• chicory – everyone is different in regards to how their bodies handle and process wine/alcohol. There are just soooooooo many variables. I personally find that sulfite-free wine is the best for a minimal hangover. I drank like a viking in Tuscany an…

• Although I do love my raw ‘junk food’ from time to time, I do think for me personally a plate of steamed veggies would probably do me more good than that piece of raw pumpkin pie or raw choc brownies. But heck, life is short! I believe that the atti…

• Anyone seen the 2007 movie “Year of the Dog” with SNL’s Molly Shannon. It’s about a woman who turns vegan and rescues all these dogs and gets involved with PETA issues. It’s really cute and funny and I highly recommend it. There were a few times I g…

• Yeah I’ve made peace with most everyone in my life eating meat. I will always respect others’ decisions to eat meat or not and do my best to not be judgemental. But at the same time, it’s nice to meet like-minded folks once in a while who share our …

• Superfood – I’m on the same page with you regarding your surprise to the folks who only eat meat at social occassions in order not to offend anyone. I just can’t imagine how someone could be offended by another person’s choice to be a vegetarian. It…

• Caleb – you’re cool! No offense taken at all. I guess I was really surprised at all the meat eaters out there on goneraw. I thought at one time I was sort of the ‘bad girl’ on this site, drinking beer and eating grilled tempeh sandwiches on occassio…

• I used to eat fish when I lived in Ireland but am now a vegetarian and don’t eat fish anymore. Yup I wouldn’t consider a fish eater a vegetarian. btw – I do feel very badly about that time in my life where I did eat fish. Ireland is an extremely tou…

• Heck if I can lead by example and gently influence one person into becoming vegetarian during my lifetime, then I’m a very happy camper :-) I have a brother-in-law who’s a self proclaimed carnivore and totally unhealthy. I know he’s intrigued with m…

• I do family/friend stuff all the time, especially for holidays. Everyone knows we are vegetarians and respect our decisions. So there is usually something available for us to eat that doesn’t involve killing another living being. And if not, then I …

• I remember someone telling me that for every person that becomes a vegetarian, one acre of rainforest is saved in the Amazon. Not sure how true it is but I know in my heart, not eating anything that has a face is definitely a good thing for our frag…

• springleaf – I was a vegetarian as far back as I can remember. I really loved animals as a kid (wanted to be a zoo keeper) and the thought of killing animals made me so sad. In college I was vegetarian with a love of beer and starchy foods. In my mi…

• I’m not taking any sides here but listening to this whole mess on NPR for a while now, one big worry I have is a credit freeze if nothing is done to remove all these ‘toxic’ mortgages off the banks’ balance sheets. “What about farmers who need to bu…

• uknicole – what was your raw diet like for the seven months? I’ve been 80-90% raw for a year now and have defintely had my ups and downs with this. One thing for sure is that you can’t expect your diet alone to change your life. And 7 months isn’t t…
