Hi all - 01-31-2009, 09:36 PM

I have been vegetarian all my life and it has been always like that not only in your country but everywhere.
There is one difference. Now, this is a multi-billion dollar industry and for good. People now is so much more open minded than when I became vegetarian. Back then, it was like you belonged to some kind of weird sect or something. Now, it is getting more and more into the society. It is an explosion. So many young people want to be vegetarian. If you want famous people who are vegetarians, you can find many of them like Leonardo Di Caprio, Madonna, Clint Eastwood, Prince Charles of England, John Denver, John Lennon, etc. President Obama is pretty vegetarian friendly as well. You can find natural food stores on every corner. There is a green revolution taking place now in the US and that will define the future of the United States for generations (organic farming, natural health, alternative energies, etc). When the establishment in Washington DC gets interested, you can bet it will be a big impact worldwide.

Japanese natural traditional cooking is very vegetarian friendly. They are not vegetarians but pretty close.

Once, when I was younger, I dated a Japanese lady for the first time. I told her I was vegetarian. Then, she asked me if I was vegetarian because I didnt have money to buy meat.


A lot have changed since those times. People still make fun but so much less. Now is mainstream.

If you have questions, you can ask me anything.
