Vegetarian & Vegan - February 2007

My office has a yearly Chili Cook-off. Now I won last year with my Beer Can Chili and yes sorry it had meat. This year I want to shake things up and do a Veggie Chili. Does anyone have a good recipe without tofu? While I love tofu most of my co-workers are afraid of it for some reason.

I've been a vegetarian for about a year, and feel better physically, and sharper mentally than ever before. This truly is the optimal way to eat for maximal health.

However, I am concerned about soy. I try to stay away from dairy products, and therefore use soy milk. I have read about there being a potential for hormonal or thyroid problems associated with soy consumption. I have not had any issues with the soy milk to this date. Have any of you used soy products long term? What has your experience been. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

that soy made in america is toxic. Americans don't filter out all the toxins in soy before serving/selling it to the public. So I want to make vegetarian dishes without soy. Thanks ahead for all your ideas!

I'm having no problems becoming vegetarian except for major chocolate cravings. Is there such a thing as vegan or vegetarian chocolate?

So... the V&V section has become a bit of a hobby for me... I work all the time, and when I'm done, I enjoy coming here. I am curious about all the "regulars" here.

Soooooo...... (answer anything you feel appropriate)

How old(ish) are you?
What do you do for a living?
What do you do for fun or as hobbies.

What are your loves/hates?
Anything else you would like to say about yourself?

Anyway, if you think I am just being lame, just ignore me; otherwise, share a bit about yourself.

~~~~~~~~

And (as I cannot choose a best answer based on that stuff) what are your thoughts on "vegetarians" who eat fish?

:D

(no drugs, cigs, alcohol, casual sex. some also define sxe as veggie/vegan) because i feel like im the only one and its really depressing to feel so isolated.

(and i know i asked this already in p&s but i thought i'd ask in v&v also)

I really want to become a vegitarian because I am a young girl (Twelve) and I really care about Earth, so how do I get my mind off of meat? I like it too much, but if I have a good way to keep my mind off of it, I might be able to become one.

I mean it seems even the vegatarians and vegans dislike PETA. I was wondering and only want answers from non-meat eaters.
I am a vegetarian.

I've recently become vegan (4 days ago), and am already finding it hard to determine what to eat. Why don't vegans eat yeast products, considering that yeast isn't an animal, its a fungi. If we don't consume yeast,shouldn't we not consume other fungi as well.

Please help, I'm really confused.

How long would it take me to gain about 20+ pounds without getting my self sick from eating to much? I'm really skinny and i'm about 5"9.

Yes I'm a vegetarian, and I could eat! But I never really gain weight
I can eat a 12 inch (vegetable) sandwhich with chips for a week and not gain a pound.


For the past two weeks or so i've been eating pretty good and having smoothies daily. But I haven't gained any weight. So does anyone have any tips to help me gain weight quicker?

Thanks
