Am I crazy for trying to drink more soy or rice milk instead of cow milk, or garden burgers and veggie nuggets instead of real meat? I still eat eggs, and haven't tried vegan cheese, so I'm not there yet

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. " - Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a vegetarian, which I find really cool. I find it a little funny that there is such a backlash on vegetarians because it is nothing really new. Yeah, it can be bad for you if you don't eat right, but that doesn't mean that you can eat whatever you want with meats and still have a 'healthy diet' I guess that is what annoys me with vegetarian vs meat.
And I don't think you shoudl settle short by saying "everything causes cancer, I shouldn't care" if you can afford all organic, do it. Hey, it is already working. Health food stores are popping up all over the place, and more people are becoming health food nuts.
Just remember, what is healthy about vegetarianism isn't just the fact you aren't eating meat, it is the whole idea of watching what you eat. Make sure you do some research to what has iron and other nuitruients and actually eat veggies- regardless if you like them or not. It sucks, but you learn to drool over them.
Okay gotta shower. Stay strong Justine. Don't worry about how other people pecieve you. Just remember people can make wrong judgement, EVERYONE does.
