I'm lacto-ovo vegetarian and have been for 17 years. I am mainly for environmental reasons as I don't believe that it is sustainable to farm meat however, I am also for health and philosophical reasons.

DP and DD1 are omni and I think it would be too hard to be vegan in the household especially as we all eat the same meals. DP can deal with being vego at home as long as he gets to eat meat when he goes out. Hardly any of my friends are vego but they are really good about cooking for me when I go there for meals.

I eat a lot of legumes, wholegrains and leafy greens. I am a blood donor too so my iron is good enough for that which means it is better than most meat eaters
