Hi friend. I'm happy you're interested in learning more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I hope you find the same spiritual peace in this community that I and millions of others have found. It really is wonderful to be a Mormon Christian.
While our church doesn't require veganism or vegetarianism, our doctrine does encourage us to eat meat sparingly. Members of our church or visitors who wish to avoid meat entirely are certainly welcome to worship with us! In fact, Mormons love to receive all kinds of visitors.

Hi friend. There are many vegans and vegetarians in the church, myself included. Many of our early church members and some of our prophets were vegetarian. To find out more, I recommend reading http://www.vegsource.com/articles/catano.htm. Also if you are a member of facebook, you could join the group called Mormon Vegetarians!
