While I didn't enjoy the stomach flu I used to do just that last year, at least I got some good out of it.Mandelbrot's Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707481552099334302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11559629.post-84566755698149205512008-05-08T21:27:00.000-05:002008-05-08T21:27:00.000-05:00I don't know what rancid piss tastes like, but I d...I don't know what rancid piss tastes like, but I don't care for Vault either. I have my 2 cups of coffee every morning, and once in a while I have a Diet Pepsi at work or with a junk food meal. What I am finding as I get older is that I am much more sensitive to caffeine; during the mornings I get speedy and giddy, and if I drink it in the afternoon, like you I end up having trouble sleeping atSnavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763424943041003098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11559629.post-27345840858050698862008-04-30T08:12:00.000-05:002008-04-30T08:12:00.000-05:001138, that sounds very sensible, and somewhat easi...1138, that sounds very sensible, and somewhat easier than quitting meat altogether.

Also, I just don't like the thought of being dependent on a chemical in case I can no longer afford it, as I've experienced evacuating from hurricanes.<BR/><BR/>I would eat bugs. They're a major protein source for at least half of the world's population, and I'm sure they're tasty.Mandelbrot's Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707481552099334302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11559629.post-61295972381043927872008-04-19T12:07:00.000-05:002008-04-19T12:07:00.000-05:00I forgot to mention one other reason I'm thinking ...I forgot to mention one other reason I'm thinking about vegetarianism - we're using vast amounts of grain to feed the beasts, plus we're filling them with hormones and god-knows-what, not to mention the dangerous diseases like mad cow, etc.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488301409338243686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11559629.post-59015013726844945722008-04-19T12:04:00.000-05:002008-04-19T12:04:00.000-05:00I can't help ya - I don't keep up with the DHA and...I can't help ya - I don't keep up with the DHA and Omega-3 stuff (maybe I should.) But, I've been thinking about going lacto-ovo, too. I'm sure it would be healthier, for one thing, plus I AM concerned about the way our fauna are treated. There's no reason for an animal to suffer. I haven't eaten veal in decades. To follow that sentiment consistently, I'm aware that I shouldn't be eating anythingCandacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488301409338243686noreply@blogger.com
