Fresh Vegetable Recipes

Vegetarians? I want to ask to those who are vegetarians... What kind of food do you guys give to your dogs or cats? I love animals and i don't want to eat them, but I think that if I don't give my dog at least moderate quantities of meat to eat, it will suffer from deficiencies. What do you think? I give meat to my dog! I was just wondering what other people, who are vegetarians, do. Referred to those who believe that dogs are carnivores... domestic dogs are not purely carnivores, but omnivores (Wikipedia, + I study these things) Dog's diet must also include other things. And with "also" I don't mean "only". Meat + veggies + carbs should be perfect. Cats are obligate carnivores. They really need meat to live.

Several friends are vegetarians (not vegans - they eat dairy products and fish) and I want to give them something to eat besides veggies and dip, but my mind is blank. Vegetarians, what is your "wish list" for foods at parties (your food, not other peoples ;)? Anyone else, any ideas of what I can serve? Like I said, it's a thank you party, so I don't want to serve boring food. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! EDITED TO ADD: I'm not sure what my friends' deal is, but they always described themselves as vegetarians. I just recently found out that they eat sashimi (sushi), and to my knowledge that is the only meat they eat. Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming!

How do you become a vegetarian? What different types of vegetarians are there? I am wanting to be on a diet because I am extremely overweight. I am 5'3 and weigh about 213 lbs. My problem is that I LOVE food and I was raised in an environment that when it came to dinnertime, you either ate what you had on the table or you went hungry, and that was including cleaning everything on your plate. My family were farmers and had very little as it was so we ate whatever we had in our house. Well, as far as I can remember, I have always done that. I've tried a few diets, with success but then gained weight back plus more. I've have been thinking lately about becoming a vegetarian. I have been thinking of this because my sister-in-law and mother-in-law are vegetarians and seem to be extremely healthy, along with being in their weight ranges for their ages. I'm needing to know where and how I should start looking into becoming a vegetarian and how many different types of vegetarians there are. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

What should vegetarians do to make vegetarianism more mainstream? There are three main challenges here, I think: 1. Getting More Choice on Restaurant Menus Vegetarians should have more options at the pub than just carrots and deep-fried zucchini, don't you think? 2. The Tofu Problem Yes, tofu can be okay, but every vegetarian meal doesn't have to include processed bean curd with artificial chicken flavour, does it? I mean, can't the thought that "real fruits and vegetables can taste good all by themselves" catch on? 3. That Sanctimonious Beatnik in Graduate School You know the one I mean. His name was Beardo the Wierdo, and he looked down his nose at anybody who ate meat, and acted morally superior to anyone who had ever eaten a hamburger. And so now, lots of people think all vegetarians are like that. What is to be done?

What is a good weight loss diet for vegetarians? My husband and I are both vegetarians (well I eat seafood, but he does not). We both need to lose at least 40 pounds. What is a good diet program that would work with what we eat. I know a lot of people that lost weight with Atkins & South Beach, but those diets don't really fit in to a vegetarian lifestyle. I am not looking for a quick fix, but something that we will be able to stick with for awhile. I know that part of our problem is that we eat a lot of carbs. We practically live on pasta. Its hard because we work different schedules so neither one of us really cooks a meal, but rather grabs something to eat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Okay, I understand exercise. Thats a given. That isn't what I was asking. What other meals are good for vegetarians that don't include so many carbs?

Why do some vegetarians still eat chicken? I went to a vegan restaurant with a couple of friends (their invite), and although there was no red meat on the menu, they had chicken and fish. When I asked the waiter why, he said that some vegetarians eat chicken and fish. Why is that? Wouldn't that make a person a non-vegetarian because they're eating meat? Or is it because it's not red meat?

