Emerita Sciandra: i think it is pritty cool you stay healthy and live long
Ira Porietis: i think its awesome to be vegetarian,i want to be one too because i love animals and i hate when people kill or hurt them,but yet i grew up eating meat,so im trying to stop
Stephnie Patout: The cows out back in the pasture behind my property - are NOT from meat or dairy market - just the man that lives on the back side of my property that has about 30 cows.I will admit - I DID CLIMB the fence a few weeks - and got some of their - - err - - cow patties - - to put on my rose garden..... (maybe THAT is how I got this nasty case of poison ivy)......As for the vegetables and such - I have found a great source to buy what I need to help to grow healthy veggies that doesn't mean that I am eating food grown in 'poo'...I believe everyone has the right to make the choice that fits their own belief - vegetarian, vegan, or whatever - everyone has the right to live and make personal c! hoices - it's called freedom of choice.I didn't sign a bunch of 'tenets' of any cause because of what and how I eat or live or the choices I make - I just live them and don't bind them on anyone else....Show more
Teodoro Lamond: its fun finding new things to eat in place of meat[ i didnt become vegetarian for animals, i did it for my taste buds :P meat tastes gross to me. . . ]
Shaun Rapkowicz: Fruits and vegetables have not many calories, and they're easy to burn off w/ light exercise. And some vegetables like avocados are high in healthy fats.
Alise Rutgers: smart idea
Tyrone Disanti: ROFLMAO!!!!! Love it!!!! Just freaking love it!
Francis Stickle: I love it. Have been for years. I mostly just quit because I really couldnt stand meat as a child so it was more for myself than the animals. I get completely grossed out by raw meat, and I just decided to give it up...I think you try more foods when your veggie.... I know id never have tried tofu ! or fake burgers..... I love them both now. And you learn so ma! ny great ways to use vegitables.
Salvatore Walls: I think you should do what your heart says.I love animals and I have done some crazy things to save a stray puppy or kitten from being run over by heavy traffic. Having said that I love eating healthy meat. Like chicken and fish. Sometimes red meat. I did turn a vegetarian for 6 years. Now I am back to eating everything. I don't want to argue but if killing anything living is inhuman, then plants are also living. I guess there is no end to this discussion. It is a personal choice. Eating healthy and keeping fit is important, if one can do so by staying a vegetarian then good for them, if one does that by being a vegan, then gud for them and if one does that by including meat as well in the diet, then good for them....Show more
Jules Ashbach: I think it's my life...
Scot Sepulbeda: I like it.I mean, Ive never had meat so I never developed a taste for it so I don't like the smell and stuff. But yeah I like! loft as a vegetarian. I don't have a big appetite anyway, I'm really picky.
Adam Momaya: I think that unless you have a health problem that requires you to eat veggie, it's just stupid. It isn't natural. I eat 2 meat sort of meals a week, and it works really well. And it isn't killing innocent animals for your food, either-- they were raised to be eaten. Your dinner plate was their destiny when they were born.
Filiberto Ranalli: It rocks! Knowing that you aren't killing innocent animals for your own food.
Byron Fortmann: I am actually a vegan and I love it! I was a vegetarian for a number of years but I went all the way last January. I cannot imagine eating meat again. No way in the WORLD would I do that. I actually eat a bigger variety of food now than I did as an omni.
Margart Stimpert: It's kinda fun to say "i'm a vegetarian" and watch everyone in the room turn their faces up and ask silly questions. And then to make them squirm when i explain, ! in detail, what happens to that hamburger they are stuffing their face ! with. Most people don't realize that vegetarian food is just as good, no, better than normal food. And much, much healthier. I love being a vegetarian.
Berry Gilmore: velveta is a chease spread so if you have a vegan cheas dip you like then that can be used
Ulrike Hert: I ask this question because even though manure is organic, manure only exists in large quantities because of the existence of the beef and dairy industry. I would think that would kind run contrary to the tenets of your cause.
