Good for you! I've been a veggie since I was about 5, so I don't know how hard it is to actualy have to change your lifestyle to suit your values. I admire you 
The veggie lifestyle can bit a bit pricier, but its worth it. Be sure to try 'ground round', an awesome source of protein (and apparently it taste and 'feels' just like ground beef).
On another note, some people were mentioning how they wouldn't 'refuse' a meat meal from a poor person. What? This kind of makes me angry because its the attitude I've met alot throughout my life. Would you cook a meal with peanuts and expect someone who is allergic to eat it? Would you cook pork for your jewish friend and be offended because they didn't want to eat it? No. Its just plain Rude to cook a meat meal for a vegetarian. And No, it is Not okay to expect them to just eat your side dish(es). If you're entertaining, its your job to cook FOR the people you've invited over. arrg

I didnt say my veggie diet is giving me the problems I have personally. I know my problems are genetic and i would have them regardless of diet. I said that a veggie diet would make them less apparent by generally making me stronger and healthier. For many people being a vegetarian later in life or early in life doesnt make any difference but everyones not the same. Perhaps i would have been better off for all i know. I know people who cant seem to be vegetarians because they just start getting weak or faint. These are educated people, a couple of them are biologists so I assume their not having me on.
