Biggest issue with veggie...
In Response To: Forks Over Knives -- changes lives ()
trying to find interesting foods at restaurants that are NOT just salads. Asian and Indian restaurants fare best, but still have very limited menus.
I went veggie for health reasons a year ago... to try to fight the encroachment of gout. The various pills that are used to fight gout have side effects that while not as bad as gout, are none the less not too good.
Sure, I miss stuff like bacon, and good BBQ... but I like being able to walk.
