Vegetarian & Vegan - February 2007

ofcourse when i first became a vegan i lost weight just from the changes i had made, but now that i know alot more food that is vegan i find myself only eating junk food for meals. i don't want to only eat fruit and veggies but is that the only way i can lose weight? or is there something else i can eat thats not bad for me or not strictly fresh veggies?

Earlier today, I asked a question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmWExtR5qf18CeATKAwPXYbsy6IX?qid=20070226065345AAuc0Cn
So, pretty much, I ate a pop-tart without realising it contained gelatin. And I know gelatin is made of animal bones, tendons, skin, ect. I have been a vegetarian for two months now, and I love it; I feel healthier and an all around better person.
Someone answered my question saying that Pop Tarts are not 'vegan', but are they vegetarian? I mean, is the tissue used to make Pop Tarts just a byproduct of the meat industry that would just do to waste, anyway? Like leather? And I figured since vegans don't wear leather but some vegetarians do...
What I really want to know is am I still a vegetarian. No stupid answers, please.

Is it really so vegetarians can feel they fit in? I've eaten veggie burgers at bbq's and it really seems to draw more attention to the fact that I'm not eating what everyone else is eating. And, isn't that somehow defeating the purpose if we eat products that look like real meat products?-don't vegetarians WANT to eat differently?

yesterday i somehow got to a website that had this video on animal cruelty on farms(meat.org). and since like 11 am yesterday i have not eaten anything but bread because now all these animal products gross me out. so what i'm really asking is, is the situation on meat farms really this bad, because if it is then i will become vegan, or is this video really just making things worse than they really are?

Maybe I am wrong and they do, but I don't think vegans would wear wool. I understand they don't want to use any product that exploits animals, but I've always thought that sheep like to sheared in some way-because their wool is too hot in the summer and that it is just like a hair cut in that it doesn't actually hurt them. Am I wrong in thinking this way?

eat nothing but "bunny food" and think we nibble on carrots all day? My diet is more varied and interesting than most people that I know. I cook alot of exoctic ethnic foods, and my daughters lunchbox is often the topic of the day-the principal comes by to see what interesting foods she has. Her friends LOVE to eat dinner at my house. So many people criticize us for being vegetarian. We don't like meat, want meat, or need meat. We get all of the vitamins. protien and minerals we need from whole grains, vegetables and fruits. We are healthy and thriving. Why does vegetarianism seam like such a big mystery and "hippie" thing. It just a lifestyle, nothing more

I am vegetarian, and ate a pop-tart this morning. It was 'cookies and cream' flavor, and it seemed to have something that looked a bit like marshmallow in the center. I have heard that vegetarians can't eat marshmallows because they contain gelatin, which is made from animal fat. If anyone knows the ingredients, or has a box of them lying around their house they can read off to me, I'd very much appreciate to know the ingredients. Thanks!

I recently posted a topic about a bad experience I had at a restaurant involving a vegan who spit on my food because I ordered a lobster. I was at the restaurant with my family, I was rewarding my kids for a job well done in their home studies. My wife home schools our kids.

To make a long story short, I posted about the experience on Yahoo! and a poster by the name of panicfan4peace replied with "...was it worth torturing and killing an animal by boiling it alive just so you could feed your fat face".

In summary, "panicfan4peace" supported the actions of this waiter who spit in my food.

The question I have is this. Is it right for people to support these hate crimes carried out by vegans?

I have been researching genetically modified foods for the past few days, and had no idea about them before now. I recently read that 90 percent of SOY consumed in the US, has been so extensively modified that it can no longer even be considered soy. Originally, it was modifed with a gene made from pesticide to make it resistant to the pesticide sprayed on. Then, it was further modified with wheat and corn, making it toxic for people allergic to wheat or corn. Then, it was modified with SCORPION VENOM to make it more resistant to pests. This is happening with corn, wheat, cabbage, and other veggies. If this practice continues, what will the future hold for our children? Will they be able to obtain fruits, veggies, and grains in their natural form? I find it disturbing and wanted some outside input. I have an open mind, and am willing to consider all opinions. Maybe I just need some perspecti

I really need some advice for what happen to me and my family. We were dining at a nice restaurant the other day and a vegan apparenly spit in our food. I had ordered a surf and turf platter and this waiter made a shrewd comment when he set my plate down on the table. He commented that the lobster was boiled alive and he hoped it was worth it? I have no idea what he meant by that, but he said it in a rude tone of voice. After inspecting my food, I noticed a shiny spat on the lobster that looked like a loogie.

When I asked the waiter if I could speak to his manager, he said his manager was not available. I also asked him about the shiny spat on my food and he denied he spit on it. Me and my family were so humiliated by this experience that we just finished our meal and left the restaurant. My kids were traumatized by the whole experience.

Should I call the restaurant and try to follow up on this? or should I just let it go. My wife feels I should do something about it.

I am vegetarian, and have been since I was 15. I made a decision to refrain from eating meat based on my personal ethics. However, if I ever have children, is it ethical to inflict my personal views on to their diet and (if not) how do I reconcile buying meat, and cooking it, for them to eat?...
