Vegetarian & Vegan - November 2007

Whether you believe evolution, Creation (Genesis version), random intelligent design, or whatever -- why do we have teeth that are VERY useful when it comes to the eating of meat?

Just curious, like I said.

Thanks all!

i love animals, hate animal cruelty, and will probably be a vegan in the future when i live on my own and can buy my own food.

but for now...

eating meat is apart of life. Its natural. we eat meat, then we die. we go into the earth and grass grows. who eats grass? COWS. and it goes around. its the natural circle of life. we eat animals, they eat us.

The reason why MOST PEOPLE are vegetarians is because THE PROCESS they use to grow and kill the animals is cruel. and i agree with that.

but being a vegetarian is stupid.... its like being a half-assed vegan. if you're gonna boycott animal cruelty, be a vegan.

oh and also, fruits and vegetables are alive too. way to go and kill them for food. i guess you just shouldnt eat anything at all.

so do tell me, why are people vegetarians then? whats your reason?

do people ask you why you are a vegatarian?
i get people asking me all the time. and when i answer them, they always say "God made animals for us to eat!" and my answer is always the same:
"God made a lot of things, doesnt mean i have to use them!"

does any vegetarian have people saying this to you?

I have many vegan friends who refuse to support Ozzy Osbourne because he bit the head off of a bat at one of his shows, a dove at a meeting, and has killed over 20 of his animals in a drug induced rage.

They also hate Ted Nugent because he promotes hunting and Alice Cooper for sluaghtering pigeons during his shows.

Is this common for most vegan/vegeterians. Do you also refuse to listen to them because of their animal treatments?

I do not plan to go fully vegetarian, but I would like to add more vegetarian meals to my diet. I like tofu stir fry and bean burritos, but I'm looking to expand my repertoire. Any suggestions for a really good cookbook? I'm cooking for myself, my husband and two toddlers.

Does anyone know where I can buy vegetarian mincemeat in the UK? I have tried the Health Food stores but no one seems to stock. I don't want the vegetarians in my family to miss out on the mince pies at Christmas.

I want to make my own soya milk. Does anyone have a great recipe. I usually use W/Worths organic soya milk which has the nicest taste or Vita Soy which is low in additives and good quality.
Also, I noticed there are Soya milk machines e.g. "SoyQuick" but can I just make it with my blender? I haven't looked for a machine yet and am not sure if we have one here in Australia.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Marceau.

Other than beans, what other plant or vegetable will help provide the daily protein requirement of an adult? I don't think a person would want to eat beans every day, if you know what I mean.

My neighbor, who converted me to veganism, is mad cause I gave my daughter chalk to play with. She told me politely that chalk is not vegan because it made up of animal by-products. I said this taking things too far. She told me when it comes to animals, one can never go to far. I said I refused to take the chalk back to the store. I got mad. Should I stop being a vegan cause of her? Am I really immoral?

How will you be spending Christmas Day? Will you be able to enjoy a nice meal, or will you be sitting amongst meat-eaters, watching them eat dead animals? I live in France, and Christmas meal here mean foie gras and lobsters boiled alive. This year I'm lucky though, I will be able to avoid that kind of meal, and my Christmas will be 100% vegan! How about you?

Proteins can be divided in to animals or vegetables. High biological value proteins are another name give to animal protein. The reason why it is called high biological proteins is because they contain all the eight essential amino acids which are including meat, fish, cheese and eggs. In contrast plants are called low biological values protein because it deficient in more then one of the essential amino acids. If these two proteins are added together it becomes a complete protein. An example of this is baked beans and toast. Bread if deficient in one or two amino acids and beans are deficient in another amino acid together they give a complete protein meal.

I've been thinking a lot about cutting meat out of my diet, for health reasons mostly, but of course also because I do not want to support the current meat industry.

The last few years I went from regular meat to free range and biological meat, eggs and milk.

I have just one concern. And it's silly. But it's still a concern. I know I won't be able to do it all in one day and I have to take baby steps. My goal is to cut out all meats, but to continue eating dairy and eggs (free range of a local farm). I've been researching and reading a lot about a healthy diet, about the community and have seen a lot of people voice their opinions.

Here's the concern, do vegetarians and/or vegans look down on people who eat meat or on flexitarians or those that eat dairy or eggs? I see some pretty harsh comments around and it's for me a block in taking the step, because I don't judge people and dont want to be part of such a judging community.

for people who advocate a vegan lifestyle i would like to know why they are opposed to milk and dairy products. i mean as long as the animals are treated humanely in the milking process what is so wrong with it?

How can you describe your interpretation of Organic and Natural foods and products? In your own words, describe what you first think or feel, when you see/hear the words “Organic or Natural.” I’m doing some research for my marketing class on the effectiveness of advertising of the Organic Food market, and need some help from others to illustrate my thoughts. I need to advertise this idea and want to really grasp the attention of my consumer (professor) and just need some descriptive words/thoughts/phrases of what you believe describe the Organic Industry.