Catheryn Small: when it is freshTimeframe: 1-4 weeks (or more)Special Equipment:•Ceramic crock or food-grade plastic bucket, one-gallon capacity or greater•Plate that fits inside crock or bucket•One-gallon jug filled with water (or a scrubbed and boiled rock)•Cloth cover (like a pillowcase or towel)Ingredients (for 1 gallon):•5 pounds cabbage•3 tablespoons sea saltProcess:1.Chop or grate cabbage, finely or coarsely, with or without hearts, however you li! ke it. I love to mix green and red cabbage to end up with bright pink kraut. Place cabbage in a large bowl as you chop it.2.Sprinkle salt on the cabbage as you go. The salt pulls water out of the cabbage (through osmosis), and this creates the brine in which the cabbage can ferment and sour without rotting. The salt also has the effect of keeping the cabbage crunchy, by inhibiting organisms and enzymes that soften it. 3 tablespoons of salt is a rough guideline for 5 pounds of cabbage. I never measure the salt; I just shake some on after I chop up each cabbage. I use more salt in summer, less in winter.3.Add other vegetables. Grate carrots for a coleslaw-like kraut. Other vegetables I’ve added include onions, garlic, seaweed, greens, Brussels sprouts, small whole heads of cabbage, turnips, beets, and burdock roots. You can also add fruits (apples, whole or sliced, are classic), and herbs and spices (caraway seeds, dill seeds, celery seeds, and juniper berries are classic, ! but anything you like will work). Experiment.4.Mix ingredients together! and pack into crock. Pack just a bit into the crock at a time and tamp it down hard using your fists or any (other) sturdy kitchen implement. The tamping packs the kraut tight in the crock and helps force water out of the cabbage.5.5. Cover kraut with a plate or some other lid that fits snugly inside the crock. Place a clean weight (a glass jug filled with water) on the cover. This weight is to force water out of the cabbage and then keep the cabbage submerged under the brine. Cover the whole thing with a cloth to keep dust and flies out.6.Press down on the weight to add pressure to the cabbage and help force water out of it. Continue doing this periodically (as often as you think of it, every few hours), until the brine rises above the cover. This can take up to about 24 hours, as the salt draws water out of the cabbage slowly. Some cabbage, particularly if it is old, simply contains less water. If the brine does not rise above the plate level by the next day, add enough ! salt water to bring the brine level above the plate. Add about a teaspoon of salt to a cup of water and stir until it’s completely dissolved.7.Leave the crock to ferment. I generally store the crock in an unobtrusive corner of the kitchen where I won’t forget about it, but where it won’t be in anybody’s way. You could also store it in a cool basement if you want a slower fermentation that will preserve for longer.8.Check the kraut every day or two. The volume reduces as the fermentation proceeds. Sometimes mold appears on the surface. Many books refer to this mold as “scum,†but I prefer to think of it as a bloom. Skim what you can off of the surface; it will break up and you will probably not be able to remove all of it. Don’t worry about this. It’s just a surface phenomenon, a result of contact with the air. The kraut itself is under the anaerobic protection of the brine. Rinse off the plate and the weight. Taste the kraut. Generally it starts to be tangy ! after a few days, and the taste gets stronger as time passes. In the co! ol temperatures of a cellar in winter, kraut can keep improving for months and months. In the summer or in a heated room, its life cycle is more rapid. Eventually it becomes soft and the flavor turns less pleasant.9.Enjoy. I generally scoop out a bowl- or jarful at a time and keep it in the fridge. I start when the kraut is young and enjoy its evolving flavor over the course of a few weeks. Try the sauerkraut juice that will be left in the bowl after the kraut is eaten. Sauerkraut juice is a rare delicacy and unparalleled digestive tonic. Each time you scoop some kraut out of the crock, you have to repack it carefully. Make sure the kraut is packed tight in the crock, the surface is level, and the cover and weight are clean. Sometimes brine evaporates, so if the kraut is not submerged below brine just add salted water as necessary. Some people preserve kraut by canning and heat-processing it. This can be done; but so much of the power of sauerkraut is its aliveness that I w! onder: Why kill it?10.Develop a rhythm. I try to start a new batch before the previous batch runs out. I remove the remaining kraut from the crock, repack it with fresh salted cabbage, then pour the old kraut and its juices over the new kraut. This gives the new batch a boost with an active culture starter....Show more

Dick Maisenbacher: You can use green manure - which comes from plants. Certain plants enrich the soil (Clover as an example) while growing, then you till them under to decompose. But then that would mean growing some plants at the EXPENSE of other plants. I wouldn't think that would be acceptable either would it? ! Miracle grow adds sodium to the soil so you can't use that either. Cer! tainly can't use mushroom compost, b/c mushrooms had to die to make that. Fish fertilizer? Nope, fish had to die to make that. I can't think of anything else..Guess there are no ways to grow plants that require fertilizer then are they?...Show more
August Hubbard: some gum is vegetarian. some includes gelatin. Gelatin isn't vegetarian simply by fact it somewhat is made out of animal bones and cartiledge. Fish are animals, to that end fish isn't vegetarian simply by fact vegetarians do no longer consume animals. time-honored marshmallows are no longer vegetarian simply by fact they comprise gelatin (see above). candy & Sarah and Dandies are the two manufacturers of vegetarian marshmallows you will discover in places like total meals. Marshmallow fluff is likewise vegetarian (yet no longer vegan) and Smucker's marshmallow cream is vegan. some candies are vegetarian, some are no longer. Gummy candies generally comprise gelatin which lead them to no longer vegetarian.! some gummies, like bitter patch toddlers, swedish fish, and dots, are vegetarian. additionally some crimson candies are colored that way with Carmine, that's made up of overwhelmed beetles, making it no longer vegetarian.
