Now I'd use vegetarian bouillon.

I am veggie all my life. Coming to the US was a huge culture shock not being able to find veggie food. Especially if you start your life on the East coast. But I thought people who grew up eating animals can never give up. Whats your story?

It wasn't a deliberate choice. I just got grossed out by factory farming.

Okay, you are now officially smart in my book. I'm going to apply.
