Questions

November 10, 2003

I thought it would be fun to do a little questionare to find out how vegans react in different situations. Fill it out if you want, there are no wrong answers, just thought it would be fun to compare and maybe learn a little. (Off subject, Double Rainbow Soy Cream has a new "eggless Egg Nog" in for the season. It is gooooooood!)

How would you explain what a vegan is to someone who didn't know?

A vegan is someone who doesn't believe in eating or using any animal products.

You went to a friends house, who spent a long time making a "vegan" meal just for you. Before you eat, you see one of the ingredients she used is a product that has "whey" in it. What do you do?

Apologize back and forth and tell her it is not vegan because of the whey. I try to discourage non vegans from making me meals for this reason. Although I do have a friend who is non vegan and a great vegan chef, so I eat his food.

You notice a mosquito in your room just before you go to bed. It's making an annoying noise and might bite you in the night. You have a good shot at it. What do you do?

I asked this question because a similar thing happened last night in my bathroom. I tried to catch her and put him outside but she got away.

You have 10 mice in your house, peeing on your stuff, eating stuff in your cupboards. Causing a riot. What do you do?

I had this happen too. I got these glue traps, then when one would get stuck we would release them in the park across the street. I wondered how humane it was because they suffered onthe glue trap before I found them and then got extremely scared trying to get them off. I had an internet friend who said her dog got one of those glue traps with a mouse stuck to it's nose, lol!

You go to a dinner with friends, and the main course and salad are "vegan" except for a teaspoon of honey in each. What do you do?

I explain that I don't eat honey.

You are making a vegan dinner for 8 non vegan friends at your house. What do you make?

I like to make curry dishes, stir fries, pasta dishes, and big salads. Also roasted vegetables. I am thinking of having a dinner party so I will be thinking about this soon. Oh! Also falafel in pita.

Your mother in law or other relative asks you if you can do a big favor and store a turkey in your fridge as hers is full of other thanksgiving trimmings. What do you do?

Nope. We have a rule no meat in the house, I had to kick out my sister in law's meat pizza the other night.

Someone gives you a chocolate bar that has no dairy or egg, and is from a good company. It is processed on a plant that processes milk and may contain trace elements. Do you eat it?

I did about a month ago. It was from the health food store and I didn't know if I should, then I felt kind of guilty afterwards. This place in town has great vegan chocolates, same deal, I do eat them sometimes.

No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back. -Turkish proverbFact: Each gallon of gas used by a car contributes almost 20 pounds of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. A single car driving 1,000 miles a month adds up to 120 tons of CO2 annually. Fact: One crop of hemp grown on one acre of land produces the same amount of pulpable fiber as one acre of 20 year old trees.
