Moo - cravings

I also feel that nutritional needs play a part in cravings. One product

I found a few years ago that I love is Stonewall's Jerquee.

basically, vegan jerky. Comes in a bunch of different flavors. One of

the little bags usually lasts me a week or so. I'll just much 3 or 4

pieces as a snack. Might be good for new vegetarians. Also has a lot of

protein and iron.

I think other things also play parts in cravings. Tastes, textures.

Memories. Cinnamon toast & Saturday morning cartoons. Junior Mints &

the movies. SpaghettiOs & home with dad. Lucky for me, all of these

have vegetarian substitutes. Anyone else have these memory cravings?

I sometimes get comfort food cravings too! LIke, I love mashed potatoes the way

my mom used to make them- with the peels left on. This was one of the only good

dishes that she could make.

Whenever I am sick, I want eggplant parmesan. Which is weird- it's not a food

that I ate as a kid. It's just a food that makes me feel good.

Also, when I am menstruating, I crave salty food and sweets. I guess that's

hormonal.
