Army

[Guest guest]

Shalom,

 

I am very surprised to read that Zahal does not provide for vegetarians. Our

second son Itai is a soldier at this very moment. He has become a meat-eater

outside of the house. However, I know from my own past voluntary work in the

army, from my husband's time in the army and from asking Itai right now, that

there is always enough food for vegetarian soldiers. Also, our daughter who

finished her army service some time ago, could get enough vegetarian food.

 

First of all, of course, the vegetables and fruit. But as Itai said, there is

usually something made by Tivall. There are plenty of eggs. Actually, my husband

can hardly stand eggs, because when he was in the army (many years ago), he ate

so many eggs that now he never wants a boiled or fried egg.

 

So I wonder where your son is serving and why there are no provisions for him.

I am sure that if he talks to his commander and the cook, things will be okay

for him.

 

Our oldest son started smoking in the army (he was in a special unit with a lot

of stress apparently), and that I regretted. Luckily, he now hardly ever smokes

(neither do my husband, I myself and the other two).

 

Wishing you all the very best ~ Dorith

Miso, edamame and other japanese style protein products come freeze dried and in

packets. They would be like k-rations and he would have to rehydrate them in

the field or his barracks, but it might be worth looking in to. I am not sure

if you would find them with kosher certification though.

My vegetarian daughter (who is a combat soldier not an office worker)

hasn't had a problem. " Shnitzel Tivol " is boring but no worse than what

the meat-eaters get. Usually there are also hard-boiled eggs for

breakfast. Just to make sure I give her dry roasted soybeans and

organic dried apricots (high iron content) as a supplement.
