Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the tips about Veganomicon. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I don't post often, but read as much of the list as possible. I am on a very low grain (not just gf) diet, so am even more restricted than most people here. I do need to say, just in passing, that I take offense at the pejorative use of the phrase " hippy food " . I have been defined as a hippy, so that is part of why it hurts my feelings. But I also dislike stereotyping in general. And, in fact, without us " hippy " purists, folks like me who for years have been exploring/buying/producing/selling alternatives, rather than just complying with what General Mills want us to eat, a lot of the books and products and small independent (ie " hippy " ) companies that you like would not exist. Just my thoughts... Donna Faith K-Brooks www.unskoolbookshop.com ------ k arizma wrote: > > Hi Sally > > First of all, LOVE your blog. > > Second, another poster listed Veganomicon.
