Welcome to new member Max

[Guest guest]

Hi Max and welcome to the group. Thank you for introducing yourself, I'm taking

the opportunity to forward your mail to the group. As you can imagine our

members are very diverse in their attitudes to veg*ism, from the " very strict "

to the " just interested " and the topics you mention e.g. vegan substitutes, how

to deal with situations where you can't be sure of the contents, toning down

spicy recipes and so on, often come up in our discussions. We do tend to avoid

discussion of religion though!

 

Hoping you will enjoy the group and find something to your taste in our recipe

archive (see under Files).

 

Best, Piers (co-owner with Pat)

 

Max's answers:

 

Greetings - I go by the name of Max, and I am basically vegan. I am not so

strict that I don't bend the rules a bit to eat a muffin that may have been

cooked with milk, butter, or egg, etc., but I do not choose them in my own home

when I prepare foods. My spouse is vegetarian, heading toward vegan, has

stopped eating stand alone eggs, and will now only eat them if they are cooked

into a desert, etc., as I am doing occasionally. At home we use egg replacer,

rice milk, some soy based french vanilla creamer, and a " no transfat " butter

substitute for everything we prepare. We have chosen this path for health

purposes, as well as spiritual considerations. We also take a sublingual B12

vitamin, among a few others. We like spicy foods, though lately they don't seem

to be liking me as much as I like them! We are Christians, though we have been

known to think " outside the box " a bit, and are getting quite a grasp on how

other belief systems fit into the

picture. We LOVE to discuss Biblical criteria, and other religious beliefs.

 

I appreciate the opportunity to correspond with your group, and believe I will

enjoy it immensely! Thanks again, Max
