Author Margi Ross has been vegetarian for over forty years now- so we caught up with her to ask her why she switched to a plant based diet all that time ago.
This was 42 years ago. I imagined what it would be like to be a chicken hanging upside down, absolutely terrified and about to be killed or any other animal about to be slaughtered and I stopped eating all meat and fish.
Yes, specially as it’s so easy to buy vegan food now. I will go vegan this year as I think it’s so important not to exploit animals for any reason.
They give me all the energy I need and they taste amazing!
I love grapes, or if I’m very hungry and need some protein, a Quorn sandwich does it for me.
Yes. More and more people are understanding that animals are not here to be eaten, that they are here to live and relate to their own friends and to us, if we are open to this.
I like to buy some favourite organic veg, say carrots, onions, mushrooms, fennel, potatoes, greens, whatever is available. Then chop them up and saute them in a little oil with some garlic, some veggie bouillon and a little water. Stir until they soften. Serve with veggie burgers or Quorn, or nut cutlets.
Breakfast. Toast and honey.
10am Bowl of oats. Bit of milk. Banana or other fruit.
Lunch. Some grains and a salad, with fruit in it and various veg.
5ish. Depends how hungry I am. Quorn or a veggie burger, or quiche, plus some salad. Or just a sandwich. Non dairy ice cream and wafer. Glass of wine (Suitable for veggies) about twice a week.
Yes. I’ve done this for years. Most of my friends and relatives are veggie and I’ve always encouraged people I’ve met.
Get the protein right. Find out what you like that gives you energy. Be patient while you experiment with veggie food.
Helping Feminine values come into the institutions so that the souls and bodies of all creatures are always treated kindly. The Feminine is about relationship and having a kind and loving relationship with all creatures. Helping women support what they know about Feminine truth and reality.
