All good questions! I'll try to answer them individually below:
I should clarify that I've been vegetarian since birth, so meat was never part of my died to begin with. I think the 35+ years part of my post probably made it sounds like I adopted it that long ago, but really I was just describing how old I am
I normally eat quite a bit of Lentils, Legumes, Nuts and Dairy Products as part of my diet, along with an abundance of fruits and vegetables. I like to stay active, but I'm fairy sedentary during the work week (desk job) so I usually reduce my consumption accordingly.
Haha no no-- I avoid fast foods and processed sugar items. I do most of my cooking myself, so it helps in controlling teh sodium levels in my food and what goes in it. The "Junkfoodatarian" diet is way too common, among both veg or non-veg consumers.
As a child I would eat any sugary thing that came my way, but as an adult I maintain strict control on what I'm eating -- so clean for the most part.
No offense at all -- I appreciate the questions.
