I've been vegetarian for over a decade. Convincing people that diet has a direct influence on the environment is very hard to convey. This article has summed the basics up, nicely. I love Thai food, they often use cashews as a protein substitute in the stir fries. Teriyaki can also be purchased without soy beans. I love to think that each delicious meal has saved a sentient being. Thanks to each of you for trying! Chokh dī (good luck)
