Have you ever tried Amy's vegetarian and
organic food in the frozen section?  Her cheese enchiladas are delicious.  Her tamale dinner with rice is good too.  There are no GMO's either.  Van's organic/veg waffles in the frozen section are delicious too and they are wheat-gluten free.  Oprah went on a wheat-gluten/vegan diet and she lost a ton of weight.  She said she never feel so "alive."
I've been a vegetarian since I was 17 . . .
My three children are vegetarians and my three grandchildren are vegetarians - none of them ever had meat.
do they have vegetarian options
As I am vegetarian, would like to check into it further, but if they do not take this into account, do not want to waste the time. Thanks
While I am not a vegetarian, it is the natural
process for "creatures"
to eat each other. I hate when one of my cats kills another "creature" but that is their nature.
i was a vegetarian for 5 years
and if it is done right, it is a healthy lifestyle. HOWEVER, to think there is something wrong with meat-eating, is to question the way God made this world and the things in it. Course, maybe you don't believe in God, in which case, what you eat is the least of your problems.
As I said already, I am a vegetarian, but not a vegan.
Vegans do not eat ANY foods originating from animals.

I eat eggs, drink milk and eat fish.

That's it.

I am very healthy and slim.


vegetarian. Daffy or Donald?

I have a vegetarian pepper quesadilla recipe

That's SUPER delicious. Here it goes:


green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper  1 each


1 medium white onion


1 tsp. cumin to taste


1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil


1/2 tsp. salt & pepper each or to taste


1/2 tsp. lime juice (optional)


1 bag of fiesta blend of cheese or mexican blend.


6-8 medium tortillas


Cut all bell peppers and onion into strips and saute all items over medium heat in a skillet. Add cumin, salt & pepper. 


 Spoon sauted veggies into tortillas - on one-half of tortilla only. Add cheese on top of veggies. Close tortilla and heat in a clean preheated skillet over medium-hot heat. When lightly browned, turn over. They should look slightly crispy and light brown. Cut into thirds.

I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!

Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.

There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.

Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.
