Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is Andrea. I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years. I

don't eat meat, or processed sugar. But, I do still eat meat

byproducts, pasta, and bread. I need to cut out the dairy, and reduce

the starches. I am looking to focus more on raw foods to eat and live

healthier. I would love input on diverse raw foods recipes and

diversify my diet. (afarnie)

Okay, now I'm all confused LOL But it's still

very early in the morning for me, so that's not

surprising!

 

Wonderful that you've been vegetarian for 10

years - a great achievement. But not sure what

you mean by meat byproducts - if you mean things

like gelatin, meat stock, lard, etc., then you're

kinda semi-vegetarian, right? Fine with us - we

have all kinds of eating habits on this group,

and all we ask is that people don't talk about

eating animals or dead animal products in their

messages nor include those things in their

recipes. Simple, eh?

 

> I need to cut out

Well, the dairy is pretty easy to lose - I took

time over it myself (sad to say) because of

eating out and falling back on cheese when

decisions got tough, but I quickly found a

routine of eating without all that We have

lots of vegan recipes here - but they're not

always marked vegan. And if there are lacto

recipes you can usually adapt them pretty easily

too. Ask if you need help, okay?

 

If you are reducing starches for some reason,

then we also have lots of recipes for those kinds

of dishes, although since this is by no means

intended as a weight-loss group or even a health

group (those groups are elsewhere and I could

recommend a few that I like particularly).

We do have a few raw recipes in our Files - and

of course there are lots of salads, although I

know that's not what you're looking for. I am

taking more interest in raw food myself, so I

shall be interested in following this line.

 

Enjoy the group. And thanks for the intro - good

to have you here!

 

Best, Pat (Group Owner)

Well, when writing my introduction, I never expected it to be dissected

and analyzed line for line. I consider meat byproducts to be dairies

and eggs and such that is expelled from the living animal and does not

require the death of the animal to acquire it. As for the rest of the

analysis, I am sure that if any of the fore running presidential

hopefuls ever become vegetarians, they would dread being audited by

you. I hope your critique of your recipes is as thorough as that which

you give those who are just dropping a line to say hello. And nice to

meet you too.

Hello again,

 

I'm sorry that my interleaving my message with

yours was taken amiss - it is an email style

often

used and does save time and confusion. I shall

try to remember that you dislike that convention.

 

About the 'bone of contention' as it were: I

understand

'animal byproducts' to mean things boiled down

from or otherwise extracted from what is left of

the living creature

after the slaughterhouse experience. Other

definitions may

be more inclusive, however. I was simply trying

to understand

what you were saying *sigh* We all have our

linguistic idiosyncracies, I guess, and people

here are always discovering mine in interesting

ways

 

I don't know what to make of your bewildering

reference

to me and American politics - I'm not American

and I live

in Canada. I won't comment on the rest of your

message.

 

This is a friendly group and we do try to keep it

that way.
