I'm curious who the mutual friend is?!<br /><br />I think it's a worthy cause (eating less meat) and I'm glad that others like yourself are behind it. <br /><br />Thanks again!!Dish This!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02160888911586286633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408822759117198804.post-77060425179694258832009-06-28T17:22:28.991-04:002009-06-28T17:22:28.991-04:00Hey!

A mutual friend of ours has turned me onto this blog and I've really enjoyed it thus far!<br /><br />And as of this post, I really REALLY enjoy it!<br /><br />I commend you on trying this where many do not try or care.<br /><br />I talk a lot about this subject on my own blog: <a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog" rel="nofollow">Now is not the Rhyme</a>. And recently, I wrote this post: <a href="http://www.powersourcestudios.net/blog/anevenworseamerican" rel="nofollow"><i>an even worse american</i></a>.<br /><br />I may have to consider myself a flexitarian, now. Though, "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeganism" rel="nofollow">freegan</a>" probably describes my stance on not purchasing meat more appropriately.<br /><br />I also have to commend you on mentioning how people can cut down on eating meat. I really loved this post and have linked it to many people I think this would benefit.<br /><br />Thank you, seriously, very much for doing this. You have my utmost respect.Mileshttp://www.powersourcestudios.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408822759117198804.post-88592838768790895592009-06-26T15:32:21.515-04:002009-06-26T15:32:21.515-04:00MMMM burritos...

(We are not so far from civilization as one might think - and I can say that, because I used to think it before I moved here).<br /><br />I am a meat fiend myself, but appreciate good food of any ilk.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280288778530721329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408822759117198804.post-52142502197535150362009-06-25T13:08:34.169-04:002009-06-25T13:08:34.169-04:00Your comment made me wanna try again!

Plus, there are like legit 3 restaurants in Boston that offer vegan options-- I don't see myself going out to dinner ordering a garden salad w/ no dressing like every time! But I love your eggs and fish idea-- I agree, I dont have any ethical problem with eating eggs. Quark sounds snazzy! The big "healthy peeps" trend over here right now is Greek yogurt, flax/oats/granola/whatever, and fruit. I wish I could buy more fruit, but carrying it from the Shaws at the Pru to the North End is 1) super heavy for stuff like cantaloupe and 2) just asking for me to crush strawberries, etc. So I stick with bananas. I'm obsessed with PB & banana right now. <br /><br />Wow this was a long comment. And yes, I can't even imagine our self-made liquid diet...we know how that ended up ;)Dish This!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02160888911586286633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408822759117198804.post-65122849958578614352009-06-24T19:56:20.665-04:002009-06-24T19:56:20.665-04:00yay! good job! the vegan thing is super hard, almo...yay! good job! the vegan thing is super hard, almost impossible, especially if you're someone who is new to it and actually can't spend all day reading labels.<br /><br />a word in support of no meat:<br />i haven't had any in over a year and a half and it's been one of the best decisions i ever made. really. since then i gave it up, i haven't had nearly any of the cramps and pains that i used to get every single day. i really think my body can't handle meat... in short, it changed my life. and, i still do eggs and fish (my reasoning against any ethical criticism being that i'll eat it if i wouldn't have a problem killing it).<br /><br />but, anyway, rock it out - i love that you're into quinoa and tofu now - it's crazy how for so long i would have balked at those foods and now they're two of my favorite. <br /><br />my new favorite thing is dinkel with tofu (marinated in some sesame oil and tamari), green onion, kidney beans, and cayenne.<br /><br />also do you use wheat germ? oh. my. god. seriously, fresh fruit, skim Quark (which is this middle ground between cream and cottage cheese that we have over here, i don't know the american equivalent), and wheat germ for breakfast - weight loss gold. <br /><br />what were we thinking with liquid diets?chris|kramarichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662879625314601379noreply@blogger.com