Why do some vegetarians think that eating meat is bad for everyone? I mean, what would you tell indeginous peoples' around the world that live in extremely cold climates? They need meat not only to for nourishment, but to sustain a fatty insulation on their bodies' to keep them warm. Aside from that, they need to kill animals to make clothing, and they certainly wouldn't let the meat to go to waste. Please, no answers about importing veggies to these regions, as it would be easier to feed all of Africa first. These people have been eating meat for thousands of years to survive. I think being a vegetarian or vegan is a great thing, but its not practical for everyone. Aside from that, there are still tribal cultures that exist in every climate that would perish without meat. Should they become vegetarians or vegans for moral reasons? Just wanted to promote an educational thread here, my question and ALL answers will hopefully teach people something. I am non-baised about the issue. It just comes up in a lot of conversations and I wanted to hear what the folks in this category would say. To me, Yahoo answers is about learning, not bashing or preaching. I've noticed that some people assume I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan. I haven't pointed that out. I am not posting for the sake of my "argumement" either. This is a common issue in my life and I wanted to post the core of the issue here so as not to be constantly interupted in mid-sentence. I will tell you this, I am non-extremist about anyting in my personal life. Whether I eat meat or not has nothing to do with the logic of a coomonly asked question that didn't originate with me. Who better to go to than the authorities and hear out their side. I have learned a lot from this thread, and as I have mentioned, I intended to promote an educational thread. It worked. Thanks to some of the answers, I am inclined to post similar questions regarding pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers, organic and free range issues, and moral issues about killing anything for various reasons. I am in this for education and awareness. I will place the Q's in the appropriate categories

Vegetarians, would you go out of your way to find a vegetarian roommate? My current roommate who is not a vegetarian is moving out. In more than one aspect I am please about this.

If you problem is with the process, then would this be a solution for you as well?

Why do vegetarians referr their foods after omnivores types? I would think that a vegan's foods would be shaped and referenced towards things that do not have faces,like carrots, onions, beans, and eggplants, instead vegetarians references are the same as omnivores foods such as tofu turkey, or veggie-burgers tofu-dogs. I see meat shaped vegetables as contrary to their food philosophy. Are vegans and vegetarians really into their life style choices all the way or not? I am not criticizing your choices, we all have to eat, and having the right to classify yourselves as vegans and vegetarians could positively lend itself to change your meal descriptions to vegetarian focus, instead of the usual meat references towards foods. Heck, there is no one on earth who loves eggplant parmesan or mushroom-barley soup more that me, but you won't hear me naming it after some mock beef stew either.

So, where did I get brainwashed people?

Why are vegetarians so cruel to plants? Many vegetarians will tell you that at least one of their reasons for being vegetarian is due to their concern for helpless animals. So instead they eat plants which are even more helpless. Why are they such insensitive brutes to these harmless organisms? Beebs: So i guess if we could genetically engineer a cow that had no central nervous system, I would see you at McDonalds? And you are correct, I do not care what has to die in order for me to stay aIive, and I am pretty sure Lions feel the same way. Vegan&Proud: I read your link. So i will ask you the same question I asked Beebs: If we could genetically produce cows that were not sentient. Would you eat them? I AM NOT TRYING TO ANGER YOU. I JUST WANT AN ANSWER. If cows had no feelings or self awareness, would you eat them? Golden: Loved your answer. I did not know there was such a diet. It certainly seems more consistent with being humane (if that is important to you).

Why are people so against vegetarians? I know a lot of people out there complain about vegetarians & how stuck-up & dumb they thinnnk they are. A lot of people feel that animals are on this Earth to serve us. I love animals & I'm a total vegetarian treehugger hippie animalloven peacefreak activist! When ever I tell someone I'm a vegetarian they start acting like I'm crazy or stupid!

I mean people say its bcuz vegetarians r against meateaters, but seriously, most vegatarians & vegans arent!

