My daughter is a vegan and since my CABG of Oct 2009, she has been trying to convince me to do the same. Seems extreme. What are your opinions on veganism and vegetarianism?

I'm a quasi-vegetarian meaning that vegetables, whole grains, fruits & egumes make up the core of my diet, but I also eat fish, dairy products, poultry and lean meat. Being a total vegetarian or vegan wouldn't work for me as I find it too extreme. I prefer a diet based on the Mediterranean style of cooking and eating. You'll find that refleted in the recipes in my books.
