mazakman Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 they're the only large chain of restruants who actually cooks with wood as far as I know.hmmm..... I have ordered thier sauces by the case before... wonder what customs thinks of shipping that? "eggplant still tastes like eggplant. meat tastes like murder and murder tastes pretty *** good" Well I'll soon find out their policy on international orders and deal with customs if need be. MMMMMMMM.. meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticaFLM Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Ahem....yes my Vegan thread has been hijacked by talks of BBQ.....Anywho Come on guys...I have a sense of humor....I expected some of you to tease me...it would be odd if you didn't :-p....but bigred and maza....still silly men :-p. DOn't you think Bryan is giving me a hard time....dangling jerky in front of me etc etc. Anyway...yes the FDA regulates slaughterhouses....but they look the other way on a lot of stuff. I'm sure there are some reputable ones out there. Like I said...I grew up on a farm....I knew some great farmers who treated their animals like family....until...they knocked them in the head of course. I don't have a problem with fresh clean meat....and I mean completely clean....but it's hard to come by if you don't live in a certain area...and i'm just choosing not to eat it anymore. Don't get me wrong....i'm a girl...but I could tear a big thick steak up in minutes. Yes...chocolate is my weakness....there is such a thing as vegan chocolate....and Bryan had better be looking into it for his own safety :-) Seriously though....i'm not eating like a rabbit....there's soy products out there that are awesome.I love Morning Star corndogs! I eat whole grain breads...pastas...etc etc. I'm completely satisfied.....I just need to find some chocolate....alternatives....and some nice EASY recipes. Bottom line is...I feel good :-)...and my immune system is great...unless of course i'm stressed....and I am often....with work. I understand though...I know some of you just don't have the self control and strength to handle not eating/drinking all the nasty stuff that's bad for us ::giggle:: Edited August 8, 2007 by CelticaFLM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 A female talking of self-control? Well I wish you the best of luck. As long as it's your choice and you think it'll benefit you, that's great. Though I am curious, have you talked to your dietician about this? If so, what did they say? S/he may be able to give you a bit of advice on products and things to look for in terms of ingredients. The only risk with chocolate "substitutes" is the stuff they tend to put in them, which is what you're trying to avoid. Sucralose, aspartame, et cetera. Nothing like stuff that breaks down into formaldehyde in your system . But on topic... http://www.cok.net/lit/recipes/ They seem to have a good amount of recipes there. http://vegweb.com/ A bit more focused on vegetarians, but still may have some good stuff.

Last time I did....I discovered Anemia....not from lack of Iron...but B12....I've fixed my diet and now i'm fine. Our bodies are amazing enough to let us know when something is wrong....if I start to feel sick...i'll stop what i'm doing and go to the doc....to make sure i'm not deficient in anything. I'm trying really hard to eat a balance of everything though. I'm avoiding the artificial sweeteners as well....no "diet" chocolate....i'm looking for the REAL stuff...75% cocoa....with soy....etc. There's a few vegan chocolate bars i'll probably try. "Endangered Species" is supposed to be pretty good. I'm not worried about trace amounts of milk products.....it's hard to keep it out of the candy when they are made in the same factory as the others laden with milk. Coolermaster....in response to the fish thing....I do take fish oil....i'm still thinking about getting some fresh salmon.....I dunno...maybe in a few weeks i'll introduce fish back into my diet.....maybe.

Bleeble Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 It's still probably a good idea to talk to a pediatrician or dietician to make sure that your vegan diet is going to have the positive effects you're hoping for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticaFLM Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I'm...a bit....old... for a pediatrician Well....Bryan (hubby) will have to drag me to one kicking and screaming cuz i'm not going Seriously...I probably will in a few months just to make sure my iron and B12 is ok....of course...last time I was anemic I could feel it...I just wanted to sleep ALL the time. And besides....once a baby is in the picture i'll be going to the doc..A LOT....yay Anyone have a good hummus recipe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Still, you should visit a dietician, as they may have a bit of advice on how to be the best on your vegan diet. It may not always seem like it, but that 6+ years of college does help out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkJenT Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 What drives me crazy about Peta and Vegans is how they state mother nature never intended for humans to be omnivores. Here is where I find them to be most hypocritical. Ever heard of evolution? The diet of any animal or human for that matter will need to change in order to survive in changing enviornments. So, let's take the Little Ice Ages, which occurred three times between the 16th - 19th century. Well.... let's see... colder climate isn't suitable for growing crops, so wait... oh yea, there are animals for humans to hunt. I guess if humans were not able to eat meat, I guess they would not have survived in colder climates. Especially when many humans relied on hunting, oh... like Native Americans during the winter season. Oh, and by the way, mother nature did intend for us to be omnivores. What the heck is the point of being at the top of the food chain when you can't enjoy eating both plants and animals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
