NEW MEMBER! (plus tips on travel & eating out)

[Guest guest]

Hello Rashunda: I'm about 90% vegetarian and the only trouble I have

is traveling or eating out. We eat out less and less because I

simply don't trust the ingredients/cleanliness that are in restaurant

food to make it " taste better. " Fast food is a problem on the road.

My wife (100% veg)and I usually drop by a supermarket and eat lunch

there because you can find veggie items in most of the larger

chains. At restaurants, we usually ask if the kitchen can make an

entree substituting a non meat item. Friends, our numbers are

growing rapidly and most decent restaurants offer a veggie entree

section. When we fly (a lot) we usually try to tote on our veggie

food in one of those insulated lunch sacks. Airline food is " prison

fare. " The extra effort is worth feeling better away from home.

Thanks for letting me share. Jeffkukz
