I think what you eat is your own business. If you want to discuss it, that is fine. I'm not a vegetarian but that doesn't make me any better or worse than people who are.

Just be sure to get enough information so that you get your vitamin supplements and can balance your diet out for your optimum health and welfare. A lot of people who are vegetarians don't do this at the beginning, so I'm not trying to be patronizing. I have Diabetes and I'm kind of paranoid about what I eat. I have to count everything, calories, carbs, proteins, fats (like avocado) and so on.

Let me give you one stater dish. Very tasty. Take Portabellini mushroom slices and mix together Balsamic vinegar and a small amount of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and herbs to your taste and salt if you use it. Mix the liquid ingredients, spices and garlic in a shallow dish and immerse mushroom slices. Let it sit for 30 minutes or so and then saute until tender in a skillet. Very tasty. It can be a whole serving for a meal or used for appetizers. Bon Appetit. (Hope it is spelled right.)
