RE: Digest Number 156

[Guest guest]

In response to your " bit of a stretch and eating fish. " and what it is

called. I did not make up the name. I just use it. I hope this clears up

the confusion about what is out there. Please remember there are lots of

diets out there, fruitarians, macrobiotic,allergy etc.... When I order food

at restaurants I clarify what things are cooked in. (e.g. soups saying

vegetarian often have chicken or beef broth, I also clarify when I don't

want fish or dairy or other by products. It is frustrating to go to a

restaurant and order an item and get something other than what you ordered.

Happened to me last week with chicken when I ordered a salad. Had to send

it back and chose to order something different so they wouldn't just take

the meat off and bring it back. )

 

 

The Institute of Food Technologists, in the July 1991

issue of its journal, Food Technology, describes six types of

vegetarians. They are listed here by degree of exclusion of

animal foods and by the foods included in the diet:

 

* semi-vegetarian--dairy foods, eggs, chicken, and fish, but

no other animal flesh

 

* pesco-vegetarian--dairy foods, eggs, and fish, but no

other animal flesh

 

* lacto-ovo-vegetarian--dairy foods and eggs, but no animal

flesh

 

* lacto-vegetarian--dairy foods, but no animal flesh or eggs

 

* ovo-vegetarian--eggs, but no dairy foods or animal flesh

 

* vegan--no animal foods of any type.

I believe that you are using the wrong source for your definitions. Anyone

can make up a name. The idea and definition of a vegetarian has been around

for a long time and we don't need The Institute of Food Technologists to make

up clever names for people who eat a " mostly vegetable " based diet. I

suppose my father could be called a pesco-chicken-beef-pig-anything that

moves-vegetarian. But that would be silly wouldn't it.

Wow, I feel famous. And it's okay. I answer as

well to Reggie as to Gina. If I didn't, I wouldn'ta

put it up as my handle.

Well, see, I have a decent sense of direction, am

fairly bad with names, and I can cook, but I don't

really like it. Probably enjoying cooking is the

better skill to have.

I really wanted a PICTURE of that thing.

 

Oh! Randomness: Tonight on The Daily Show, they

had a report on this new food product-tofu textured

and flavored like human flesh. Now, my first question

is, how would THEY know what human flesh tastes like?

But then I can't figure out who would BUY such a

thing. But I thought since this list probably has a

greater concentration of tofu enthusiasts than most

lists I belong to (the majority are videogame lists

and the rest are for fans of a variety of actors), I

thought I'd check it out. Anyone interested? Maybe

those of you with the reluctant boy children (I'm just

thinking this is probably the only way you could, say,

get Calvin of " Calvin & Hobbes " to eat tofu)?

I's just wonderin', is all.

 

Peace, Reggie
