Vegetarian & Vegan - April 2007

I don't eat meat. I don't eat fruits or veggies. Does that make me a vegetarian? Or do vegetarians have to eat vegetables and fruit?

I know soy milk COSTS more in the stores (because of demand), but what about to produce? Which also includes more production?

Assume the demand for milk and soy milk were the same, than which would cost more to produce?

Citing any sources would be helpful as well. Thanks.

You can see the list of top 10 for:
America's Best Vegetarian-Friendly Large Cities
America's Best Vegetarian-Friendly Small Cities
Canada's Best Vegetarian-Friendly Cities

I must admit I'm rather surprised a Texas city and Chicago Illinois made it to one of these lists (only shows my ignorance more than anything). I always used to be under the impression (correct or not) that Texas is not all that veg-friendly and Chicago also seemed like an unlikely candidate (I don't know maybe its because its in the mid-West?). I'm also a bit surprised that cities from Georgia made it to these lists because a distant relative of mine told me (he has been living in Alabama) and around that whole area (mississippi, alabama, georgia) its pretty tough to get veggie stuff. Maybe I/we were just misinformed?
Thought it might be interesting to read about these cities and what they offer. You can plan travels/moving that way too.

I would think that people who avoid eating meat and only eat everything other than meat would never be overweight. What do you know on this topic?

Anyone tried the Tofutti non dairy chocolate icecream? I had some today and it gave me diarrhea, big time. Is there such thing as having an intolerance towards foods containing soya? I had some chocolate milkshake my sis gave me some time ago and it also contained soya, had no idea at the time but that also made me go to the loo BADLY. Anyway, does it have some kinda laxative effect. I saw in the ingredients that it also contained guar gum and some other gum, could it have been that?! It tasted nice at the time (i was craving choc icecream and this was the only kind left at my local store). So do some soya products cause diarrhea for some people? Is this normal? Any input/comments would be greatly appreciated, no laughing please :p

I'm trying to eat healthier, but the only problem is I cannot stand fruit and am very selective about my veggies. The only way I can eat fruit and certian vegetables are if they are dried.

So, how do I dry them at home?

I consider it meat since its animal flesh. I mean the whole point of being vegetarian is that you dont want to cause suffering to animals that you cant prevent. So how can ppl consider themselves a vegatarian if they eat fish or poultry? I know there are different types of vegetarians, but how is that a vegetarian? Your eating meat so that ruins the whole thing.

I am just starting to take healthier foods in my lunch and I am trying to find out what I could take on my sandwiches. I don't eat meat so I can't have meat fillers. Also, there is no refriderator at school to keep my sandwich cold. Is there anything I could take that sounds healthy yet appetizing?

BLANCMANGE

Cashew Cream
2/3 cup (160 ml) cashews
1 cup (240 ml) water
1 pitted date
Pinch salt

Almond Filling
2 cups (480 ml) homemade Almond Milk or packaged almond milk**
1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated cane juice
3 tablespoons agar flakes*
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sprigs of mint leaves
1 pound (450 g) fresh grapes
Lightly oil a 3-cup mold and set it aside.

To make the Cashew Cream, grind the cashews to a fine meal in an electric mini-chopper/grinder or coffee grinder. Transfer to the blender and add the water, date, and salt. Start the blender on slow speed for a few seconds, then switch to high speed and process 1 to 2 minutes, until the liquid is smooth and creamy. Measure 1 cup (240 ml) of the Cashew Cream and put it into a 3-quart saucepan. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Cashew Cream will keep for one week. Leftover Cashew Cream can be used as a topping for fruit salad, pies, puddings, or other desserts.

Add the almond milk, evaporated cane juice, agar flakes, and almond and vanilla extracts.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Watch closely so the mixture doesn't boil over. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring frequently with a wire whip to dissolve agar.
Pour into the prepared mold and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours, until thoroughly chilled. To serve, gently loosen the edges with a flatware knife and unmold onto an attractive serving platter. Garnish with mint leaves, and serve with the grapes. Serves 6.
Note: If you make the Blancmange with homemade almond milk, sweeten the strained almond pulp with 1/4 teaspoon evaporated cane juice and add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Stir the mixture well and serve it on the side.
*Agar agar flakes can be found in the macrobiotic section of many health food markets; however, macrobiotic products can be a bit pricey. You can buy the agar agar very reasonably at a Japanese market and some Chinese markets. Purchase bars of white agar agar, also called kanten. Break the bars into small pieces and put them into the blender. In a minute or two, you'll have flakes that are perfect for gelling and binding desserts.

First off, I'd like to apologize for my ignorance and lack of consideration in the previous question I posted (which I deleted as soon as I turned on the javascript-enabled browser).
Anyways, just so you know where I am coming from, I only eat veg, but I accept that others vary anywhere between vegan and non-veg. My friends (veg or nonveg) eat what they want, I eat what I want, and we get along. Still I've had a few awkward experiences:
* once when vacationing in Hawaii, my mother and I were hungry in a mall and only found a seafood restaurant open. They had a veggie pasta dish we could eat but I felt out of place
* at an Indian fast food place, two friends and I caught a bite to eat. My friend, on his own accord, apologized to me for eating chicken in front of me, but I told him I'm used to it and that I appreciated his consideration. But I felt bad for him.
* I've read about some veg*ns saying they refuse to eat with non-veg*ns even if they're family...does this occur?

Hi. I'm 15 years old, and I have been a complete vegetarian since I was 10 (no meat, poultry, gelatin, and other by-products). Two years ago I decided to become a vegan, but my doctor told my parents that I was too young, so they didn't let me. As a strong animal rights activist, I feel like a hypocrite eating dairy products, since I'm aware of the extreme abuse of dairy-producing animals on factory farms. I've decided to become a vegan again, but I was looking at a list of what they can't eat, and it's overwhelming! What can I eat as a substitute for cheese, milk, eggs, etc.?

I need to lose about 20 lb, and everyone tells me the quickest way is to do a low carb or Atkins-style diet. Has anyone got any ideas to help a vegetarian? There's only so much cheese a girl can eat...

I don't know anyone who took this path.

I've seen the argument that people who give up land /air (but not sea) based animal consumption should be applauded because they're heading in the right direction, just taking a small step.

Currently, I don't consider it to be any different than someone who eats other animals. Though if it truly is a stepping stone, I might consider altering my view.

And for anyone who considers themselves "pesco-vegetarian" do you ever see yourself giving up fish, what would it take?

I was interested to know why some people felt they had enough jusification to become a vegetarian but not a vegan.
And why some people feel justified to eat fish or chicken but not other animals.
