Life insurance is one of the more conservative and risk averse businesses and yet now life insurance companies are offering from 6% to 15% discount to vegetarians because they believe our diets are more healthy

One life insurance company said:
"The risk of vegetarians suffering from some cancers is reduced by up to 40% and from heart disease by up to 30%"

and

"It said that despite the fact non-meat eaters are less likely to suffer from a range of chronic diseases, vegetarians do not pay less for their life cover and are therefore “subsidising” meat eaters."

Seems to me, the world is waking up.

Unfortunately if i post the link some meaty-trolls will report me for advertising. Perhaps google "life insurance vegetarian" if you are interested.

Left over mashed potatoes, what can I do with them for another meal. One thing I like to do is make patties out of the leftover potatoes and then fry them in a pan until crisp on the outside.

You know when you hard boil an egg for too long the yolk gets like green around it, why when you over cook a fried egg it doesn't get the same green on the yolk?

I have tried a few times to make that super soft, moist and sweet cornbread they serve at Boston Market to no avail. Does anyone have the recipe?

I am already trying to cut down on meat and I am pondering going vegitarian. I still eat dairy and eggs, it's only tetrapod (mammal, reptile, and bird) meat i'm considering quiting.

I am wondering whether i can do it without having to take iron or mineral supliments? And what foods i can increase my intake of instead?

Do you recon i can replace red meat with dark chocolate? Sure tastes better, but would it work? Iron content? Bioavailability? What about eggs? I have heard they are high in iron? RSPCA approved free-range of course ;-)

If i try it, how can i tell if i am low on iron?

Please only answer if you can cite a decent refrence or two, or genuinely are managing to do this yourself.