Neville Dautremont: Velveeta does not contain gelatin. Here is a list of the ingredients in velveeta:VELVEETA - CHEESE - REGULARIngredients: MILK, WATER, MILKFAT, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ALGINATE, SODIUM CITRATE, APOCAROTENAL (COLOR), ANNATTO (COLOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE.Sorry for the caps lock, that's how it was printed on their website, and I copy/pasted it.
Aldo Decurtis: Is Velveeta Vegan
Giovanni Malool: as a life long vegan..................... who transferred to it after many, many years of vegetarianism....some are uneduated and claim to be vegetarians.. other's don't have a clue what they're talking about and label themselves as vegetarians...even more eat processed food! s (which have ingredients that contain animal element in it.) others! eat dairy... so on... and claim to be vegetarians..very few and far between are actually vegetarian...i find it annoying technically.. i love it when the newbs come to me and preach the gospel of vegetarianism...most times i put up with the commentary... i just get fed up by the "i've been a vegan for 34 plus years" 'shut up' i sometimes pull... (i get tired of announcing it to confirm to them that i do understand and that i'm a bit on the long term die hard side...) yes i'm a vegan, been one for a real long time.. yes i dig.. but i also can see through most who aren't taking it serious.i'm not sure how to feel.. these days... seems vegetarianism is just a fashionable thing for some.... and they do not take it seriously but push it hard and sometimes overdo it, such as those who will harass others about eating meat to the point that they alienate everyone.i watch and wonder...... i even hate most times to admit to my veganism because suddenly it starts up! alot of angry emotions in everyone... like i've done something wrong.so i just avoid it.. and never take invitations to those who are not even tempered to put up with having to service a vegan... it's not worth it much these days, even though i don't make a big deal and just tell them "don't worry about it... i'm fine"but they never listen, somehow that translates into 'trouble'.meh.i wish those who got into it would take it seriously, spend some logical time researching about it and really invest their heart and soul into understand it in it's entirity.then watching the battles online, like here in yahoo.. it's just a show of ignorance.......Show more
Russ Kiernan: It makes me feel happy and healthy!
Guy Bonamico: oh is it gelatin i thought it was a space aged polymer like plastic. :)
Willa Holte: i love being a veg :DDits the best decision ive ever made ahaha
Lulu Bukowiecki:
Carolynn Testani: Soft cheeses that melt easily-moz! zerella, provel, gruyere. Be sure to buy one made with vegetable vs. an! imal rennet.
Ronnie Sardi: When the veges are in season. Check the almanac for proper moon phases for best keeping.
Marcel Then: I don't think about it much because I buy local and organic...but do you want to know something really nasty?Corporate farming manure is almost unusable, it is full of antibiotics and pesticides, really bad, pollutes the water and the earth....BUT what is really really nasty?Many non-organic cash crop farms use human feces for their plants.....so I buy organic...People feces must be so toxic compared to animals, bleh, freaks me out.Sorry, I didn't answer your question, but I found this out a little while ago and was so shocked....Show more
Bob Pucella: It's a half measure that could potentially pave the way to a better way of life (vegan), but usually ends up stalling at vegetarianism for most people.Being vegetarian is not a whole lot different than being an omnivore. The reasons for not going all-out vegan usually come down t! o personal desires... the same basic reasons omnivores give for eating meat. In the end, you still contribute to the pain, suffering and death of the animals your food comes from. You just end up feeling less guilty since you aren't eating their actual flesh....Show more
Jene Kostyla: The best time to can anything is at the peak of its freshness. Since sauerkraut is pickled, you can go ahead and make some whenever you got some fresh cabbage lying around.
Jimmie Doerfler: I have thought about this my self too. Of course it would be ideal if we could avoid animal based fertilizer for food (blood & bone, fish etc.). But it is simply not viable to exclude veggies grown in animal based fertilizer. We would have to call every single producer to find out how & where they grow their products. We could never eat out because we couldn’t ensure the food was grown in non-animal fertiliser. If on the other hand I had my own veggie patch (which I hope to start some day) I! could control what goes on it. In that case no, I would not used anima! l based fertilizer, id use compost etc… Great question though....Show more
Bernadette Roel: Velveeta contains gelatin, what is a replacement product that can be used in recipes that call for velveeta? I know Velveeta has it's own unique texture/substance, so I am not sure if just any ol' cheese could replace it.
Giovanni Malool: I love it, ive never known anything else but I would think eating meat would make me feel tierd and sick. I hate it when people argue with me about it, but not once have i ever doubted it and I can say its probably the only belief i have that I never had questioned or doubted.
Leora Klingelhoets: I love being vegetarian, it makes me feel good, it improves my health and it costs cheaper. I strongly recommend it. People who are not vegetarians are not aware of what are the missing.
Carli Watterson: It could be good and could be bad too. Sure its healthy. But, the body needs nutrients that meat and dairy can provide a nice ba! lanced diet is best.
Shena Etulain: i think its a great thing. your taking care of your body and environment and, you understand the crutly to animals that is being done..i tryied to stop but my whole family eats meat which makes it hard.
Emerita Sciandra: I eat any food that makes me happeh :D
