Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge!

A personal story in the experience: I Am a Vegetarian
J oin the Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge Here:

http://www.experienceproject.com/challeng...

By participating in the 'Pledge to Eat Veg 30 Day Challenge', you will be helping animals, and the environment! In addition, you will be doing something terrific for yourself — eating healthy to live a longer life! 

Every year, more than 15 billion animals are slaughtered for food in the U.S. alone. Each of those billions of individual animals is denied everything that is natural and important to them: the space to take a few steps, love, safety from fear and pain, companionship, the joy of being able to nuzzle their young, and often even protection from the cold.

A U.N. report summarized the devastation caused by the meat industry by calling it "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." By going vegetarian for 30 days, we will work together to mitigate some of the devastation caused by the meat industry in our world.

Eating vegetarian has NEVER been easier! You can make vegetarian versions of all your favorite classic American dishes, by visiting the link below for tasty recipes!  Check out this great vegetarian recipe search engine : http://www.vegcooking.com/searchrecipes.asp

I stopped eating red meat (beef) a year a go and now I am pushing for no meat period, any ideas on how I can stick to this plan? Is Fish allowed?

I didn't eat any meat for 2 years and I really didn't feel any different. Last Monday, I decided to go vegetarian for Lent. I started early this year. Maybe, this will be a way to do somethings that are important to me.

I stopped eating meat after reading several articles back in Feruary 2008. I joined this challenge to get and receive support from/for my friends.

Can I have dairy products like milk, butter, cheese? What about eggs? Can I have cookies like buttered cookies? Bread?

I am already a vegetarian but I want to do this by taking it a step further and going vegan-completely eliminating all animal products from my diet. I am a cheese addict so this will defiantly be a challenge.

I have seen a lot of others who's comments are a long the same lines, I agree and I will try to go 30 days with out meat (at the very least). You're not asking to go Vegan so, I should manage this ok....
Considering the drastic changes of some peoples health of course.

I'm a vegetarian already (for over 20 years) and hope LOTS of people will join this challenge. I'm actually considering becoming a vegan but have to work out a safe plan because I have some health problems (not related to being a veggie, in fact!).
