Vegetarian & Vegan - November 2007

I've been a vegetarian since the end of August, and I've been living off of pizza and muffins. (I've also been drinking protein shakes every night - and vitamin pills) I'm SUCH a picky eater by the way.

I need a good vegetarian meal to try. Any ideas?

today i ate:
-2 baked patatoes(a little butter and a little A1 sauce)
(don't ask about the A1 sauce. its a little fetish of mine)
-salad(including:lettuce,carrots, and a catilian french sauce)
do you think thats to much or should i start eating a little more?

recently i have become a vegetarian. i'm not sure if it will have a huge affect on my health or not. so, also, what kinds of food should i eat to maintain healthy?(without eating meat)

What are the best, in your opinion, fake meat brands? I'm looking for ones that taste meat-like in texture and taste (sad to say, I still love the taste *feels guilty*) or anything that just is good. Thanks in advance. :) And yes, I already know tofu, tempeh, etc. can also be used. Brands that use them, though, would be nice. Vegan brands would be prefered, too, though not neccessary.

My friend, who is a vegan, made a terrible mistake. She bought a goldfish at the pet store for a Christmas gift for her brother. I told her it was immoral for vegans to go to a pet store and even more immoral for a vegan to buy a pet. She said itis only a .25 goldfish. I think she is so wrong. To make matters worse she is a leading member of our animal rights group. How should I make her see that she is wrong?

Can anyone recommend a good vegan or dairy-free cookbook? Particularly for desserts? And one that doesn't call for a lot of weird, hard-to-find ingredients?

BTW I can do eggs but not dairy. Thanks!

I've grown up eating a vegetable a day at dinner... and thats about it. Sometimes growing up we'd have veggies at lunch time or a salad for lunch... but again, thats about it.

I don't know the first thing about preparing vegetables and making them taste good enough to eat... what are some good ways to get started eating more vegetables?

I have nothing against meat or animal products - I enjoy them to be honest, but this is about eating more healthy and trying to show my 1 year old son that veggies are good!

I dont think there is but I want to make sure I have been given some pills by my Doctor and I dont *need* to take them they say they contain lactose and I dont want to have them if they dont go with my values of veganism. Could it be some synthetic type? What should I do. I will be fine if I dont take them, but I want to nkow if I can.

I live in a military community over seas and I want to get Ener-G egg replacer. The commissary here is pretty big and I don't know where(what section) to look for it. Most of the people who work in this commissary are not americans and they just don't know what I'm talking about.

let's say you met someone at a vegetarian restarant and became friends. Over time you observed your new friend eating a lot of vegtables, fruit, and vegetarian meals and just naturally assumed he/she was a vegetarian but it was never discussed. You also really like this person and value the friendship. Then a month later there he is at the Whole Foods dining area wearing a leather jacket and chowing down on prime rib! (grass fed, organic beef BTW)
Yes you're surprised but do you now think less of this person? Betrayed in any way?

I want truly human grade (as in USDA certified, or certifieable) cat food, but I don't want to have to prepare food at home for my kitty. So far, she likes By Nature Organics and Innova Evo. She doesn't like Wellness, Newman's Own, or Prairie (I know! A very very picky kitty!). Also, I've considered trying to work more vegetarian options into her diet (I'm a vegetarian and veganish and feel bad about contributing to slaughterhouses), but I'm worried about urinary infections. I've read those can be a problem w/ vegetarian cats.

So i guess this is really two questions:

1) What's the best meat-based prepared cat food?
2) Anyone out there had luck w/ a vegetarian diet? If so, were there problems and how did their health compare? What were you feeding them before, and so on?
3) Which is healthier overall: a very premium meat-based diet or a vegetarian diet. I know that a vegetarian one is superior to the commerical crap--the friskies and so on--but how does it measure up to a good diet?

winter jackets! i live in new york where it can get below zero, so i need more than just a fleece lined jacket. i used to wear down, but after hearing about the cruel ways they pull the feathers from the ducks, i would rather a vegan alternative. hopefully not much more than $50.
thanks in advance...

I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian. The one thing is, I don't know where I should get my protein from. I'm allergic to all soy products, and I'm not very fond of eggs, but I'm okay with eating dairy products.
any help would be appreciated.
