Vegetarian & Vegan - October 2007

I've been trying to incorporate more fresh vegetables into my diet, such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and green leafy salad mixes...however, it's really kinda plain eating them straight up, I was wondering if you could share with me any ways to make them tastier? I make my own italian dressing for the salad, but as far as eating the other veggies, what can I do to them or eat them with? I used to dip them in a ranch dip, but that's not too healthy.

Also, any other simple ideas of preparing vegetables would be great too, so I can have them as sides for dinner. I like cooking vegetables but doesn't that get rid of a lot of the nutrients in them? Just give me your favorite ways to eat/prepare vegetables, thanks.

why cant you just not eat meat but still eat eggs (free roam, vegetarian fed) and milk where cows have been treated humanely? no suffering involved?
fyi, this isnt a biased question, i want to hear your opinions, i was just wondering.

I'm not familiar with all the different types of onions. I want to add them to my diet, but I'm looking for one that doesn't have a lot of odor.

Does anyone know of a specific onion that doesn't put off a strong smell?

Of all the things you've learned along the road to a veg diet, what would be the number one thing you would like to announce from the proverbial mountaintop?

Obviously the animals are hurt in some way in the fact that they die for the product. But what I'm wondering is, is there a certain brand that doesn't severely hurt the animals in the process of growing them to be food?

I'm seriously considering going vegetarian just after watching a youtube video of people harming the animals, but if there's a brand of meat that offers the animal a good life before they're killed(and killed quickly), I'd love to know.

I just discovered that these contain whey. However, they insist on being vegetarian, some of them vegan. Does this mean that the whey might come from another place, like plants rather then animals?

every time I buy a thing of yogurt (1/2 gallon I think) and leave about half of the thing left, after one day it always turns watery. is it still good to eat (or drink)? can I make it...not watery again? should I just freeze it? what should I do about my watery yogurt and is it still edible?

Would anyone be willing to let me ask them some questions (8-12) about vegetarianism for a research paper? You have to be a full time vegetarian. I'll just send you the questions in a message, If it's ok. Just send me a message. Thanks.

Who out there is vegetarian? Are you the only vegetarian in your family or is your whole family vegetarian? Do you have any favorite vegetarian or vegan foods? What, in your opinion, is the best thing about being a vegetarian?

Ive just cooked a ready meal (beef stew and dumplings) and the meat in it tasted rank and chewy, so much so ive binned it and made myself a stir fry with just veg and tomatoes.
This is the 4th time ive really been put off eating meat lately.

Tell me why you think I should stay a meat eater or tell me why I should give it up.

HI everyone.. Thought this would be a fun project for us here on YA because just a few minutes ago I read a question where someone asked if veg*ns can eat "jelly" Now, I have never referred to "Jello" as "jelly" But I THINK they do in England..

Anyway I think we'd benefit from our own little "u.S" to "U.K" dictionary. I'll start with two I know

"cookies" in U.S. are "Biscuits" in U.K.
"Biscuits" in U.S. are "scones" in U.K. (kinda)
"Sausage and mashed potatoes" In U.S. is "bangers and mash" in U.K.

Come on!! Those of you who know bi-continental English.. help us out!! Add some!

You should have SEEN the face of my Aussie friend the first day she arrived in America.. She asked what was for breakfast and we told her "biscuits and gravy!" LOL wish I could have captured her face...

Since I consider a job in Kiev, Ukraine, I would like to know if anyone know about the availability of Vegetarian food in Ukrainian restaurants and supermarkets, or maybe in health food stores. I heard it is more difficult to find Vegetarian food in Eastern European countries then in e.g. the UK.

and all of agribusiness really is not working in our best interest. I think I might be better off working at the organic vegetarian restaurant down the street.

On a lot of food packages it says that the food may contain egg or dairy, sometimes even fish - do you still eat these foods?

Personally I don't, but I'd like to hear other vegans' opinions.

My bf & I recently become vegetarians...and lately I've been having really bad breath and strong odors from my underarms...
My BF says that it's part of a detox when u go from eating bad junk to eating natural foods and that's the way of your body cleaning itself from all the damage..

Is that true? Is there anyway for me to maintain my breath? I hately smelling... :( (trust me it's not lack of brushing teeth or hygiene...)
