Hey everybody. I have a really inconvenient cold right now, which has gotten me to thinking that maybe I'm not taking care of myself the way I should be. What do you all take in the ways of vitamins & minerals, supplements, etc? Or what would you suggest?
Unrelated, but I've been meaning to ask, what is the LEAST offense answer you can give someone when they ask you WHY you don't eat animals? I get this question a lot as I'm sure you all do as well, and I have a hard time answering it quickly & consicely. I usually say that it's for a number of reasons, including health, environmental, and compassion. It's difficult to put it into words without indirectly putting the other person down. I don't want to lie and say "because I don't like it," etc, which would be easier, but I kind of see it as an opportunity to educate someone on the benefits of a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. But, I don't want to lecture or anything.
Ok, looking forward to hearing feedback. I love this place.
