Forum: Vegetarian Discussion

I found the blog of a girl who specializes in raw vegan cuisine. I tried out some of the recipes and my boyfriend was begging me to make more! I tried her raw Raspberry Lemon Pie (made from creamed cashews) and it was the hit of a potluck. This beautiful girl is invited around the country to...

Thanksgiving is almost here! This will be our (DH and me) first Thanksgiving as vegetarians. Last year we had started going vegetarian somewhat, but we hadn't completely given up meat and did eat turkey on Thanksgiving. (That was actually the last piece of meat I ate, I thought I could do it...

I'ma vegetarian, and am hopefully transitioning to veganism. For the record I don't eat fish, nor would I, since turning vegetarian. My question is, it's quite an established myth that one can be a vegetarian, and eat fish. Where does this come from? What is the rationale behind it? Is the...

I've been a vegetarian for several months. It's just in the past week or so, that I'm becoming more and more disgusted at people around me eating meat. Today I had lunch with three friends. I had a salad and vegetable sandwich, while they chewed and choked on various dishes, all laden with...

And here it is! A brand-new, shiny thread just waiting to be filled with stupid comments, groans, face-palms-- and maybe even a few laughs! Version 1.0: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/s...ead.php?t=5060 Version 2.0: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/s...ad.php?t=50491 Version 3.0:...

Saturday - Halloween - What's for dinner? Me: Pasta with tomatoes and red peppers, salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a glass of red wine ( got to love Saturdays!) You???

I've noticed some people have said that they have to take medication which has a gelatin capsule. I haven't checked mine yet as I assumed there was nothing I could do about it, but is it possible to ask your doctor to give you medication that is veg*n friendly? I live in the UK but advice from...

I have noticed this new trend on websites....:stinkeye: Semi-vegetarian: Person who most always follows vegetarian eating patterns, but may occasionally consume animal foods. From the Campbell's Soup Glossary. http://campbellsoup.ca/en/nutrition/glossary.asp#VEGETARIAN There is no such...

What are they? What annoys you? Four things that annoy me: #1- The fish question. Just about all of us have been asked it. Enough said. #2- Vegetarian pizza. I hate vegetarian specialty pizzas because they have a bunch of stuff I really don't like on it like green bell peppers, onions,...

I'm looking for some good, easy lunch ideas for my husband. We are relatively new vegetarians (I'm actually hoping to go vegan in the near future, but I don't think he can give up his cheese!) and the only part we're really struggling with is lunches for him. He is on the road most of the day...

So I love to watch most things on the Discovery chanel. However I have noticed that they show some stupid ****. I am watching a show on the Colossal Squid and there is some boat who accidentally snagged a live C.Sqid and try for hours to captivate it leaving it half out of water and half in...

Holy cow, there's a heck of a lot more to cooking this thing than I thought! I hope it's worth it. Well over 3 hours in the oven and some prep to do too. Oh well, I'll give it a shot. We are having dinner on Sunday night (celebrating Thanksgiving early) so it's thawing now. Crossing my...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJnHoOxhzY4 Now..I'm not mad at him for being atheist and me believing in God. It's this *Right here*, this video...that pissed me off. I can't believe that! He's made another video about vegetarianism too (like a skit)..and it was pretty bad..but this..it's just...

Hey there everyone, I don't really know what I am trying to say here but I will give it a shot. I don't understand how everyone can not think the way I do....now I know that sounds extreme, but I supose what I mean is, How can humans turn away from the pain and suffering they cause for the ...

One thing I observed that when I always go vegetarian I last out about 3-4 weeks and then develop: - concentration problems :sick: - a sensation of hunger that seems to get satiated with meat :furious: - thinking a lot about food :hungry: - protein paranoia and obsessing about weight :mad:...

Hi all, I had my first bowl of Tofutti strawberry frozen dessert yesterday and it tasted ok, but it was kinda....powdery. Does anyone know of any alternatives that are available in the UK? What do you prefer? Thanks! :up:

I think i want to do a bit of a system cleanse, nothing too hard core. I'm going to get some psyllium hulls to help 'scrub' the system. I stopped eating meat about 6 weeks ago, and i think while i'm doing the cleanse i'm going to eat as much of my food raw as i can. Anyone recommend anything...

Isn't that good news? Someone offered me some BBQ chicken today at work and when I told her "No thanks, I'm a vegetarian" she told me that I didn't look like a vegetarian. I didn't know how to respond, so I didn't. I do wish I had a snappy one-liner for that statement. :brood:

Man, I dig this book. I'm reading the preview on google books, and am greatly impressed. I wish I had this book 20 years ago ... :) The fact that Adams' approach to the problem of 'life among the savages' (Henry Salt reference :) ) closely mirrors my own has nothing to do with my...

Hey Everyone, So I am currently at work (emergency vet clinic) and everyone knows I am vegan and aside from little jokes, they are all cool with it. Well there are a few people who like to tease me about what I eat (currently, It was an amazing bunch of veggies on a tray) For some reason...
