I am currently learning the ins and outs of the Indian diet - my friend is a Hindu from Kashmir and has taken me under her wing.
i'd recommend finding some south-indians to help out. north-indian food (perhaps due to the muslim influence, perhaps due to climate, i dunno?) tends to be much more meat-based. certainly there is a TON of vegetarian options compared to any western cuisine. but south indian food is really the shining example of hindu vegetarian cookery. (maybe it's just that is where i'm from and thus have a genetic bias towards it - but it's just so damn good!)

yeah, that makes sense. the girl and know (and her family) are straight-up Hindu - no meat whatsoever. They pretty much eat all organic as well. Perhaps they follow the diet from the south.
Thanks for the heads up man!

Yeah man, I want some recipes. Start with some easy recipes a guy who doesn't do much cooking could make without a bunch of trouble. You could put em here so other shroomerites could also enjoy. Yum. 
I love the spicy food. I always order my thai food 5 starts, and always feel like they made it 2 stars because I'm white and they think I can't handle it.

Respect to you. I've been a vegetarian for about 3 years now, and now that I think of it, it was one of the best decisions I made in my life. It depends on the place you live. When I decided to become vegetarian, I was living in Turkey which has a very meat induced servings and foods. It was sometimes hard to find veggy stuff, and I never saw things like veggy burgers and such. Now that I'm in canada, its pretty easy for me. Nearly all restaurants have veggy opportunities and they respect people for their decisions. Earlier when I said I was a vegetarian, people looked at me like I was a freak and it was hard for them to understand why I had chosen this path. Anyways, I think it will be good for your path on spirituality as well.

advice: don't forget your Omega 3 fatty acids found in walnuts and flax oil or power. You'll need a serving a day. Also, you need to make sure you get your B12. You can get some in soymilk and other products that have been supplimented. Otherwise, take it in pill form.

I commend you on your decision. Hopefully I will be able to do the same in the near future. How I love fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and oh god.. soymilk. I do not enjoy eating greasy, refined, preservative-saturated foods. But most of the time the easiest (and cheapest) food to get, is meat, and other refined foods. If I ever manage to make it vegetarian, I would still eat fish though.. and eggs. whatever that is called.

Good luck with the veggie-ism. Just remember, thinking of it in terms of "morality" and good or bad, well you have to keep that within the scope of yourself. Don't extend those judgments to those around you who still eat meat. I hate self-exalting vegetarians. Everyone's choices are half-chance..

I like soymilk because it tastes better and doesn't make me sick like regular milk.
I get the vanilla flavor. Yum.
I think the trick is to be willing to suffer for something you want. You should look at how hard it would be to stop eating meat as an oppritunity for suffering that will better you as a person. If it makes you unhappy, well, thats just your illusory ego trying to bring you down, let go of it.
Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with suffering for me. To me, Id rather go hungry than eat meat now. You should spend a lot of time contemplating meat, staring at it without thinking. This might make it easy. And think about the factory farms and the lazy workers who probably jizzed in your food when you eat it. Rather then try and change, just try and be aware as you eat it about everything involved in it from the animal cruelty to factory farms, and remember that you are one with everything, even that stuff.

Every time you tear into the flesh of a fried chicken, just think of all the hormones and steroids and shit that were pumped into it's little chicken body, and the cages that they're kept in that force them to breathe their own shit and piss. And don't forget Cournel Sanders' semen in each and every one of em.

Congratulations to you for making the decision to become a vegetarian!
I've been a vegan for a little over 20 years. Without a doubt, the best decision I have made. I don't think there is anything else so simple that a person can do that can that can have such a great benefit to themselves, the world's hungry, the environment, and of course the animals.

I like that quote... where's it from?
'Way of the Peaceful Warrior' by Dan Millman is one of the things that inspired me to start eating more consciously.
