Miss cute is absolutely correct. Many things will kill you before red meat will. Besides, you can not beat a filet mignon cooked to perfection, still pink in the middle with juices flowing. Yummy!!!

Skim milk is all we have, supposedly it's the steriod-free one (at least that's what the label says).
Still though, cheese is starting to make me sick.

i like it... it feels better on my stomach and it actually tastes better (there's not a huge difference in the taste- it just kinda tastes better, if that makes any sense)... a friend of got me hooked on it... i was surprised by how much of a difference those steriods and shit make... it makes sense that you wouldn't shoot up on steriods and breast-feed a child... so, it seems wierd that shoot cows up with steriods and then drink that shit like there's no tomorrow...

As far as tofu goes, I like Hinoichi Firm... it's all I buy. It's standard practice for me to slice it, lengthwise, and place between papertowels for a few minutes, under a weighted plate. This removes a great deal of the water. It also makes the tofu, when cooked, an lot more pleasing in texture - for those who care. I can eat the stuff right out of the container it comes in.

I'm sure they have fat free, right? I may try it

There is something to be said for nurturing the ability to walk into anybody's house or restaurant, and no matter what they put in front of you, eating it and enjoying it.

CalhounSq said:

yeah... there's whole, 2%, .5%, fat free... the whole deal... we only drink the fat free, though... my wife bought the whole by accident once... it was like drinking cream... i had to dilute it with some water... :LOL:...

LaVisHh said:

Ahh, that's good to know I thought all tofu was chunky & gross based on that one experience but I'll try again. Good tip on how to prepare it, thanks

It's not a sacrifice...it's an adaptation. I'm perfectly healthy and happy eating EVERYthing. Except chitlins.

Questions for the vegetarians: do you find it to be a more expensive way of eating? Seems like you'd have to be in the grocery store at least 3 times a week to keep fresh food in the house I tried it for a week & just couldn't keep up!! Thank goodness for Boca Burgers, LOL...

look at that beauty

OOH I do love a good steak, that'll be my weakness... :X

CalhounSq said:

believe it or not, i eat cheaper now... unless i'm buy boca-stuff or tofo or something... otherwise, you're mostly just buying the same things- minus the meat... that is, assuming you're eating vegetables and grains and stuff already...

I shop once a week, no problem. I prefer fresh fruit and vegetables. Shopping lists come in handy.
Indeed, Boca Burgers rock... I also like their sausages and spicy chicken patties.
Morning Star Farms tomato/basil burger, and buffalo wings. rock too. My daughter likes the chicken nuggets.

See...what's the matter with this picture:

You're trying to simulate the flavors of the foods you can no longer eat--you still crave them!

They don't make me sick, though.

Hmm...so you became a vegetarian because meat made you sick? I guess there's no argument against that...

teller said:

I don't ... but admittedly I've never been a meat eater so I don't feel I am missing anything. For people who become vegetarian later in life, I'd imagine it is a tougher process, a significant lifestyle change.

We do grocery shopping once a week... we get huge sacks of rice and stuff too, fresh tofu and things like that. Easy peasy.
