I'm vegan and have been for over 2 years now. After some research one day I just made the switch and never looked back. I just made a tofu and spinach lasagne for dinner for my family last night. My Dad wasn't SUPER thrilled but he said it was "pretty good."

Lizzie, you probably got sick because your body has slowed its production of certain enzymes used to digest meat. If you are going to start eating meat again you should start with a small portion - not that I'm advocating that! What you experienced is pretty normal so please don't think something is wrong with you.

As always...if anyone has any questions about veganism or vegetarianism then feel free to PM me!
