Urban Curry in Spanish Springs was very nice, but short-lived as the demand for it was low. It tried changing to Urban Grill - offering more non-Indian dishes - but that just delayed the inevitable closing :-(
Fresh Market on 466 has a good selection of herbs, spices and whole foods. |

I have never been one for fad diets especially when you are aware that 8 new ones appear every year but there is one diet that cause m to pause. A young girl, Brook, in my office often stopped me to explain the latest diet she was testing. On this day she caught my attention because for three weeks she would eat nothing but wine, cheese and bread Now that excites me....well until dinner when steak with mushrooms sautee in a butter wine sauce is served up with a side dish of pasta a glass of wine and oh yes a salad to fill my veggie requirement....a salad that is eaten last the European way
Bon appetit |

Sorry Jim, you are a good dude but there aren't enough statistics in the world, to convince me, to become a a vegan
I try to eat as little meat as possible but I can't give it up totally.

As of last year there were reported 16 million vegetarians in the US, half of those vegan.
So it's not everyone. But the numbers are growing, the point of my threads on this lifestyle (notice I didn't say diet) is simply to create awareness of options in food for your health. |

And you thought a good way to start the dialogue was to try and put meat eaters on a guilt trip by reminding us how many animals we butcher? This thread has made me determined to become a more militant carnivore. As a matter of fact, I am joining PETA

The number of "killings" cited by Jimbo may well be an underestimate: "The average meat eating person eats 7,000 animals in their life time or 70 billion a year are killed for food" If the average meat-eater lives for 70 years, then 7,000 animals in a lifetime is 100 per year. Multiply that by the number of humans - 7 billion - and up to 700 billion animals per year would be killed. Even allowing for not everyone being a meat-eater, you would have to kill, say, 500 billion per year. Of course, there's a big difference between killing a sardine and slaughtering a cow... |

I don't know why some folks are so militant about food choices.. Eat what you like. Live long and prosper. I have my own views as to what is healthy.

According to the above link, 5% of the population are vegetarians and only 2% are vegans. So why do people always feel so threatened by someone promoting vegetarianism or veganism? How bad can it be if the Seventh-day Adventists, on average, live ten years longer than the rest of the U.S. population? |
