LOL!!!! I am right there with you! The Fage yogurt was the hardest part. Thanks for sharing that link! "The FDA cares as much for our health as Dick Cheney does for his hunting buddies". ROTFLMAO!! I like this guy! I'd say that raw milk is a step up but the milk still contains IGF-1 though...

I think the world would be a much better place if people just communicated instead of thinking that the world revolves around them and insisting that their friends and associates know "exact" definitions of vegetarism. By communicating I don't mean defending and arguing (because that may not be...

ROTFL!!! Bovi vegetarian? Porci vegetarian???? I don't know, Kathryn, it may just be a matter of symantics. I understand where you are coming from and I agree that if someone eats fish or poultry, it's really not vegetarian in the strict sense of the word or even the spirit of it. But...

I don't think any of them do :eek: In all fairness though most girlfriends don't know the "right" reaction either. And when you are faced with scary diagnosis or the possibility of it, I don't think there is anything anyone can say or do. As you said, I think it is a very lonely path. When I...

No!!! I can't get over the name :p:D

To me, that's how it comes across though, as labeling people and being upset and angry that people don't know that you won't eat fish or whatever it is that you don't eat. I still don't see what the big deal is if I "have to" explain to people that I won't or can't eat xyz food because stupid...

I really don't get what the big deal is about people saying that they eat (or are) mostly vegetarian. If I eat vegetarian Monday to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday but eat fish on Friday, I still eat mostly vegetarian. Vegetarian is a way of eating, like eating Italian, French, German...

This maybe a stupid question but why do you defend/argue/explain? I think to let people know what the "true" meaning of being vegetarian or vegan is only important if I care about labels and defined limits. Personally, I don't think I am defined by my diet. Being vegetarian or vegan may be an...

Uggghh! I sure hope they improve those school lunches but I wouldn't hold my breath. I went to my kids' school for lunch a few times and what they sell as healthy just makes me shudder. Even the "salad bar" consists of mainly canned fruit and veggies. It is so frustrating, when you pack your...

Thanks! I don't "have" cancer though. I was diagnosed in 2008 and there is no sign of disease. I agree with the point you are making that there rarely is only one single thing that causes a disease or result but since you were talking about modern medicine, many drugs also can cause...

Doesn't sound excessive to me. I probably drink that amount of tea by myself :o I doubt that the tea is the culprit, especially since you vary that much. Sometimes valerian is mixed with kava kava which can cause liver problems, or contaminants in the tea but Yogi tea and Tazo are pretty...

Ditto to what Janie said!!! I try to buy mainly at farmer's markets and directly from local farmers. I am really annoyed by the deception running so rampant these days. You have to check every single label, can't believe anything that's on the package. And I don't know if it is just me...

I am sorry, Stephanie!!! I shouldn't have turned your thread into a pissing match. So how do you feel so far?

LOL!!! Looks like a future figure competion winner indeed!!! Look at that biceps :D:D Cute baby picture, Liann!

I don't judge anyone's diet! I apologize if it comes across that way! This is not my intention. If you feel you can't live without dairy, by all means eat as much as you like. I am merely stating my reasoning why dairy is out of the picture for me. That doesn't mean that everyone else has to do...

Geeh, don't hold back! Is personal insults all you got?

Well, then keep your "duh" comment to yourself.:) You talked about complete proteins and then your vegan conspiracy theory. ;) My response to you was that your theory about proteins only remaining in the body for a couple of hours is flawed. This was a general statement and doesn't only apply to...

Who do you say "duh" to? Wasn't this thread about vegetarians, pescetarians, etc.? I was just counteracting the claim that humans need animal protein in order to survive and I said that our closest relative, the chimpanzee, eats a wide variety of foods, mostly plants and survives just fine...

I hadn't heard of chimps going to Williams Sonoma to buy grills to cook up roadkill ;);) I agree that omonivores don't need to worry about combining proteins or worry about their protein intake, that was my point. What do you think humans are? Just a hint, Michael Pollan's book comes to mind...

Wendy, if you are at risk for ovarian or breast cancer you need to cut out all milk and dairy products! Your symptoms of headaches and sinus infections also point to possible allergies to dairy. I would try and cut out dairy totally for 30 days and see what happens. I just responded in...
