Vegetarian & Vegan - September 2007

We are planning an open house for graduate students that will last for about two hours. For food, the plan is a sandwich bar, i.e. rolls, deli meats, cheeses, mustard and mayo, and some lettuce and tomato. Is there something we should add for vegetarians - I kind of feel like the lettuce, tomato, and cheese isn't sufficient. I've seen tofu bologna and the like before in the grocery, is it tasty stuff that you'd recommend?

Hello people. I got some sauteed string beans from the chinese food place earlier today, and now they are cold. Is it alright to throw them onto a pan and heat them up a little bit?

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?

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 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?

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?

Just because she was bored, and she wanted to see how long both of us could last. I think that she has it easy because she's Indian, and she eats a lot of spicy rice and stuff (Amazing stuff, isn't it?), and not as much meat as other people. I don't eat a lot of meat, I already eat a lot of veggie snacks/meals. But I wasn't really vegetarian. Will eating a lot more veggies and fruits and protein from the veggie meals cause me to lose weight? Like, compared to a diet of meat? I know, weird question, but I wanted to know. Thank you so much! Oh, and I don't mean to disrespect vegetarians and why they go veggie. We basically were just bored and wanted to try something new and perhaps a bit difficult, so I apologize ahead of time in case I hurt anyone's feelings. Just understand that I didn't do it on purpose, ;). SMILE! Thanks again, bye!

Well, my mom is pretty much forcing me to eat meat. But I hate it. Could I be a vegetarian without her knowing? and how? PS: I pretty much eat egg whites or toast for breakfast and pack my own lunch... but dinner is going to be a problem. (NO LINKS, my computer is screwed up and I can't follow any!!!)

Steak and mashed potatoes every day, so flavorless and boring! As I write this, I'm enjoying some pine nut and rice-stuffed vine leaves with jalapeno hummus on the side. Put some joy into your life, it will be a change from dead animal pieces.

I'm a vegan and I haven't found any sugar that is vegan- friendly. I have regular oatmeal and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good ways that I could add a bit more flavor. I add cinnamon sometimes, but of course it could be a lot better with sugar. Any good ideas?

Thanks!

Iam a vegetarian because i believe that animals shouldnt suffer for our taste buds and health because all vegetarians know that we as humans are not meant to eat meat hence our teeth etc and my other reason is i love animals to much that i cant put a piece of them in my mouth.

Does anyone feel that people become a vegetarian for the label?

I don't think they do.If they weren't truelly into being vegetarian then why do it?

I saw a similar answer to a question.


man or woman replied saying "People become vegetarian just to sound cool and have a label"


Why such a mean answer?


Im feel very strong about animal rights.


what is your opinion on this?


take care people :D xxx

Okay here is my question. My BF sister supposedly became vegan when I showed her how immoral it was to eat meat. The other day I saw her at a cafe with a friend of hers. She did not see me, but I say her eat an egg. I think she should be banned from our lives for this. I tried to talk to my BF about how he sould neve rspeak to her again, but he is hesitant. How can I show him that what she did is so immoral?

Do they need to say they use animal fat to make soap? Or is it a case if it doesn't say it doesn't use animal fat, it definitely has animal fat in the ingredient?

How about Fairy Liquid? (Sorry America, it's a British washing-up liquid. I am not trying to be flipp.)

I just became a vegetarian or lets say practicing to be a vegetarian. Its almost a week now but I am running out of option to eat. I just realized how much meat addictive we are, the restaurant menu system is based on meat. I want proper protein from food and more vitamins and stuffs. Please guide me if you are a true vagitarian. I am a lactointolrent too so I cannot drink milk or dairy product either but I do eat cheese and eggs. I just want to see if I can be successful in my mission to be a vagitarian without getting weaker?

I have tried twice to not eat red meat but after a few weeks I get very lethargic and extremly weak. I still eat chicken and fish sometimes. I was trying to cut out meat altogether but gradually. I thought something was wrong with my thyroid but it wasn't. Finally my husband said "eat some Steak girl" .within about 30 minutes I was feeling much better. so I eat it maybe every couple weeks, but just a small peice ,it seems to keep that weakness from returning.The next time I attempted Months later same thing happened all over again. So I ate some meat and same results. please help me .

A friend of my is HIV+ and I want to help him stay strong with a vegetarian diet. I'm an amateur chef so I'm very comfortable in the kitchen. My specialties are Asian, Indian and Italian cooking.

Does anyone, in general, know what nutrients would be essential for him to maintain a strong body, especially because of his condition? Also, if anyone has any suggestions for meals, I would love to hear them.

I personally walk everywhere I go because the transportation industry both directly and indirectly kills animals. Directly with things like leather seats and indirectly with things like polution.

I realize this is debatable, but to me, a true vegan would not own a car. That is like being a vegan and still eating meat.
