I'm stubborn as a mule (as I believe the saying goes...) I have been vegetarian for almost 6 years now and toward the beginning of that transition I was faced with (but managed to avoid) hospital/tube down throat/etc. due to malnutrition. I was sick, very sick. Worse even than a fall into anorexia, because I had no clue what was going on. Still, I refused meat at all costs.

Returning to what most call a "normal" diet is something I will never do. It's difficult to continue in this, yes, but it's something I will force my body to adapt to. Only in time...

{I apologize if my reply comes off as a bit hostile, tis not meant to be such. I have met more opposition to this decision than to any other I think I have ever made, and honestly I am becoming quite defensive over the matter. I do understand what you mean and how it is dangerous to my health...I really do.}
