I agree on tofu. It never comes out when I try to make it like the chinese restaurants do with this nice firm skin all around- it retains that chilly slimy texture right up to the point where it burns! Therefore, I either only have it while I'm out and I know the chefs know how to cook it, or use it in place of part of the ricotta cheese in my lasagna | |

Try it and if you don't get the results that seem familar it'd be a great question for the crowd here over at the food forums. Click on Recipes and Cooking from the list of forums and post a thread about it -- someone will know. | |

But specifically I know there is a phrase in the bible, and please don't ask me to find it, that says man shall live to be 120 years old.
Yet todays new generation is predicted to live shorter lives than ours..... | |

How many vegetarian use rain barrels to water their lucious green lawns ??
When you live in Wales, the idea that you would need to water your lawn ever is pretty laughable. It rains plenty. The grass is green all year round, naturally. Failing to take one of the many possible positive steps that you can take to a more sustainable lifestyle does not mean that the steps you are taking are worth any less. I am just glad that awareness is growing and it is becoming easier to make positive choices. It's not that long ago that anyone who expressed concern about the environment or chose not to eat meat would have been regarded as a freak/nutcase. Now almost every place serving food has a veggie option and there's a growing awareness too of "free range" "organic" "local" and "fairly traded" food. | |

I have been one for 34 years and I am far from being sickly (unlike my meat eater friends). What I do is listen to my body, eat what I carve, stay active and enjoy my life. | |

Who is saying that?
Turns out that phrase was easier to find than I thought:
So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.” Gen 6:3 | |

There are tons of grains you can eat, not just soy, beans and wheat. Buckwheat, Quinoa, rice, etc. You can go on a raw vegan food diet. Eating some cooked food is ok. Twenty of twenty five percent of the diet can be raw. Vegetables, nuts, seeds and fruits can be eaten raw. In Chinese medicine meat is looked as low vibration food, also in meditation system they look at meat as once of the foods to avoid in time. Worst foods you can eat is meat, sugars and bad fats. If you're worried about not getting enough nutrients Chlorella and Spirulina will provide all the nutrients you will need including all the amino acids and protein. Both of these algae is at least 60% protein which is much better than eating meat. | |

Beef, veal, and pork are packed with high-quality protein.
They are also a nutrient-dense source of iron and zinc.
Eating lean meat also gives you vitamin B12, niacin, and vitamin B6.
Red Meat = Iron
Heme iron, a highly usable form found only in animal products.
Eating meat also enhances the absorption of nonheme iron from plant foods.
The zinc in meat is absorbed better than the zinc in grains and legumes, as well.
Lean beef, veal, and pork IS effective in lowering bad LDL cholesterol.
The marbled fat in lean beef is monounsaturated,
the kind that helps lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Don't let the pendulum swing completely to the other side.
It's a foolish, knee jerk reaction, that truly has to be moderated and torn apart a bit.
Moderation and portion size is a huge component many foget to mention.
Something else to think about :
The placement of a mammal’s eyes can often indicate if it is a predator or a prey animal.
Predators have eyes that face forward.
The field of vision for each eye overlaps in the front to create binocular vision.
Binocular vision gives the predator better depth perception
and helps them catch prey moving at high speeds.
It doesn't take a big brain and powerful eyes to catch grain and vegetables.
Perhaps we will begin to loose brain function if we go down the vegetarian path ?? | |
