Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I agree, my grocery bill is 3/4th of what it was when I wasn't a vegetarian. Health is perfect now and I have so much food I have to share with friends most of the time. I also share recipes from the files and many of them are slowing starting to see we vegetarians have a huge variety and you won't miss meat. It's all about knowledge and willing to want to make a change, has nothing to do with race, creed, color, religion and on and on and on. ~G~ , " darkcydesky " <darkcydesky wrote: > > > ReallY?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 More like culture. For instance, my mom is Irish. This means meat and starch and not many spices. When I stopped eating meat she was convinced I was going to starve. However, I have a much wider pallet than she does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I wouldn't call it ignorant. Maybe in some, but not all. I can agree with it to a certain degree. What I feel it is, is coming out of the box. In Robin Quivers book she mentioned going back to her old neighborhood, which was still predominately African American, and older as the kids had grown and gone, leaving behind a community with a high number of older citizens. The younger citizens being raised with the " old food ways " She was appalled by what she saw in the markets. Many of these people had no means to venture out of the area to stores with a better selection, and no charity aid for such either. She described the supermarkets as having very little if any lean meats, it was mostly pork products such as pigs feet, and even the chicken was fatty. There were no selections such as trimmed chicken breast pieces, just fat and fat and fat. She described the vegetable departments as small, with little variety. She thought to herself, " no wonder why the people there had the health problems that they did " This was in an about 1995 or so, give or take a couple of years in New York. I could scan the book and post it if anyone wants to read it. Anyway, while I can see it for some, and it is valid, for others it IS exactly just an excuse, so you see, in my opinion when it comes down to a racial issue it's not just black and white, there is a lot of gray area.

What an incredibly ignorant statement. Denise On 2/4/06, chilifrenchfries <chilifrenchfries wrote: > > I agree, my grocery bill is 3/4th of what it was when I wasn't a > vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 It's how you have been raised too. Hubby keeps hotdogs on hand because they are easy to throw into a pot and have with whatever I have made for dinner. Does he like hotdogs all that much? .... NO ..... but for some reason the meal is not complete to him unless he is gnawing on some animal flesh, it drives me bananas, but it's just years and years, a lifetime of programming.