Why do some vegetarians eat fish and chicken? I always associated vegetarians as people who don't like to eat something that was once alive? The reason I ask is I am going to a wedding today and the meal is lamb (which I never eat and never will) and I've discovered the vegetarian dish is fish. I don't like fish either so I'm gonna be hungry ! Hmm a lunch of potatoes ! Just for the record I'm not vegetarian - I love a good steak or bacon butty but the bride of the wedding is veggy and obviously thinks fish isn't classed as a living thing. I just don't like lamb or fish - eeew

Why are some vegetarians obsessed with dairy? It seems like when people give up meat they overcompensate by consuming unhealthy amounts of dairy. I don't mean to generalize, sorry, but it happens. I've seen that some vegetarians give their main protein sources as cheese, milk, and eggs. Why? Haven't you discovered the power of the plant protein yet? I usually buy the vegan cookbooks. I heard some great things about certain vegetarian cookbooks but they have cheese or butter or eggs in almost every recipe, so I avoid them.

Why do so many so-called vegetarians insist that fish is not meat? I understand that vegans are true vegetarians, but fish is meat. A point to make that was inspired by some of the answers. Could one call themself a part-time vegetarian if they ate meat occasionally? Say, on spacial occasions or holidays? A point to make that was inspired by some of the answers. Could one call themself a part-time vegetarian if they ate meat occasionally? Say, on special occasions or holidays? BTW. This question didn't originate with me, I just brought it here to see what different people think, as it is a common question. Also, as with my usual intent when asking questions on Yahoo, I intended to open an educational thread. Well, as inevitable as always, you can learn 'something' from anyone's answer whether you agree the answer or not. I didn't come here to label people or provoke arguemnent. I am not "looking for reasons to fight and separate people". This question is vegetarian related and therefore I posted it in the category which was appropriate. If humans are animals, which I do believe, then anyone that ate any kind of meat, eggs or dairy alongside thier fruits and veggies would be considered an omnivoure. If I wanted to provoke anargument, I wouldn't have used this question. It would be more like this. Why do some (vegan,vegetarians, environmentalists), and so on self justify their words and actions when practically everything they touch daily... ...there were three major negative consequences as a result of those things to coming into existence. The destruction of wild habitats; death of individual plants and animals, decline in population of various species, and so on. Transportation and delivery of goods; Burning of fuel, the use of vehicles, loading and unloading of "goods", and so on. The exploitation of workers and human rights violations; most people don't know where these products come from and have no clue to the fact that people suffer in horrid conditions to produce these "goods". Yeah, now that would be creating an argumement. The majority of humans are participating daily in the intentional/non-intentional destruction of Mother Nature. This would really stir people up, there would be a frenzy of TDs and TUs for every answer and every self rightious backlass or statement that proclaimed, "Not me, I..." I could post this in every category/sub-category and get 100 posts within the day. Out od space. TBC

Do vegetarians think it is ok for animals to hunt and kill for food, but? it is not ok for people to do the same? I understand about the inhumane conditions animals suffer when they are raised commercially for food and I could not agree with you more, but what about when people raise them at home. My husband and I raise poultry and livestock on our farm for our own consumption. We also hunt and fish. The animals have huge pens and pastures to roam in, they always have food and fresh water. The chickens roam free in the daytime and roost inside a chicken house at night to be safe from predators. The animals seem very content. I do not see anything wrong with this. What do vegetarians think?

For Vegetarians: How much of an impact in the world are you really making by not eating animals? Personally, I think vegetarians shouldn't be denying themselves protein and good food, and that their efforts should be towards preventing animal cruelty. There are many veges who do both and I respect that, but what about the ones who only vege out and don't support any other organization? Those are the ones I dont agree with.

Why do some fish eaters claim to be vegetarians? Just curious. On this site we regularly get fish eaters claiming to be vegetarians. And yet all the recognised world authorities on vegetarian issues, and dictionaries, say this A Vegetarian os a person who does not eat meat, fish, poultry or any slaughter by-products What is the point in lying to yourselves and others ? Please don't point to any unmoderated website that says veggies eat fish, they are just made up definitions, not real ones. I don't think i would ever lie just to say i was connected to a group of people, no matter how great they were fish-eaters cause so much confusion to the vegetarian movement. Even in the face of being told what the official definition is, they still claim to be veggies. whats the point ? My question is not about whats right, or wrong about being veggie, so we don't need to discuss the merits of vegetarianism vs fishy diets. My question is about why do so many fisheaters pretend to be veggies. by "authority" i mean "accepted expert", not controlling group. i notice all the fish eaters are quite...what a suprise Still no fishy people after 4 hours ? How strange, they are all very quick to state they are veggies in the other questions on here.....me thinks they have no answer.

