Am I too late for your project?
1) I practise vegetarianism since 1988 and became a 100% vegetarian
in 1993 after I learned and understood Buddhism.
2) It is difficult if the faith is weak but if the faith is strong,
it's only a natural process.
3) Being a Buddhist vegetarian, eating is only a necessity. Taste
and quality is inmaterial. I eat anything that is convenient, like
bread and biscuits. If I have to prepare a meal, instant noodles
will be fine. When eating in hawker centre, I won't be fussy about
oily or healthier food but usually more green veges.
4) During the initial practise stage, yes. After about 6 months, I
don't crave anymore. In fact, after 1 year, I'll experience nausea
and sometimes puke if I accidentally consume "unclean" meat
stuff.
5) Breakfast - Coffee/tea with bread. Lunch - hawker centre
vegetarian food, rice and veges, toufu. Dinner - home cook rice
with veges and bean-soup with seaweed.
6) Vegetarian is becoming more convenient today, you find them in
most hawker centres. In the 80s and early 90s, it is a little
difficult to locate vegetarian food stalls.
7) I am very much healthier, I had never fall sick since 1990.
Never get a chance to go on MC. I don't loose my temper compared to
my younger days.
