i suppose i'll join.
been vegetarian just shy of three years now. i started simply because after a few months of touring the states on a small allowance/per diem, a $5 veggie footlong seemed more appealing than a value meal at McD's. at first it was only gonna be a tour thing, but i stuck with it. also toying with going vegan some day.

That is a very sad, but a very common story. The only way farms can compete is to resort to being "factory farms" where living beings are treated solely as milk producing machines.
Its quite heartbreaking and why I've been vegan since 1996...

Heya veggies! I'd like to play. I've been veg since I was 12. My drummer is also veg, for about a decade. Toyed with vegan but I just love the cheese too much. Cheeeeese.

Hey BASSIST, FYI there's a new vegan buffet in Vancouver on Wednesday nights from 5:30-9:00 at Nyala.
Cheese is a tough give up. I've gone stretches as a vegan, but have fallen of the wagon for some time know.

Cheese is a poor source of calcium. Don't believe the hype!
Veg. derived calcium is much more easily absorbed by the body.
Yeah, cheese and eggs are keeping me from going vegan. Most of my weekend breakfasts contain both, and I just love me some good cheese.

Note sure about the uptake of calcium in Dairy vs. Veg sources but I'm always up for some schooling. The above link sheds some easily digested light on the topic of Dairy vs. veg Ca+. If nothing else, veg. sources of Ca+ have far fewer kcal/sat fat / mg of Ca+.
One thing not mentioned, but regularly noted when doctors and dietitians provide counsel, is that high sodium intake can also empact bone density. Cheese is often high in Na+...at least the good stuff is!

follow your heart cheddar and mozzarella cheese is really good. i mean you can kinda tell its not real cheese, but its great on pizzas and sandwiches. and the cream cheese is pretty good on bagels.
