We're always shocked that our vegan entrees at restaurants are pretty much the same price as the dishes our omni friends order. As for grocery shopping... we never bought steaks, and Jane was always pretty good about getting meat on sale. So we didn't see any reduction in our grocery bills. But we still feel it's the right way to eat. Hi Julia, If you think Fast Food Nation was tough, try watching the Earthlings video (there's a link under posts you should read on the right). Anyway best of luck on your new path. It is a much more humane way to live. Hi Uncle Ray,

I read "fast food nation" and found out. I have only been a vegan for about two weeks but I can not stand to eat meat anymore. During June I was in Nicaraqua and saw a chicken being killed. I was the only one in the group that did not have there chicken on there tamalian. And even though I ate meat after that I refused to eat chicken. I said hey I will get over it. Then after reading fast food nation I broke down. Now I refused to eat any dairy product and meat. I became a vegan after realizing what the animals go through.

Happy anniversary! that’s fantastic :)
