Eek! <BR/><BR/>We once attended a party and my husband brought that ubiquitous velveeta-hamburger dip. A vegetarian guest unknowingly ate quite a bit of it before asking what was in it; it was our first meeting, as well, so we didn't know she was veggie until it was too late. She was horrified, poor woman, and we felt terrible about it.<BR/><BR/>You said it--better safe than sorry!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748231341500700924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-75431529518025152462008-11-10T16:35:00.000-05:002008-11-10T16:35:00.000-05:00I'm a vegetarian who refuses to stoop to eating To...I'm a vegetarian who refuses to stoop to eating Tofu so I end up nibbling on breads and veggies. There are always questionable dishes. Something that looks like it's a veggie dish but wait, what's that under that layer of fresh veggies? It's crumbled hamburger meat, of course. Thankfully I stick pretty close to home for the holidays so I have no problem bugging my various siblings about what they're trying to feed me. <BR/><BR/>Always better to be safe than sorry.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377244313211301450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-52754766739443462052008-11-06T07:05:00.000-05:002008-11-06T07:05:00.000-05:00Hi, Keisha.

When we eat a mostly vegetarian diet our bodies get a chance to relax. Digesting vegetables is markedly different from digesting meat and dairy. The former takes a lot less time and energy than the latter. Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals the body needs to function at its optimal levels and to protect itself from disease.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------<BR/><BR/>kesha<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.drivenwide.com" REL="nofollow">Internet Marketing</A>keshacogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889235819464436788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-73593229161539690672008-11-05T08:10:00.000-05:002008-11-05T08:10:00.000-05:00Oh, girl!You're right about looking for easily-rec...Oh, girl!<BR/><BR/>You're right about looking for easily-recognizable food, though. You never know what's in a meatball or salad-y concoction, that's for sure. Even dippy things can be hiding wierd ingredients--especially if they're store-bought.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225368051741189734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-73902247903526001512008-11-05T01:03:00.000-05:002008-11-05T01:03:00.000-05:00I avoid the standard soy induced bowel explosion (...I avoid the standard soy induced bowel explosion (sorry to be so graphic) from hidden tvp, soy protein and tofu, by staying away from meatballs (especially at my inlaws), not eating anything creamy, and trying to stick to mostly recognizable foods like carrots and celery and rolls.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately this method is not foolproof and I've learned to stay away from broccoli salad too. Costco's broccoli salad has "soynuts" in it. It was a lesson learned the hard way.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924161328076804836noreply@blogger.com
