Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 hello, i am posting 2 let everyone that i am back i would go back 2 my diet if i had a high-paying job cause i was out of work otherwise i am unemployed and looking 4 a job and i am still looking 4 a job and i explain that and that y i said that and i buy fresh vegetables and frutis not canned vegetables and fruits and that it's expensive especially when i don't have a job. i also explain y i don't eat red meat, pork, and so on, i don't eat pork cause i was told by a doctor at the 23 years old, just goes 2 show u that u don't have 2 be old 4 pork 2 do u in, he also told me not 2 eat 2 much red meat cause as an African-American black man it cause colon and prostate cancers, so i change my diet and it's against my religion 2 eat pork, scaleless fish,etc. i am a Rastafarian and i know some that don't eat meat at all and some that do, any Rasta will tell u that they will not eat pork or any forbidden animals that Jah says not eat. i ate at a vegetarian house on several occasions and the food was very good and didn't ask 4 meat. i did some research and alot of people don't know that some beans r considered as meat as well as some nuts if u think that i am lying read any health book or go any doctor and yes vegetarian diet is very healthy like any diet it has its downfall, vegans since they don't eat or drink dairy products their diet lacks vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium but with research they can find supplements 2 take place of dairy products. u see that i research the diet and i was a vegan while i was in prison and i lost weight but i gain weight after i broke my body down and bulid it back up 2 eating health.my skin was clear and still is, i have a lot of energy, and i am not fat or overweight, my hair is growing( i have dreadlocks) from eating health even before i went back 2 eat chicken, fish , and turkey. well i want 2 thank patch and the ones who e-mail me personally and may Jah bless u all.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Welcome back to the group, Micca. When I read the food pyramid chart, I concluded something much different than you did. While beans and nuts are certainly included on the chart with meat, they are all simply good sources of protein. To me that's not the same as actually being meat. Dave micca robinson <madlion9 [madlion9] ....alot of people don't know that some beans r considered as meat as well as some nuts if u think that i am lying read any health book or go any doctor...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 thanks daveo i am glad 2 be here and i appreciate the positive energy in here . i read about a chef duped vegetarians into eating chicken and now that's very disrespectful, i know if a person is a vegetarian and they come over my house and i was cooking food, i don't have a problem cooking some food 4 that person. i read the food pyramid chart it's true but also that what u have 2 eat in place of meat, like when i was in prison on a vegan diet i eat 2 servings of rice and beans in place of meat( the flesh of animal) 2 balance it and get the protein that i would have got from eating meat. when i got on the diet i loss weight 2 break my body down and then build it back up. some people don't believe that u can't get fat, that's a lie, i love eating rice( my great-grandfather is of Gullah culture a black people who love eating rice any kind of rice), potatoes( my great-grandma is Irish and Cheekoe native), peanut butter, brown bread etc. anyone knows that rice and potatoes r starch and put weight on u. believe it or not i met fat vegetarians and i ask them how they got so big on a vegetarian diet, they told me rice, potatoes, peanut butter, beans every kind of them and didn't exercise, i know that they weren't lying cause i used 2 eat oatmeal, cereal, and peanut butter everyday and thinking that i wouldn't gain weight and did the same thing with grits and in prison that's a vegan diet. i have some friends that respect me when i was a vegetarian and i respect them as meat-eaters, i cook meat 4 them and they cook a vegetarian meal 4 me. i know that alot of people who want 2 be vegetarians but they think that they will stave 2 death if they eat only vegetables and fruits, some just don't know how 2 go about it. i know that i drink some V8 tomato juice everyday when i start mine and don't know y something told me 2 drink it but it helped. so thank u daveo and the vegetarians in here that didn't disrespect me or pre-judge me.