Vegans and Vegetarians-what is the difference? what is the differecne between vegans and vegetarians? im not trying to be ignorant or anything, its just that i just started answering in this category today, and i think that if i knew what the difference was, i could answer peoples' questions better! thanks!

What is it that so many people have against vegetarians? I recently went veg and as i've been reading stuff online about being a vegetarian, i saw how mean people are towards vegetarians like we're bad people or something. even my friends seem to have problems with it. at school during lunch we always end up in an argument about me not eating meat. one actually said to me today "you care more about animals than you do about humans!" which is so not true. it's just that i feel bad that animals have to suffer for us to eat. they dont deserve that. eating a cow or a chicken is like eating your pet dog or bird. they're all animals what's so bad about vegetarians that people dislike so much?

With all the food that morning star, boca,etc. make like veggie bacon, chicken patties, riblets, on and on.......why can't we have this conveniently resteraunt style?

Vegetarians..........? I am sorry but who the hell gets of telling other people what they can and cannot eat. I could sit and eat bacon and burgers all day and still call myself a vegetarian and I don't really care if someone else didn't like it. Those whom call themselves vegetarians because they don't eat living things is bull, if you really never ate living things you would never eat fruit or vegetables, they were living once too! I currently am a vegetarian who does not eat fish, but say tomorrow I decided to have some nice fried mullet, guess what i would still call myself a vegetarian because i am allowed to, and that's o.k. Ok sry I was off on a little rant , but i think vegetarians should be able to eat fish if they want to, without other people beating up on them about it. Good point Kara, but you can't be so sure that plants don't feel pain, just because they can't speak or make noises doesn't mean thaey cannot feel pain I know i am probably sounding like a dumb as* but thats just my opinion and as far as i know were all entitled to one right? JUST TO BE CLEAR: I AM A VEGETARIAN AND I DO NOT EAT FISH! I JUST WILL SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO DO! LIFE ISN'T FAIR .. GET OVER IT

Vegetarians ?????? ok so I’ve been vegetarian for like 14 weeks and last week, my dad made spaghetti and he got the sauce in a jar... but he didn’t realize (neither did I) that the sauce had meat in it so when I finally did realize that there was meat in it I was already mostly done. ok so my reaction to this whole thing ......I sat there and started to cry for like 30 minutes, then I went to the bathroom and made myself puke every thing I just ate, ( i never made myself puke before ). so my question to you vegetarians is ....what would you have done in this situation? how long have you been a vegetarian ?

vegetarians? to all vegetarians/vegans...do you also find it annoying when people continuously say to you "awww. ur a vegetarian? how do you ever get enough protein?" i find it unbelievably ignorant for people to say that. and when they ask that question...what kind of answer are they expecting? like "ohh. i don't know" or "i'm malnourished" or WHAT? when some people ask that...i think they are just trying to sound smarter than they are. but whatever. what do you think?

vegetarians? I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure where to put it. I was just wondering if there were any vegetarians (due to ethical reasons) out there who give meat to their dogs? I don't mean this in a patronizing way, I'm genuinely curious. If you do give your dog meat, why is that alright, but humans eating meat isn't? And if you do have a dog and don't give it meat, what does it eat? Thank you!

Vegetarians? Should Vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Vegetarians....? Do vegetarians eat animal crackers or gold fish crackers? Why are some people so bitchy on here? All I asked is a question. Thats what this is for right? If you don't have a good answer, don't answer.

Vegetarians? Why is it that vegetarians think that there is something wrong with eating meat? God gave man control over the animals at the beginning of the bible. If you're not Christian, humans also have omnivore dentition. We were meant to eat animals. I think it's kind of hypocritical that they won't eat meat when there are starving people all over the world that would just about die for a peice of beef or chicken. What kind of a humanitarian is that?

