Food & Drink - 6 September 2007

I'm working on becoming a vegetarian (not now but in a while). I have cut out fish, pork, and meat and am only eating chicken. I'm sure that if I read about the cruel methods used on all these animals, then I'd have a better chance of becoming a real vegetarian. Are there any informative sites on animal cruelty that I should know about?

I'd like to prevent a buttercream frosting from losing its shape in a warm or humid environment.

I know buttercream frosting is full of butter so it will melt, but does anyone know of something I can add to make it not?

I'm icing cupcakes and the only way I can get the icing to hold is in the fridge.

I'm from Australian where Shortening isn't sold so any recipes without it would be appreciated.

Sometimes I can go an entire day & even two on occasion w/o eating a morsel. After 2 days it's a problem BUT people ask me all the time why I don't eat. How about " I AM NOT HUNGRY". Good reason. I don't want to be a cow like the rest of the world either.

I just got back from a roadtrip through the north western United States. My boyfriend and I couldnt buy redbull in a few states. Someone told us it was killing people. Anyone know anything about this? Has Red Bull really killed people?

I was wondering when to call companies and when to not. If the food is labeled vegan, I call the company to see if it was manufactured on equipment that had animal products and other questions. Or if I read a label and see that the ingredients are vegan, I have to call the company and ask the same questions. Am I being to untrusting? Or should I call?

you scramble eggs that water all of a sudden appears from no where, even though you didnt add any water to scramble them with? It never fails that there will be water in the bottom of the dish that the eggs are sitting in....I hate it!

Aside from seasoning obviously. Is it illegal to sell packaged made food, such as crackers or soda, that if you eat the entire package in one day, brings it to a lethal amount of salt.

I wanted to make a cake, and i wanted it to be big. So, I got two cake box mixes and I made a batter for two cakes, but I decided to put the whole batter in one pan. Now, it is browned on the outside and not AT ALL cooked on the inside. I have lowered the temperature and I am giong to keep in in longer. Is there anything else that I can do?

Hey I'm a vegeterian for a little over a year (my family doesn't really like the idea and made me eat me for protein and B Vitamins but now that I'm older I'm fully comitted 16 yrs).

So I'm trying to cut down on the carbs for a while but I'm finding it difficult any suggestions? I looked up a veggie pyramid but its mostly legumes and carbs red beans. I'm currently at college and they have alimited menu and the college is far from everywhere unless you have a car. Only one cafeteria and vending machines and I want to stay away from the grease. Any help ?
I can't walk with lunch cuz I have labs with chemicals and it'll get contaminated.

If u click on the link you'll see my website where I have the pyramid http://www.freewebs.com/dezed/goodhomecooking.htm


SECOND QUESTION

In the Pyramid they say to cut down on alcohol why ?

My parents aren't supportive of my diet, or at least they won't go out of their way on the grocery list. So how do I have a balanced diet on basic stuff? will fruit and dairy products work?
