Vegetarian hippie freaks!

[twirlgrrl]

I found this article amusing. This is how I felt when I was vegetarian, at least once I got out into the "real world" where vegetarians are very much in the minority. When I was living, schooling and working in Adventist institutions I wasn't so much set apart.

I've been vegetarian for several long chunks in my life and I'm sure I will be again. I can almost feel it coming these days.

I think a lot of my friends do what we do -- they move in and out of it over time, as suits their needs and tastes. A few have always been and always will be vegetarians. I never really thought about it as yes/no majority/minority.

None of us really like the flavored tofu; it's got a poor texture and is generally way too salty. And the Morningstar stuff has the same problems with the addition of using a lot of wheat gluten, which cranks on my joints. One three out of the five of us care for beans.

I think having any kind of strict diet stuff in a big household is bound to be a pain in the ass. I should just get over it.

Don't you all have individual special diets also? Or at least three of you? I don't know how you handle all that. We are so non-special in our diet comparatively. Things like wheat, nuts, dairy, salt, soy, whatever... we eat it all.
