I have been a vegetarian (mostly vegan) for about two years, and I feel so much better since that time. In my opinion, meat is not needed in the diet at all. I would only eat meat if I had no other choice. Yes, animals and plants are both living, but plants are not conscious beings. Also, there are many animals that are vegetarians as well -- rabbits, horses, apes, just to name a few.

To the OP, we will be going to my parents house for Thanksgiving, and I will bring vegan mashed potatoes, a green salad, and a healthy/fruit dessert. The rest of the family will, of course, eat turkey, but I will stick to the veggies.

BTW, I believe it was right before Thanksgiving when I became a vegetarian also. Don't worry about trying to mimic turkey; just eat the good foods that God put on this earth for us (as close to their natural state as possible).

I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!
