Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hi, my name is Elicia and I'm new to this list. I'm looking for new vegan recipes and thought that this list might be able to help out. Could someone help out? Is this a political list for vegans? re: > One of SEVERAL reasons we need to vote in this election...... > > My G.W. Bush quote of the day: > > > " I sure am glad I had my bacon for breakfast.

Does anyone know >if this is true or not? > Yes, this is true for the most part. I am not sure if all companies that produce white, refined sugar use the bone char method, but I know many do. Domino is one that definitely does. Also, I'm not sure that the bone char is used for the whitening process, I just thought it was a filtration process (for what, I'm not sure!). Anyone know about that? If you are looking for granulated sweetener from sugar cane, a better option that does not use bone char, and is less refined in general, is evaporated cane juice or organic sugar, found in the health food store. Even better than that would be Sucanat or Rapadura (even less refined types of granulated sugar). These are all brownish in color, but work the same and taste better than refined white sugar. Keep in mind, there are plenty of other kinds of sweeteners out there that are much less refined, and some much healthier ones as well! hth!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 ditto here. in fact, my wife followed me into taking on a meatless diet. it didn't hurt that i do nearly all of the shopping and cooking in our house. but after a couple of years of eating one way at home and another away, my wife " gave in. " by the time our child was born several years later, there was no doubt in our minds we'd raise him vegetarian. we assumed that if we raised him to consider animals as friends, rather than food, he'd naturally adapt to eating vegetarian. to our surprise--few other things about parenting fell so easily in line with our assumptions--that's been the case to a " t. " zach's just turned four, and the hardest thing about his diet are teaching him sensitivity to others' choice to eat meat and how to politely turn down meat when it's offered to him, rather than giving his gut-reaction response, which he freely shares with us-- " ewwwww, gross! " and that's with 0% coaching, outside of explaining to him that we " don't eat our friends. " anyone else had such an easy experience? scott ps--we only hope it's so easy with his future sibling, due in june! - <Raysauto Friday, March 02, 2001 7:26 AM Re: Digest Number 127 > In a message dated 3/2/2001 8:50:28 AM Central Standard Time, > writes: > > << Just for the record, I'm grateful that my wife is a > vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Scott, Yes, it was that easy with our kids, too. I think if they never see meat eaten in the home it seems kind of weird to them, and I would expect that most kids follow familial patterns--until they hit puberty, that is! My 8-yr-old is staunchly vegetarian (from birth), but I recently found that he is willing to " cheat " on items that don't look like meat. He'll share in a friend's fruit snacks at school knowing that the brand in question contains gelitan, for example. Those are the areas where we have most trouble. (Gummi worms are causing a lot of friction at our house right now--do you know who sells vegan ones?!?!). But I also wonder if he is now at an age when he has the right to be making his own ethical choices, with guidance, of course. Do I have any business coming down on an 8-yr-old who considers himself a vegetarian but sometimes makes non-veg choices? I'm not sure. My 4-yr-old has been exposed to more food outside our home than our son was at the same age. She has sighed and expressed a desire to taste what is on friends' plates from time to time. So far, she hasn't eaten meat, but I'll bet someday she will. In anycase, what both kids will retain is the consciousness that vegetarianism is possible and a certain guilt about eating animals, if they ever stray that far from our path. I guess what I'm getting at is, yes, it is that easy at age 4 , but it may get more complicated as the years pass and the child is away from home on his/her own more and having to make choices in the face of pressure from peers/advertisers! I am starting to learn this right now! susanP. ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

I've seen vegetarian gummy snacks in the bulk section at my local Fresh Fields/Whole Foods grocery store. I don't like that gummy texture and wasn't going to buy them in any case so I didn't bother looking that closely at the ingredients, but they may be vegan as well. ---- Patricia Bullington-McGuire <patricia The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the purely hypothetical.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 My husband will only use white sugar in his coffee so we keep white sugar in the house. Somewhere on one of the vegan sites I found that Jack Frost does not use the bone chars in their process.
