Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi Debbie That sounds delicious. I don't think Debbie could change her life - she asked for an opinion on whether being married to a military man was okay with the vegan ethic. I think the general concensus was that it is good to support your loved ones, but that some of us don't admire the military. Half of the discussion was about Buddhism. It had nothing to do with diet. I agree with you on that - there is no good preaching about it to people.
