Thanks for the encouragement. One thing you can look forward to Mugsy, once you decide to not put the meat on your plate, you will lose about 10 pounds! Even though a large part of the protein in there is unneeded, and not digested, those three servings of meat a day most Americans eat account for a large part of the fat we eat (both in the meat and the way it is cooked).

I read a letter to Dear Abby once where a young girl had decided to become a vegetarian. She just "couldn't stand the thought of eating meat anymore." Her question to the advice columnist was "what can I do...I really don"t like vegetables..."
