Some of you people are making me turn
vegetarian.

I've thought about it for years, the subject gets kicked around here every day. It wont happen overnight. But gradually, I am turning... and its in large part because of DU.

3. for a while I will be caught in a conflict
alternately making fun of it and defending it

then gradually I will swear allegiance to the other team...

But I swear, I'll never eat TOFU!

8. nah, it's easier unless you try to make your own
Throw it in anyplace you would have used chicken. That's all.

Tofu you have to press the water out of, get the texture right, maybe marinate it. Pain in the butt. Seitan's easy.

13. I tried to do it all at once a few years ago with little success
Now I'm just buying less meat, buying more veggies that I like, and actually shopping the frozen food vegetarian section with some success. I'm not much of a cook, but I will start trying a few things.
Philosophically, it makes total sense, and its a healthier diet. I can't change overnight, but a little at a time.

Its kind of like recycling- when I grew up nobody did it, then we just did certain things like newspaper. Now almost everyone does everything they can. Its a change in consciousness.

9. Fellow veggies, please...
Has anyone told Lord Vega yet that our infiltration of DU may have claimed another one?

*secret handshake to you all*

Well done.
