Vegetarian

[MaxRoach]

 

read it.

 

i agree with feeling disconnected about HOW i get my meat, not necessarily the eating part. it sort of feels like food is just an industry now instead of really being a necessity... i mean people that produce our food seem to care more about their profits than what they feed to the people. anyways, i'm not a vegetarian, i just try to be a conscious consumer.

[Y.FRESHJIVE]

The beers I had last week were fucking cold and delicious. They were great, as well as the weed I smoked. It led to some awesome sex with a really hot girl. There's a few beers left in the fridge.

 

hahaa

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to YoungCousin again.

[Bad Medicine]

hey i have to say'

i dont remember rambling last night due to my alcohol consumption...

i appolijize to crashing your veggie thread..

and being rude to your views on the ways you choose to eat...

and for being rude to you ms.seyer...

truce?

:P

[iloveboxcars]

did appolijize really look like the best spelling to you?

[count chocula]

but then again i'm weird with most liquids. i cant drink juice straight, its too sweet for me, i usually do half juice half water.

 

dude...you drink beer from a pitcher.

 

i seent it.

[iloveboxcars]

hahaha. i said most liquids.

[IOU]

I need to make at least two days a week non meat eating days.

[Schnitzel]

I eat too much meat.

Think it would do me good to personally despatch an animal before eating it because the disconnect from slaughterhouse to supermarket shelf is too wide.

would probably sort me out because I don't think I could handle the guilt of killing a cow or pig.

Here is a quick easy recipe that i do like twice a week..

 

I call this shit BBQ TOFU.

 

I get some of the extra firm tofu (the whole block is like 40 g protein) and the whole foods brand, 365 organic cost about 1.60 a block..

Some of that Baby Rays sauce, i like the original and the hickory & brown sugar. But any bbq sauce will work.

 

Cut the tofu block in half (make 2 meals out of the block). Then cut the tofu into smaller cuts so it looks like this... ( or cut to what size you want)..

 

And get a pan put some oil in there of choice, a half decent amount. Let that oil get real hot ( splash just a lil bit of water into the oil, and if the oil starts going crazy, then its hot enough). Put the cut up tofu in the pan with oil. Let them bitches get crispy on all sides. When the tofu is crispy enough for you, take the tofu out and put it onto a few peices of paper/towels, etc to soak up alot of the oil. Dump the oil out of the pan, to somewhere safe. Put the tofu back in the hot pan, put alot of the sauce on the tofu, and start flipping that tofu around like a real chef (add more sauce at anytime if needed). Make sure you coat all the tofu evenly with sauce. Then just dump it neatly onto a plate with your sides ( i prefer asparagus, and potatos, beer).

I will probably make this agian real soon, and ill take some step by step pictures, and post em up. This is real simple to make tho. All your really doing is frying tofu, and then adding you favorite BBQ sauce.

 

Looks kinda like this when done..

I have a steak/burger/bratwurst once in a blue moon, but my diet is based mostly on vegetables, with chicken and fish on occasion.

 

I choose to eat this way to be healthy, and also because it is economical. Cuts are expensive.

 

Some of my friends are totally (purposefully) ignorant to the vegetarian shit, though. My roommate eats a ton of pork (bacon, sausage) and beef and dude never felt well or had energy.

[Ferris Bueller]

That tofu shit looks good, but I don't fuck with Sweet Baby Ray's as it has the high fructose corn syrup shit in it.

 

Ken Davis is a good choice.

Yea dude all my roomates eat meat. They fry there hamburgers, and eat these cheap ass pork steaks that smell up the whole house. And yea they are not very energetic or athletic. They all smell of B.O. also. But i might have to try that Ken Davis sauce next.

[Ferris Bueller]

The Ken Davis has molasses or something. I'm not sure. I don't know if it is a regional thing or not either, so not sure if it is available in your area. But yo, if you see it, pick it up.

[Elorock]

Vegan for 10+ years here.

That is all.

[T.T Boy]

just a note, a ton of beers are not vegetarian. newcastle especially, they use fishoil in the brewing process.

apparently nutella uses ox blood for colouring as well.