Vegetarians? Why are you vegetarians , whats your "story"?? I am not a vegetarian.

Vegetarians? I noticed that some products such as sweets, cookies, bread rolls and stuff like that sometimes contain animal fat. Have you vegetarian guys ever noticed that? Do you always read all the ingredients before eating a product? (I'm not vegetarian so I don't know, however I think they shouldn't put animal fat in apparently "vegetarian" foods!)

Vegetarians? I have been a vegetarian for over a year now and most people haven't made a big deal out of it until this year. So far I've been called "Veggie Girl" & "Eco Geek" and stuff. And, this girl in my last class always asks me annoying questions about being an animal lover or being a vegetarian. So today, I was wearing my jacket that said HERBIVORE, and a guy I've known for awhile said "Are you a vegetarian?" And I was like "Yea, why?" He paused for a minute, stared, and then just said "Freak." And then he walked off. My question for you is, what kind of names have you been called, and how do I tell him that it really bothered me? BTW, I am a sophomore in high school and he was a freshmen. Normally when I wear animal rights stuff, people are very interested and ask me about it. But only like 2 certain people bug me all the time. Oh, I am fine with Veggie Girl! =D There are lots I don't mind...but of course, some I do.

Vegetarians!? This is a serious question, not a joke ... How do you do it? Do you not find it hard when you pass a fast food shop or something? Are you ever tempted and have you ever eaten a peice of meat after deciding you were a vegetarian? When did you decide to become a vegetarian and what made you want to be one?

Vegetarians ? Ok this morning i was sitting eating a fried egg, thinking about what my mum said to me earlier - she said that these eggs were baby chicks - and i was just about to put it into my mouth - i thought omg, apart from eggs, think about what you've ate at mcdonalds think of the poor animals that have suffered - thats why from now on im becoming a vegetarian - including fish in my diet because i need iron. Any tips on what food to eat and what food not to eat? Thanks xx Nicole xx P.s - My mum is probably the only one supporting me but Kids at school will laugh at me when im offered something meaty and i tell them im a vegetarian and some of my family members will not support me and just laugh in my face like when i told them something last year - any advice on what to tell them? All i know is to tell them to shut up but thats disrespectful and inappropriate lol =) Thanks xx They could of became baby chicks if farmers had left them alone :O!! I know what you mean - i dont need to eat fish just for protien like i could eat - green veggies - but i felt left out at family dinner today when they had mcdonalds so i got a fish finger meal lol :D Why'd you all think im dumb in biology sheesh give me a break im only 15!! Lol

Vegetarians? I am not a vegetarian, but my best friend is. Please help me understand something. If you are a vegetarian and do not eat chicken.....how is it that you still eat eggs? My argument is that its DNA is still that of a chicken and you stopped the growth process (in essence, killing it). Her and I always debate this and neither one of us come to a conclusion. Please help! I hope I didn't offend anyone. Just VERY curious. Thanks!

vegetarians..? ive been a vegetarian for some time now and my friend and i were arguing about it and hes got some really..interesting points of view. haha. he argues that why eat vegetables when its like eating something thats alive. he says that plants also have blood..it may not be the type of blood we know as in the red gooey stuff be its water and nuitrients. not only that but we grow animals specifically to kill yes? we keep them on isolated farms and such..well dont we do the same to vegetables? we have acres and acres of land just to grow veggies when all we do is rip them out and cut them up...sound a little familiar to animals? im not against eating plants cuz i am a vegetarian i just wanna know what you think of this view.

Vegetarians? Are you a vegetarian? I want to be a vegetarian, but first of all: do you feel better without eating meat? Is that healthy? the opinions of the doctors are divided... what d you think? what about diseases?

vegetarians? hi, i really want to become a vegetarian. Are there different forms? How do I start without breaking? I've tried like 3 times but always end up eating meat.
