I was working in Singapore where it was difficult to find vegetarian food and I had no facility to cook. Somehow, managed to get Veggie food either in Buddhist or Sri Lankan stalls in Food courts. Buddhist eats vegetarian food only those days when they are repenting. Lot of times they close those stalls. All my local colleagues from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong used to wonder how I am so healthy with vegetarian food. After work I used to spend my time taking Marshal art training or playing Basket or volleyball and morning 2 miles jog on beach. I am female. My stamina was much better than any guy in our group, I was the best. Average age of our group was 23 years. Two guys decided to shadow me and my eating habits.
Well, within a week they started going one day veggie. Slowly we all started having lot of veggie days. Plus we started experimenting lot of veggie food from different culture.

I'm vegetarian by choice too, I'm Italian and here the most of the population eats meat, since I decide to be vegetarian(two years ago) some members of my family started to make critics on me, they don't understand my choice and initially they tryed to make me eat meat hiding any in my food or making my old favourite meat-dishes... Now they've stopped this devices but they sometimes still try to reconvert me.
Also finding food was difficult at the starting point, now if I have to stay at the university at lunch I prepare my meal the day before because if I want vegetarian food I must go to the restaurant or eat just sweets and fruit.
I think you are a good exemple for all the vegetarian woman like us, we go straight on our way!!! <!--emo&:clapping--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clap.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='clap.gif' /><!--endemo-->
