Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 She sounds ignorant, the kinda people that think veganism is cool, a trend. I know a lot of people who did veganism or were vegetarians, for a semester at college just to be cool. Just so they could say, done that! what she failed to mentioning is that real vegans, don't not eat animal products for diet, they are vegan for compassionate reasons. diet comes later. She doesn't sound very (mentally) healthy, being that she threw up a pizza, cause she forgot it wasn't vegan. I don't see why this newspaper, did not ask a REAL vegan, one who has been one for years, to write about it. but then, again, maybe that wouldn't be as interesting. As for Tofu, she just fulfilled every steryotype that meat eaters have about us. That if you cut out meat, there will be nothing left to eat but bland Tofu. personally, I can't remember the last time I ate tofu. my diet is so varied. As for expensive, She is a consumerist, no matter what her diet. She buys convienient, processed, packaged foods. instead of trying to eat their WHOLE versions, If you make Juices, sandwiches, beans, at home instead of buying them, they will always be less expensive. by the way, she left her email, we could write to her and try to educate her. If she if studying psychology I would hate to be her patient. VEGAN POWER!!!!! -anouk - peter hurd 9/15/2005 3:17:37 PM Re: My week as a vegan........

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well, I never can resist answering things like this, so here's my reply under their "post a comment" section. Lynda O.K., I'd like to know just how in the heck someone gets to be a senior and never learns how to do their homework? I'm not a vegan. Not even a vegetarian but I certainly could have figured out some really tasty meals that would have made ANYONE full, satisfied and not left them craving curdled milk or dead cows. Veggie lasagna is yummy and doesn't take an Einstein to make it. Veggie burritos. Soy wraps with sauted mushrooms and eggplant. Pesto (no cheese) and vermicelli. Sweet and sour noodle soup (no egg, lots of tofu and mushrooms). Roasted red bell pepper sauce over angel hair pasta. Julienned veggies stir-fried with peanut sauce over rice. Good ol' p.b. & j on sour dough bread. A big salad loaded with veggies and a yummy mustard, spices, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar and EVOO dressing. Deep fried veggie sticks and onion "roses" with veganaise dill sauce for dipping. Tortilla chips with salsa. Fried potatoes O'Brien. Chili (no meat, lots of spices). Homemade pizza brushed with EVOO, sprinkled with garlic and Italian spices, and layered with veggies (onions, tomatoes, mushrooms) and sprinkled with olives. For dessert a baked apple stuffed with walnuts, raisens and brown sugar (organic, of course). Or our family's fav, an apple upside down cake (made with no eggs or butter, just applesauce, flour and spices poured over sliced apples, brown sugar, raisens and chopped walnuts). Well, you get the idea. One is only limited in one's diet by the limits of one's imagination. Oh, while speaking of homework, which would seem appropriate on a college network, Katrina needs to do even more homework. Most bread is not vegan, nor are most things made by the Boca folks. - peter hurd Thursday, September 15, 2005 11:17 AM Re: My week as a vegan........

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Big business, my dear. It is all about selling all those quantities and quantities of dehydrated eggs and milk. I prefer *real* sour dough bread myself which has neither in it and holds together like homemade bread instead of a bunch of half cooked dough. I just HATE store bought bread!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 That was my problem too. I was consistently asked to do readings, help the teachers, etc. I always recieved good grades and scored high on the tests. It just never moved fast enough for me. So I would stop paying attention after awhile. I wasn't an honors student in grammer school, but if I applied myself I could have been. When I tested for high school after receiving mostly B's and some C's in grammer school, I was put into 3 honors classes. Go figure. My knowledge and learning skills were there, I just couldn't take the slow pace of school. I am a much better self-taught student. My son has the same problem it seems.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 We " un " school and son #3 decided that Pop Warner, Little League and Hoopsters weren't competitive enough. So off he goes to the local high school. Poor school, they simply weren't prepared <<eg>> He refused to do " busy work " and aced all the tests. They said they were going to flunk him if he didn't do homework everynight. He took them all the way to the school board who said they didn't know what the problem was if he was getting As on all the tests. After the football and basketball seasons of one year he decided he'd go play for the local CC and forget the b.s. at a public school. Had the coaches calling for months because he was MVP at all the regional finals. Oh well, their loss!

I originally HS'd but as DH is the stay-at-home parent and he cannot do it, I can only Afterschool. I do however run an IL HS support group with a lot of programs.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Not really, some people just aren't cut out to be parents, much less spend the day trying to teach them. For some it is a patience thing. Others structure. Others do not care enough. Some have no schooling themselves. etc etc There's a lot of reasons a parent cannot or even shouldn't homeschool. But I understand what you are saying. A school structure of learning is not needed to HS. What amazes me is the vast amount of different types of HS'ing. It's a lot of fun to learn how others do it.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 There were no public schools in the U.S. until 1850. There was no mandatory attendance.

AND, the literacy rate was higher than it is now! Literacy rates are intriguing.... In the UK, prior to the middle of the 20th century, the period with the highest literacy rate was the 1580s, at which time it is reckoned that about 80% of men and 40% of women had basic reading and writing skills!
