Are you a Christian, are into organics, and are vegan?

It sounds like you are doing really well. It can be expensive eating a vegan diet, but if you prepare food from scratch you can save money as it is cheaper than processed foods.

By the way, I now have, officially, no eggs and no mayo left in my fridge. It has all, officially, been replaced with Vegan fake-mayo and tofu. :-) I am making progress.

I wholeheartedly agree. Buying processed foods really eats up the food stamps! I bought a cast-iron 3-quart pot a couple months ago, and am using it to make Vegan spaghetti (with mock-ground-beef made with vegetable protein) and delicious organic-Vegan soups. Things will definitely get better. I know they will. And, my having walked 8 miles yesterday and I'm not sore afterwards, is definitely a good sign! It won't be long, really, going this route of transitioning into organic-Veganism and exercise, until the 130 pounds of excess weight is off. I've never seen an obese Vegan. Have you? lol

If you are a Christian, are into organics, and are truly interested in either transitioning into what I call organic veganism or learning about it, you are welcome to stick around. However, please don't try to convert me or anyone else in this discussion into meat eating or try to "talk some sense into us." That's not what this discussion is about. It distracts from the discussion. Thanks, and God bless. :=)

Really, I am looking for support and encouragement as I transition into organic-veganism, not for reasons for why I should come out of it. I get enough discouragement and non-support from fellow Christians, even at the churches I have attended and even from my own family, and I have heard all their reasoning. Since you are not organic-Vegan, and are not looking into the possibility of becoming one, it is a good idea for you to stick to other topics. Thanks. :-)

I know organic meats don't guarantee the animal didn't suffer.. I didn't say that. I said that since God put the plants and animals for us to eat, organics are healthier because they aren't grown up on fertilizes or what may be, that was all. I don't know if you misunderstood my reply or what, but I wasn't trying to convince anyone out of their dietary lifestyle. I simply answered your question.. I'm sorry. I'm a Christian and have thought this over, and I said what was on my mind.. I didn't think there'd be a problem, I apologize again and will stay away from the topic from now on.

I absolutely have got to say this: I tried Tofurky brand mock turkey slices with cranberries in them this afternoon for the first time, and it was delicious! I put 5 slices of that, Nayonaise (a soybean-based mock mayo), and sprouts, between two slices of bread, and it tasted so good that it was practically impossible to tell that it was meatless! So, there are some mock meats and such that taste really good. I am also learning how to cook with tofu, mock meats, nuts and beans, and other vegan things. Do give it a go, and let me know your experiences! :=) By the way, Peta.org has a lot of good ideas about transitioning into veganism, which is what I am presently doing. There are lots of other great Vegan sites on the web, and I might post some later on. Glad you came aboard!
