QOTW for June 1st - 7th:

 

1. What is your favorite thing about being a vegetarian?

& nbsp;

This sounds counter-intuitive to so many omnivores, but the wide variety of food

I have discovered. & nbsp; I have sampled from many different cuisines. & nbsp; I am

familiar with a lot of spices, vegetables, fruits, and cheeses that my

meat-eating relatives never even heard of. & nbsp; I think vegetarian food tastes

" brighter, " too, for lack of a better word.

 

2. What is the oddest comment you have gotten from

a person when they discover you are a vegetarian?

 

" What do you *eat*? " & nbsp; See above! & nbsp; Lots of yummy veggies, beans,

fruits, breads, etc.! & nbsp; Plus I wear a size 16! & nbsp; I so clearly am *not*

starving!

 

3. What is the nicest comment you have heard about

vegetarianism?

& nbsp;

I seem to be continuing on a theme here, but my omnivore brother said,

admiringly, that it has made me a much more creative cook than our mother.

 

Blessed be,

Jayelle

Well let's see...I can't think of a single thing I DON'T like about being veg.

Some things I like are that I feel better physically and mentally, getting

opportunities to spread the word about the benfits of vegetarianism and

veganism, extending my life span, helping to put a small dent in global warming

and world hunger(although it may not seem like a lot, every little bit counts

and each vegetarian DOES make a difference whether they may realize it or not),

making a difference in lives of the animals I save by not eating them, and the

whole, new, awesome world of VEG FOOD that I'm always discovering!

 

As far as odd comments, I haven't really gotten any yet, but I won't be

suprised if one day I do. Generally though my peers have been fairly good and

supportive of my decision though, fortunately.

 

I've heard a couple of nice things about my being veg. I once walked into a

convenience store to look for something to snack on, as I was on the road and

happened to mention out loud that I was looking to see if they had anything

healthy, as I had recently gone veg and the people running the store said I was

smart for doing it.

Another one I got was from one of the people I work with. She commented one

day that she was proud of me for sticking with my vegetarianism.

Hi All,

My favorite thing about being a vegetarian is that

there's so many new, interesting vegetarian foods out

there for me to try--much more, I think, than when I

first started out over a decade ago.

The strangest thing reaction I've had to my being

a vegetarian was that I was starving myself and just

needed a little meat to keep me strong and healthy!

The nicest thing that someone said about me being

a vegetarian? I never really thought about it. I

just decided that being a veggie was what I wanted to

do and didn't much worry about what anyone else

thought or didn't think about my choice.

Smiles,

April P.

1. & nbsp; The thing I love about being vegetarian is the large assortment of

fruits and vegetables that are available and all of the different ways to cook

them.

& nbsp;

2. & nbsp; The oddest comment I have gotten is didn't you used to eat meat, how

can you just give it up. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

3. & nbsp; The nicest comment is: & nbsp; That is why you are so much healthier

lately.

& nbsp;

The comment that I hear the most is where am I getting my protein from if I

don't eat meat or dairy.

Awe that old SO outdated protein myth that everyone has been buying into since

they were very small children--gotta love it!

When I first answered this poll, I couldn't think of an odd comment right off,

but since I've heard one--try this one: " If I ate health food it would kill me. "

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new here---and enjoying y'all! & nbsp; I had to comment about the oddest

comment I got about being a vegetarian. & nbsp; I live in Atlanta, which is still

the Bible Belt South and worked with someone who was very religious. & nbsp; She

commented that animals were put on the Earth by God for people to eat! & nbsp; The

implication was that I was going against God's will! & nbsp;

Favorite thing (s) cheap, lots of variety, doesn't hurt my sick body

Oddest comment " So you only eat salads? "

Best comment comes from my husband twice a month when the grandson visits his

brother " Thank God the house won't smell like meat all weekend. "

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

Hi Ellen, I'm further down south in Albany. & nbsp; I'm jealous, you've got

vegetarian restaurants up there! The only thing we have down here that is

remotely vegetarian is a take out salad. I can't remember the name of one I used

to go to with friends, or even what part of Hotlanta but they had the best

veggie lasagna and the serving was enough to feed both my husband and me. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

If I remember the name, I'll zip it to you and do nanny nanny boo boo in the

direction of Atlanta. & nbsp; Boooo hoooooo, I love Hotlanta.

LOL! That is a funny comment. I have to say

I have heard that one before, too.

Oh well, what can we say to that sort of crazy ignorant

comment? Not much, I guess. Better to just walk away

shaking your head and laughing. *lol*

 

Welcome to the group, Ellen. I look forward to reading

your posts.

I'm going your way, so let us go hand in hand.

You help me and I'll help you.  We shall not be

here very long, for soon death, the kind old nurse,

will come back and rock us all to sleep.  Let us

help one another while we may.
