Imagine you decide to become a vegan after years of being a vegetarian. You go into your shower and discover that your shampoo contains an animal byproduct. Do you throw it away immediatley because of your vegan lifestyle?

Consider this information before answering:

1. The shampoo has already been bought. The company already has the financial benefit from that shampoo. Whether you use it or not makes no difference to the animals or the industry.

2. Being as the animal has already been killed, wouldn't it be considered dying in vanity to throw it out?

Or would you throw it out anyway solely because of the ethics, even after pondering the previous statements.

I don't really know how to explain it but a cookbook that went say: "indian" starter, main and dessert
"greek" starter main and dessert
and so on. I would have a couple for each theme.

I am allergic to egg whites since I can remember. I could eat the yolk of an egg but never the egg white. However I am confused as to why I am able to eat things like bread, some cakes and pastries that have the use of egg in them. However some cakes and soufflés gives me an allergic reaction. Can anyone relate?

Think about it, when some one raises catle as a food source...
1st They wait till that cattle has mattured... 2nd they let it yield offspring... 3rd The cattle raises that offspring untill it can survive on its own. and Finally the origanal cow or whatever, is, for lack of better wording, slughtered and sold. This insures that the line does not brake. Do vegitarians not cut greens or in my opinion (something that IS LIVING and FULL OF LIFE), from the ground, thus killing the origanal life soucre making way for more life to stem off, in turn only to feed their bellies like the rest of the meat/seafood/produce/dairy/fuit loving world???

I heard that steaming veggies is healthier and less calories. Why is that? I don't understand why the same vegetable can get more calories when cooked a different way.

I was just curious......why do some shows show the labels on food such as Barefoot Contessa and other shows have to make phony labels to hide the brand names such as 30 Minute Meals?
