Vegetarian & Vegan - December 2006

I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years now and the only time I ever eat quorn is when I am eating at a friend's house and they have cooked it for me. I don't like fake meats, or enjoy them but am too polite not to eat it when I am given it. Usually I tell them before I come over not to cook me a special vegetarian dish and I will be happier with whatever they are having minus the meat.
Why is it that (in my 10 years experience) nobody who eats meat can accept the fact that a vegetarian may actually like substitute meats?

I ask because I've known a few vegetarians who have really missed eating bacon sandwiches since turning veggie.

I couldn't imagine living without a bacon sarnie and brown sauce.

I want my family to eat vegetarian at least twice a week. Anyone have some great recipes that are healthy enough to feed to a two year old (shes not fussy at all when it comes to veggies and stuff)

I've heard the argument that humans "are no better than animals", and that animals "deserve as much dignity as humans".

PETA's Ingrid Newkirk says that a "dog is a pig is an insect is a boy".

While making living conditions better for animals is more humane, is equating a chicken to a human something you really believe?

I am thinking about becoming vegetarian and have just started. I was wondering if anyone who became vegetarian noticed any changes in their moods or behaviors. Thanks.

is that true or a fib? If it is a fib would you call it a vegetable?

Frankly, I think vegetarianism is the primary form of racism.

Ok, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but I do try to eat things that aren't really bad for me. A couple of times my wife bought veggie dogs for my son and I tried them and more than once I wound up with a splitting headache. Why?

I don't get it - so many vegetarians, and ESPECIALLY vegans, love to pontificate to me about how disgusting they find meat to be, and then they turn around and eat Boca Burgers, Smart Dogs (tofu hot dogs), Tofurkey, and fake chicken made from tempeh or tofu. They then go on to tell me "Oh, it tastes JUST LIKE the real thing, but it's better, it's not made from an ANIMAL!!!" Not to mention tofu based fake cheeses (like fake "parmesan" cheese) and the ultimate funniest one, fake Sausage links!!!

Why can't these people practice what they preach and stick to just plain old vegetables and fruits and tofu??? It's hilarious to me that so much of their food is designed to be a "meat alternative" and even look and taste like the very meat which they supposedly "hate". And don't try to tell me that they only hate that meat comes from an animal, most vegetarians say they hate and cannot stomach the actual taste and texture of meat (yet they try to duplicate it with veggie alternatives!)
