Food & Drink - 31 March 2007

I am a 26-year-old female who is very seriously considering going the "Vegan route" in the near future. Here's the problem: I am a peritoneal dialysis patient. (For those of you who are not familiar with the medical term/disease, I suffer from kidney failure and have to use a glucose-based solution to filter toxins from my body.) As a P.D. patient, my diet MUST consist of high protein, low phosphorus, and potassium rich foods. Could anyone suggest some possible menu items I could eat that with satisfy my dietary requirements? Any response you could provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

people oppose me being vegan?

ever since i went from vegetarian to vegan a couple of days ago, i received a sudden influx of arguments and "concerns" from neighboring friends. all of them tell me the same thing:
"don't you want to be healthy?"
"we were meant to eat meat."
"for every animal you don't eat, i'll eat twice as much."
"don't you have to take pills?"
"just eat a little once in a while."
"what you're doing doesn't change that fact that. animals will still die and be eaten every day."
"they aren't equal to us."

and things like that. really, it stresses me out and i need to ask how you guys deal with these kind of questions? i've been vegetarian since circa 6th grade, which is now around 3 years. some friends even tell me i won't last long being vegan, that i'll start eating meat again..
