Thanks for the invite to your site. Do look forward to the interaction here.

James,

Thanks for the friend request. I read Dick Gregory's Cookin' with mother nature, for folks who like to eat, in 1976 and dropped red meat, dairy and eggs. Prior to that, I read Ghandi's biography and was haunted by his reference to meat as decaying animal flesh... the truth of that statement was measured against Peter's dream and God's instruction giving man dominion over the animals.

I hope to meet on the posts and learn more. My son was a vegan for 12 years and measured vitamins and other nutrients but eats animal porotiens now that a dentist sternly lectured him and his daughter was born.

Merry Christmas
