Guest guest Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 This is only *my* opinion, but here goes. I don't care of McDs or Burger King makes veg burgers. I won't buy them. They're still getting your money, no matter what you buy, and they'll use that money, YOUR money, to kill more & more. Especially here in NY where there are SO many places to choose from, I'd rather give my hard earned $$s to places that are all-veg. They don't need your money. Sorry to sound harsh. There ARE other places to eat. ----- This Message was sent from Cybergrrl.com <http://www.cybergrrl.com/> Visit for free Internet Email, Forums, and Chat!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 A thought came to mind as I have been reading all the posts and recipes. It is amazing that when we are trying to eliminate all the unhealthy foods (meat, dairy, sugars, refined, processed foods) from our diets, we seem to try to duplicate these cultural acquired tastes with something of similar taste. Would it be wiser to eliminate the tastes too, and try and acquire healthy tastes for fresh whole natural foods instead? Otherwise we are going to always be enslaved to the old cultural acquire tastes, have cravings until satisfied, and fail to gain a healthy natural diet. Just a little food for thought. Got to run and make my tofu pumpkin pie and cashew whip cream. May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Sharon, I had this same thought when i first became a vegetarian. So much of my life had depended on meat that I didn't think it was possible to have meals without it. Now i spend most of my time trying new foods and finding new tastes that I enjoy. Rarely do i find that a vegetarian alternative to normally meat-filled foods is tastey or enjoyable (my only weakness are the chik-nuggets and corn dogs). But, on the whole, I think searching for new foods and tastes that excite your mouth and enliven your palatte is just a bonus to the vegetarian lifestyle. I have also used this logic to pursuade several of my friends to either become vegetarian or cut back on the meat in their diet. So thank you for sharing this insight, and hopefully others will take it to heart. Chris A thought came to mind as I have been reading all the posts and recipes.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2000 Report Share Posted November 28, 2000 Chris, It's probably why so many people fail when they try and diet or change their lifestyle. They just return to their old ways of cultural acquired tastes. I've even been reading a lot about trying to put more raw foods into the diet. Ideally a 75% raw and 25% cooked would provide a lot better nutrition. Once food is cooked the enzymes and vitamins are destroyed. Its amazing what enzymes do for the body. It's no wonder we are in such a diseased state. I seem to have a lot more energy when I eat raw foods in their natural state.
