because of all the protein. and dried fruit for iron. i almost never eat soy. i use rice milk on cereal. ya know, i'm pretty sparing with beans because i find i can't digest them very well. soy is fine. green beans and lima beans are fine. but kidney beans and pinto beans and black beans? got some problems there. you can't knock the nutritional content, though - this is very true.  (trying not to make white people jokes...) | |

i have an obnoxious (more than me, even) older brother who calls that kidney bean chili "WP chili." he mortifies his wife (now his ex, but that's quite another story...) | |

Anx said: u2prnce said: I have a question for the vegetarians and vegans. I have food allergies, which includes soy. Is there a way to be a vegan or vegetarian and NOT have soy as a staple of your diet? Not thinking of converting, just wondering.
i can't speak from a vegan perspective, but as a lifelong vegetarian, there are tons of meat-free dishes you can make that don't include soy...in fact, you probably already eat some of them! a lot of the meals i make for myself are rice-based. i'll make stir-fry or i'll mix store-bought simmer sauces with mixed veggies and serve that over rice. also, i've recently discovered the joy of frozen breaded eggplant slices - slap a few of those in a sandwich with a bit of barbecue sauce and you've got something that's even better than a soyburger.  The only problem is rice is also one of my main food allergies, along with wheat, soy, and dairy. None of them are life-threatening but they do make me feel awful if I eat too much of any one or combination. I seem to be able to handle milk if it's the lactose intolerant kind. I just love cereal too much(Frosted Flakes...mmmm) to drop milk altogether. It sucks having food allergies. I also have regular air-borne allergies too. *sigh*
I feel like if I became a vegetarian where wheat, soy and rice were a big part of my diet, my allergies would go off the deep end. Although, maybe if I mixed it up a little I could accomplish it. Honestly, though I love eating meat and see no reason to stop. It's something I'm not allergic to and I like it. I just got into sushi and I wouldn't want to give that up, either. I do actually like the taste of soy milk--and I started drinking it because of Prince's line in "Animal Kingdom"--but I no longer drink it because of my allergy. | |

and there's also good ol' pasta. i usually just get a nice meatless spaghetti sauce and doctor it up with lots of vegetables. this, with a side of steamed broccoli, is a really good veggie meal. i'm also a big fan of gnocci (potato pasta), which i like to prepare in a wok with a bit of olive oil until it's nice and crispy.

I have no idea--my ENT doctor just tests on rice(no delineations), which I assumed means white rice. But perhaps it covers all rices. If I have the choice(like in a Chinese restaraunt) I usually go for brown because it's healthier. I love Fruity Pebbles too, and they're rice. Seriously, my diet's awful | |

Seriously, my diet's awful well, i was just thinking that you might be okay with wild rice or organic rice, but i'm the last person to know about such things. i just couldn't imagine having to worry about the rice in my diet...sometimes i just like a hot bowl of rice with sweet and sour sauce as a snack or even as a light meal. how are you with pasta? | |

Seriously, my diet's awful Do you like almond milk? I think it's delish on cereal. If you're allergic to white rice, then you're allergic to brown. Anx is right that you might be ok with wild rice, though. In any case, that is a CRAPPY set of allergies to have. Tying to avoid wheat and rice would be a royal pain in the ass.

In any case, that is a CRAPPY set of allergies to have. Tying to avoid wheat and rice would be a royal pain in the ass. It does suck, but I don't really let it stop me from eating what I want. Since my allergies kind of criss cross(and cover all the major food groups) I don't really cut anything completely out of my diet, but I do watch my intake. I just have to control how much and how often I eat stuff I'm really allergic to. Moderation in all things like my man Benjamin Franklin said 
Haven't hear of Almond milk. Maybe I'll give that a try sometime. | |