 

 

i know that can be a bit much, but still something to know.

 

all you veggiequarians and your fish eating. get off the seafood.

if you have a good chinese superstore near you you can find some amazing vegan/veggie prawns, red snapper, tilapia, crab etc theyre all made in taiwan if i remember. I dont like them as they taste too much like the real thing and i dont like seafood as well.

[FiveDollarBootlegDVD]

 

um,laugh out loud ? it isnt protein or meat consumption making this country fat. it is the gorging on carbohydrates,especially grain products and sedentary lifestyles.

mmmmmm. oh wait, wrong thread.

[chorus]

 

anyway it's been 14 years for me, though i do still eat dairy and seafood (not a big fish fan)

and i became lactose intolerant so i have to eat those damn lactase pills a lot, which sucks.

 

i'm also trying to get off seafood, almost completely. i am down to shrimp and crab basically.

You seem like a good egg and all, but sea food is still meat. So it's not really accurate to say you are a vegitarian. I'm always suprised when people imply they consider themselves vegitarian but eat seafood.

 

I'm actually in the same boat. I basically don't eat land animals. The reason is it personally is the healthiest choice I can make for myself for the long term, that and farming things like cattle and sheep aren't sustainable for our environment. They are a total waste of resources. So i don't think buying something that's more wasteful and is going to be less healthy for me, makes much sense.

 

I agree with the comment about how anti vegitirian a lot of people are. I am amazed by it. There have definately been long term add campaigns here in Australia to promote people eating meat since they are such big industries here. So maybe that has something to do with it.

 

Anyway I'm suprised how a lot of my friends have poked cheap fun at me for not eating meat. It's just the kind of shit friends do so ofcourse I don't care, but its just such a dumb thing to even mention. Atleast when I make fun of my friends it's for their aweful facial hair.

Actually, excess protein in your system eventually gets stored as fat when your body is unable to process all of it. but obviously, regardless of whether or not you're an omnivore or a level 5 vegan(never eat anything that casts a shadow) eating an imbalanced diet will lead to health problems.

[!@#$%]

I don't believe you.

and why would you not eat seafood? it's really good for you.

 

honestly i don't care what you believe.

anyway i used to be a cook so for years i would cook meat at work.

what people do or do not eat is in them.

 

and mercury is poisoning seafood. read up on it sometime, it is getting pretty bad for eskimos, who eat mostly seafood. also i don't like it that much, if you read the original post.

call me whatever you want.

not a problem.

there are many definitions of the whole vegetarian word, including some that imply that veganism and vegetarianism are basically the same.

 

there is lacto-veg as well, which says you eat dairy.

 

since there is not one commission ruling over what is or is not vegetarian, i'm still going to call myself that, since i haven't eaten any animals besides seafood for so long, and really, have not eaten that much seafood either.

i'm not the vegetarian who eats chicken and the occasional steak,

 

 

Pescetarianism—A diet that excludes all meat except fish, shellfish, and crustacea.

you could say this about me i suppose, but no one knows what this is.

i also continue to eat seafood as a convenience to people (as suki ate ribs not to offend, sometimes i have to eat fish not to offend)

i also hardly ever eat fish, like 2 times a year. and no crustacea, and only 2 types of shellfish

[SukiSukiNow]

i guess im an ovo-lacto-pescetarian

[abcs]

for all you vegetable heads. If you dont already eat

edamame or kno what it is you should get educated.

Good stuff. Either boiled and sea salted or like i just

found it. Dry roasted and lightly salted. Edamame....

kinda a big deal.

 

the dry roasted lightly salted is the jump but so you kno

theres like no grease or oils or something going on with

it. Dries your mouth out like nobodys biz

[eatso]

I should be a vegan.

but I'm not.

maybe tomorrow.

vegans rock.

[eatso]

I was just thinking about

how some people equate compassion and healthy lifestyles

with weakness.

fucking dummies.

the "vegan equals emasculation" thing for dudes is really fucking retarded as well.

*sigh

stupid people are stupid.

anyway

this song is funny to me.

 

[veintiocho]
