Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hey, Cory, There are numerous vegan cookbooks out there, not to mention many sites with veg*an recipes. Is there a Whole Foods/Wild Oats/natural foods store in your town? If so, you can get tofu, tempeh, seitan, and other non-meat protein sources. You can also order seitan quick mix online, as it's just high-gluten flour that you mix with water. Almost every grocery store sells beans without nasty additives that you can serve with rice and/or veggies or make into tacos or burritos. Don't go overboard on the meat substitutes, as they can get expensive. Consider them an occasional treat. And any reduction in animal products is a step in the right direction.

I live in a " high meat " world in Sacramento, CA and I want to lower my consumption of meat in a " tasteful " fashion. Care to respond?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well, there was blood in his urine (I tested his urine) which is usually due to strenuous exercise so I guess he injured his urinary system. Don't know for sure though. Cory Briggs <briggsorelse wrote:Does he get strains or injuries much?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Thanks for the honesty! I do combat fitness and one stereotype of the vegetarian that I come across is that they are skinny and weak. Keep in mind that this is not insult anyone-I just want to know the whole story. I am going to assume that the person bled because he over did it, not because he was a vegetarian. Is that fair you think?
