I'm a vegetarian but am becoming more and more interested in trying a vegan diet.  How is the transition - is it hard to do?  I'm worried about eating out, etc.

It takes some getting used to - though eating out in restaurants can take some major adjustments.  I find that going to the typical british pub is the hardest.  They think vegetarian means cheese, cheese, cheese and cream of course!  Depending on where you live it's not hard to eat out - true italian places you can sometimes find stuff to eat as well as going to your local veggie place!

You just need to change the kind of places you eat out at...start discovering the delights of Lebanese and turkish food!  Middle Eastern food is great for vegans - they normally steer away from dairy and meat altogether.  And it's tasty!  Other types of food that are okay are things like Japanese (veggie sushi) and some Thai food (vegans can have coconut milk!)

I just don't think I could give up eating meat.  I don't know what I'd eat!
