Just as a matter of interest, I've been trolling the internet for information on veganism and I found this great little website.
It provides extensive information about vitamin and nutrient requirements, vegan meal plans, results of research that shows how a vegetarian and/or vegan diet has affected the health of people with medical conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, blood pressure etc.
It gives information about food allergies, vegan diets for children, teens and pregnant women. It also has book recommendations and much more.
So here is the link and I hope that you learn something new and interesting!

I am considering taking my vegetarian diet a step further, but I'm not sure that I can go completely vegan. I do know how much better I feel, physically, since removing meat from my diet (I still have a little seafood two or three times a week), and I would like to take the next step.
Now I'm noticing how my body reacts to dairy and I'm not liking it very much, so I might just remove milk (except for my morning cappuccino), cheese and butter, to see if I feel the difference.
Small steps, I say!
I'll let you know the answer to my 'Vegan or Not to Vegan' question some time in the near future I guess!
