I became a Ovo-lacto in April of '96. Since then I've had nothing but hassles from friends and family. People just don't seem to understand anything about vegetarianism. "Oh a little meat won't hurt." Please. I'm posting this in hopes of meeting some people who understand and to learn new things about the "Veggie Way" and the environment.

Oakville:

Cheryl Jachymek, age 18. Jachymek@myna.com
I became a vegetarian when I started grade nine. I never really liked meat and one day I was eating a hamburger and it just totally grossed me out and since then I have never eaten another piece of meat. I am a devote animal lover and don't believe animals should be killed and suffer just for us to eat them, there is a lot of other food for people to eat besides animal products. Also there was the health risk that came with eating meat and the fat and cholesterol. It has been hard being a vegetarian though. There isn't a lot for me to eat at school and in restaurants and all of my friends eat meat.
Michelle Tilley, age 19. mts@globalserve.net
I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for a year and a half now and I aim to become a vegan by the time I graduate University. I am going to marry a vegetarian and raise a vegan baby, and live in algonquin park or somewhere in the northern part of Ontario or Canada. I am extremely interested in the environment (I'm a part-timer on my school's environment committee) and camping is my life! I love my guitar and playing it! I also love getting email, so if you like sending it.....well feel free!

Udora:

Lynda Marie Vanden Elzen, age 16. lynda_ve@hotmail.com
I am having trouble with my parents. They don't like to accept my eating habits, and try to force me to eat meat. I don't like it, and I don't want it. Also, I am a bit overweight. I'm not fat, I'm just not thin either. I have been a vegetarian since 1995 and it is now April 1997, so I thought my weight would have gone down, but it hasn't. I am also hungry most of the time. If anyone has any answers to my problems, please email me at lynda_ve@hotmail.com. Thanks!
