Vegetarian & Vegan - December 2007

My doc said that she vegetarians age faster than meat eaters. Could this be true?

I know real vegetarians do not eat seafood but im only 14 and being a vegetarian is so hard because i live with a family of meat eaters and they go to places like texas roadhouse and tgi friendays. im not going to tell them not to go there just for me. If i decide to do this i will only eat seafood when theres nothing else on the menu i can eat except salad. I will probably stop being a pescetarian and become a lacto-ovo vegetarian like i am now when i move out and can decide where to eat.
So do you think I shoould do it?

I can't find this answer. It's for a short quiz on a website. The correct answer would be greatly appreciated. :P

unfermented soy products are not heathy,i thought everyone knew that.Now with the added risk of GMO soy ,you would have to be starving to eat that,People do some research.
to feed it to a child should be criminal.how did we start eating this,they don't eat unfermented soy in asia,never have.

I am looking to buy a saddlestone (a cylindrical stone rolling against grain held in a stone bowl), or a quern (a horizontal, disk-shaped stone spinning on top of grain held on another horizontal stone). Does anyone know where I can buy one of either of these?

The reason I am asking this question in the V&V section is because I am going to use this to make vegan food for the homeless.

and every time i have some i either vomit or feel like i am about to vomit. The only vegetable i can stand is tomato in ketchup form and i even dislike french fries and potato chips but i eat them for the fact they are vegetables and i don't throw up from them. I used to have to take a vitamin when i was younger but the doctor said for some reason i didn't need it anymore.

So what exactly do vegetables do for a persons body? I already am extremely healthy in all aspects of my physical life, so do i really need to eat the recommended amount of vegetables per day for a person?

I am a vegetarian. It isn't because I fight for animal rights, but I just don't like the taste of meat and it nauseates me. I will eat meat occasionally, but my parents don't seem to understand that I detest meat, especially red meat! I need a way to be creative with food I have around my house so I don't go hungry all the time. Any ideas?

I had a debate with my brother on this. Which has more digestible protein, a pound of egg? or a pound of hemp seed? I looked for a broken down chart given me percentage or some other measurement of this and cannot find one. I heard once that hemp seed has more digestible protein than any other natural source.

It is well known that eating too much meat is a factor in a lot of health problems like heart desease and kidney failure. However do you think it is worth it to go out of your way to never ingest meat? Why or why not?

Where there are just no vegetarian options available?

For instance, where I am from (Southeast USA) most people are used to even putting meat in their vegetable dishes. So, if you go to a family gathering, for instance, where this is the situation, would you compromise, or just wait until you go home to get something to eat?

(This is similar to my last question but maybe more to the point.)

I've started being a vegetarian about a little more than a week ago and have only been eating seafood. But yesterday my best friend made a giant piece of ham for christmas and talked me into eating a large piece. So I woke up today and immediately felt really nauseous with a weird queasy stomache. Is not eating meat for a week then eating a large piece of ham causing my stomache ache or is it probably something else?

Thanks a lot. There's seriously nothing worse than feeling nauseous.

I'm wanting to transition into it, rather than a dramatic change. Anything that worked for you, and links/websites with nutritional information, meal plans, etc. Would be helpful.

Thanks!

In order to fully participate in the family activities?

Or are there other circumstances where you would eat meat?

Thanks.

In my school we have to do a 10 page research paper on a contraversal topic. I chose animal rights stating that we should outlaw slaughter houses and only have locally grown animal bi-products because of the cruel way the animals are treated in the slaughter houses. I live in the Northern Ca.(say San Francisco and north) And I need 2 people to interview ( pro and con) any ideas? Much appreciated Happy Holidays!

There is a vegetarian group that is meeting and I found out through a friend that they allow people to bring boiled eggs to a potluck. They claim that eating eggs is not cruel, but they are in need of being educated. The reason I say this is because most eggs are not cruelty-free.

I am thinking of going to the next potluck with some picket signs with pictures of egg-laying hens confined inside battery cages in total darkness. The pictures were taken with an infrared camera. I want these so called "vegetarians" to know the truth about. Vegetarians like these are giving us real vegetarians (the vegans) a bad name.

The reason I say this is because meat eaters use the whole egg thing to justify eating meat. Meat eaters will say "Oh, I know a person who says they are a vegetarian, but they eat eggs". This is why I think we should become vegans because it doesn't give the meat eater anything to use to try an justify their lifestyle.

I have to chop lots of parsley and currently I use a chef's knife with a cutting board and it works great, but it is not a very good way when you have to chop a lot. I have a 5 gallon bucket of parsley to chop. I am going to make tabouli for the homeless. I do have a food processor, but I don't want to use it because it ruins the texture. The vegetable chopper I have gives it he right texture, but it can only chop a handful of parsley at a time and that will take me forever. What would be nice is if I could find a large vegetable chopper that could chop large amounts of parsley at one time.
