Vegetarian & Vegan - September 2007

Sorry to ask this kind of question but I'm concerned. I've only been a vegetarian for about a month and I've noticed a change in my stool. I've read other q&a's where people talk about going more often which is definitely the case for me but my question is has anyone experienced a change in the shape and texture? I just started noticing that they are thinner and longer. It almost seems like I can have an obstruction. Or like if it was coming out like the shape of my colon. Sometimes I get some that look like an "S". Is this normal since I changed my diet? Has anyone experienced anything like this after going veggie?

I already know I'm gonna catch it for this, but this is for those who don't respect the rights of others to eat meat. Now let me make something clear I have nothing against vegetarians, my sister in law in a vegan, but my brother and the kids aren't. She fully accepts that she can't change his mind or anyone else's about meat and has no issue eating at the family BBQs which are just about EVERY holiday.

What I want to know is why the 'EXTREME' veg heads seem to think that if they yell loud enough, protest long enough and attempt to gross out and shock the rest of us they will finally win us over? You don't want to eat meat? Fine. I do so back off. My family is from the south so I have seen more than my fair share of animals killed and fish cleaned, its gross but I am still the first one in the line to get food.

To quote, Denis Leary, "Meat is murder and Murder Tastes Good"

I'm getting one of those super juicers and i want to find out recipes.

What do you think is the most nutritious and best tasting juice that is a combination of vegetables or both vegetables and fruits?

Should we use fast food chains like Subway, Burger King etc to buy veggie products and hope that the more people buying flesh-free products will encourage them to cut down ordering meat-based products and indirectly saving animals lives on a bigger scale, OR should we have nothing to do with them ?

There are plenty of companies that DO NOT test on animals and they're very profitable. Why do some companies still test on animals, despite the fact that it has been proven that animal testing is not necessary?

I just switched my shampoo/condition (dove), and my soap (caress), to sauve. Saving money, and better for animals. I have a problem though, I still use dove deoderant. Does anyone know any brands that don't test on animals? Would Secret be okay?

I'm doing an assignment for the child care course I'm doing.

This assignment is on making a menu for a child with specific cultural requirements,in relation to food.

All the little Chinese and Indian kids at work eat regular Aussie food, and we don't have kids from other cultures, so I don't know what cultures have specific dietary requirements.

My question is do you know any cultures that have specific dietary requirements?

and

What sort of foods would you feed toddlers from this particular culture?

I just don't get it. You seem like a huge batch of hippies. Animals that are going to be slaughtered have no bill of rights. Your refusal to eat them is sending no message. Oh, and humans have been eating meat since the beginnign of time. Why is it okay to kill a plant? They must have feelings to. And how come you can wear your leather shoes? If I was a cow I would rather be eaten and digested, instead of walking around on someone's smelly feet for a year. explain that?

i have decided to become a vegetarian and am looking at vegan diet. I understand why you wouldnt eat eggs becasue of the cruelty towards the hens laying them for us. but what about if you rescued a chicken that was de-beaked and had its feet chipped. you could look after it so that it wouldnt be harmed and it would naturally lay eggs for you that you could eat. and even though the eggs are meant to be for reproducing. you could get a rooster and create new chicks but for the time that the hen is not interested in reproducing it would still lay eggs naturally and you could eat those eggs? you would be looking after the animals and getting a benefit of being able to eat their un needed eggs!

if your reason for not eating meat is because you think it is cruel...

then why don't you look in you closet, I want you to throw away anything that is made from an animal excluding wool.

Throw out those leather purses, handbags and shoes.

because they all come from animals...

grow up hippies


Why don't you do this?
















ps...we as a species are physiologically designed to eat animal. We can attribute much of our evolution to eating animals.

If it's your choice not to eat them because you don't like the taste ok....but if you don't because you think your doing the right thing...I apploud you for your decision, but we all think it's a bit rediculous.

Whats the point? Chickens have to lay unfertilized eggs, and Cows have to be milked or they get very cranky. These things are produced by the animal without any unnatural sufffering to the animal. Therefore to argue animal rights in this matter, is slightly twisting the truth... again whats the point and wheres the Justification for being a vegan?
