jean, i would say that on 2 levels being vege is benefital 1st health wise, since becoming vege ive found my health to be much better, with increased energy levels. 2nd ethically being aware of what we eat and where it comes from makes us more understanding and thoughtful of others around us.

Yep... I know that... I think I now become fully vege, lol... Though sometimes I still steal seafood 4 my weekend dinner once a week...

actually alot of doctors say that eating meat acouple of times aweek is perfect 4 the body, and eating fish/seafood is benefital because of the added amega5, but my motivation 4 not eating flesh is to cherish life so i can live without those extras.

Its true mtness...

yes of course, its good...undoubtedly...as i said, its in tune with nature; you know people of ISKCON (International Society of Krishna Consciousness) are 'saatvik' vegetarians - dont touch onions and garlic too...i dont know the exact reason though...
