Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 I guess we (especially I, because I tend to get a bit irritable sometimes about it...) just have to remember that we are helping to educate the world one person at a time! I promise that my body has not had a problem creating new flesh and needing protein to do it since I became a vegetarian since I have done nothing but GAIN weight since!! (I'm also living proof of the THIN vegetarian myth.) I like to point out that some of the largest animals on the planet are vegetarians: cows included and that it's not true that you will lose weight! , Alison Parker <ana_spryte> wrote: > Oh, that's so funny that you say that - I was just asked this the other night by a friend! > Sheryl <ssarndt> wrote:Kind of like the " where you do > get your protein?

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 In the category of things vegetarians hear all the time: Tonight, I went out to dinner with my husband to Old Chicago. I had a spinich and artichoke calzone with no cheese. It was awesome. But anyway, for the appetizer, my husband ordered a sampler platter with chicken wings, a good variety of fresh veggies (which I ordered on a separate plate so the veggies wouldn't get nasty chicken juice all over them, mozz sticks and spinich artichoke dip with garlic bread. Now, I'm not a Vegan, but I try to be pretty conscientious about no animal products in my food or in my household cleansers or cosmetics. I probably would be a Vegan, but I just haven't gotten to the point where I'm willing to ask what's in the bread or pasta when I go out to dinner (after years in the restaurant industry, I harbor a healthy fear of spittle in my food <BG>). But, as a general rule, I don't eat obvious dairy products when I'm eating out. Anyway, hubby points to the articoke dip (served warm and made with parm and cream cheese and probably butter; can you say vat o' fat?) and says, " Mmmm, that's good; try some. " I politely decline, and he says, " Oh, go ahead, I won't tell. " Yeah, right, baby, the veggie police are out to get me (rolls eyes). LOL. And the waiter did ask twice, " Are you sure you don't want cheese on that calzone? " To top my day off, I got a Veggie burrito at El Pollo Rey, which I brought home, and as I'm eating it, I dig out a big chunk of CHICKEN! Since when is dead bird a vegetable? Blech! I'm eating in tomorrow! SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Hey Lori. I wonder if those mozz sticks were fried in the same oil as the chicken wings. That waiter asking twice if you were sure about the cheese is funny...it sounds like it is more about what he wants and not what you want lol. " Yes no cheese please, are you " sure " you want a tip? " Of course you might get a special off-menu ingredient with that type of response. Sorry about your burrito mis-hap. I went to chileeeez once and asked for nachos without the chicken...ahhhh, lil chunkers here and there. Now I just stay away from the generic places....err most of the time, gotta appease others at times. " Yeah, right, baby, the veggie police are out to get me (rolls eyes). LOL. " LOL, funny stuff.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 that's probably why that place is called el pollo loco...they go crazy with the chicken and put it in everything. susie --- Dave <2davidm wrote: > wow that reminds me of when I was in the hospital > you could order el > pollo loco bean n cheese burritos. when I opened > mine up to put in > the salsa it was chicken corpse city.
