    ---"This is pasta grandad, do you remember I told you about it before. It's really nice. Want to try some?"
    --He sat back in his chair, looked at me and said "Looks like maggots!"

    He is simply too cute!!

    Think its time I posted something here, been skulking around here for long enough :pac:

    My name is Phil, I'm 23 been a vegetarian for 4 years. I hated eating meat for a few years before that but it took me a while to get the push to go veggie. For the most part I'm lacto ovo but have started moving towards vegan.

    Up to lately my cooking skills were pretty basic so I relied a lot on things with dairy or egg in them like quorn but have started to phase them out as I've gotten better at making different foods and will probably go fully vegan in the near future.

    I tried to find a picture of me not drunk but have come to the conclusion that none exist so here is a picture of me locked and covered in party decorations.

    Oh hello mister shoes, ahah, looks like you are having fun :p
    Best of luck with the switch, it's taken me so many years to not want dairy/eggs/quorn/potatoes all the time. Now it's all about the garlic vegetables mmm

    I'm a DIT graduate with an Hons Degree in Food Technology, I graduated last year. Currently working in a completely unrelated job though, hard times and all that.
    I'm 25. I was born, and live, in Dublin. I never have money and can never remember what i spent it on. I drink too much coffee and I smoke.

    I constantly look stoned apparently, judge for yourself :P

    I have tattoo's on both wrists, but now that I've found out that the ink they use isn't veggie (thanks to the thread here) I feel like I'm wearing my hypocrisy on my sleeve so to speak. I plan on getting more but researching the aul' ink situatuion a bit more first.

    ....cannay think of much else to write, I may edit this post if I think of anything, but hello to you all anyway.

    http://twitter.com/account/profile_image/MainEntrance?hreflang=en

    Edit: am i allowed post a link here? not even sure if it'll work unless you're signed into twitter. I can't post a proper pic coz I'm in work, I will at a later date :)


    Ok, so I don't know if you get notified when I quote you, and I realise your post was while back now, but a friend of mine is a very srtict vegan and he also tattooes, and I know he wouldn't do ts is the ink he used wasn't animal friendly... if you haven't found a solution I can ask him for you...?

    Don't know what to write..Said I'd say hello here, so.. Hello to all the folks here! :D
    I'm 28, from Limerick, lets see.. my veggie history! I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, I never liked fish and stopped eating red meat when I was 13, & chicken at 15. I like all the usuals- reading, music, cinema, sport (mainly rugby and mma), like to cook too, although I seem to do better with baking.. I've had my fair share of disasters when trying some veggie recipes. OK probably more than my fair share :o:pac:
    Was a bit reluctant to post a pic, but I figure it's tucked away in a nice corner of boards!:P Will try to attach one so (from my sister's hen party!)

    Cooking is great! Nice hobby is the baking and so on, get something good to eat out of it :D

    Yeah i love our little corner, sure I have loads up and people in other places still think I'm a girl. Anyway, welcome again fellow late night poster


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    Hello! LOS is 22 and a lady:rolleyes: and I do physics.

    I'm fairly vegetarian and partially vegan......I eat fish, I avoid milk products like cheese, butter, yoghurt etc. I eat eggs though.
    Soya yoghurt is way nicer imo.

    My diet is more of a selfish thing, it's for health reasons more so than moral reasons, just so happens that the two go hand in hand which isn't a bad thing either. I just couldn't watch every single thing that goes into my mouth though, a lot of tablets are lactose based etc so I do what I can without having to over-think things too much.

    I haven't ventured over here before so I shall be having a look around :pac:

    Oh shoot, *pats pockets*, I forgot my photo album ;)

    And right now I am either up very late or up very early :pac:
