Vegetarian	Why did you become vegetarian and what kind of changes did you then experience?	Sep 25 2007 23:26 (UTC)	17
What is a lacto-ovo vegetarian ? I became a vegetarian ( I do eat things that swim) because of health reasons. I have early onset arthritis and developed liver problems due to the amount of iburprofen I was taking to control the pain. After some research I discovered the Gold Coast Cure which is for people with anti-inflammatory diseases. The next step was to cut out beef, chicken etc. that has uric acid in it because that is a huge trigger for anti-inflammatory flare-ups. Before I changed my eating habits, I was swollen and sore all the time. Now I have some problems with pain and stiffness, but not nearly to the extent it was. I have gone from being barely able to write in the winter to mild pain and stiffness. I am in my mid forties and my skin, hair and nails have never been so healthy. My complexion is nice I can use minimal makeup and I actually look younger than I did 10 years ago. (Which my guy loves!)
Vegetarian	Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe	Sep 25 2007 23:17 (UTC)	4
Use the softest tofu you can find, and a bag of good quality chocolate chips, melt chips add tofu, blend with hand blender until smooth. Pour into graham cracker pie crust or individual serving bowls. Chill. Enjoy. I have made this for company and they have no idea they are eating tofu. It is very rich.

Vegetarian	Resources and Information for New Vegetarians/Vegans	Sep 25 2007 02:04 (UTC)	147
I have not heard the term pescetarian. I usually tell people I am semi-vegetarian because I eat things that swim. I still have the occasional piece of chicken or hamburger. My choice to give up beef, chicken etc. is due to health concerns. I have early onset arthritis and have discovered I do much better without that type of animal protein. I say bravo for this forum because I am still learning. How do I handle questions simply and quickly from people who find out my eating habits. My close friends and boyfriend are all on board with me. My mom..however, and others..that is a different story.
