Just to show I'm not totally immune to the good arguments of vegetarians, I tried rice dream last month. Quite tasty, though not nice in cereal.
Thing is, I can only get it in Litre sizes. that's no good because I only use it to whiten coffee so it's gone sour before I half-finish the container. I really need a 100ml size.

> Here is one of the pictures from the celebrity link from below. Do you know who this is? Answer is Tracy Bingham (Baywatch). Who on cheers is a vegetarian? Who on Comic Strip is a vegetarian? Who on the movie The Exorcist is a vegetarian? Who is this Pro Wrestling Super Star that is vegetarian? Who on earth is a vegetarian on Saturday Night Live? Who is this political figure that is a vegetarian and so much more. See link below and find your answers. Now, my letter to Diarm and to the EEs.

> I understand Diarm. My last boyfriend would call people murderers if they ate meat and told me it was okay if I wanted some chicken, then looked at me as if I was the one who killed it (murderer) and had a bad attitude towards me. He says if we don't eat it, they won't have a need to kill the animals. He was a Four and sensative connecting to average One.
> I remember when I used to be Seventh-day Adventist and a vegetarian. I was friends with this guy who was a meat eater in the faith, which is all his wife knows how to cook. He learned about "Health Reforn" which is similar to being a vegan, but it goes a lot further than just food. He did not know how to eat that way and his wife could not cook for him, so he mostly ate peanuts and got skinny like one. Of course, she divorced him!
> Well, he became a little too fanatical about it and looked down upon any Seventh-day Adventist that ate meat. He thinks everybody is going to go to hell if they continue to eat meat. He forgot that he had to learn about it and make that choice, so does everybody else. The Seventh-day Adventist church does not force people to give up meat, just meat of scavengers as written in the old testament. I guess, since he became a vegetarian, now, everybody is suppose to be one too. He seems to judge people based on his beliefs when he became a health reform fanatic. He even took it as far as dress reform (wear suspenders, not belts, etc...).
> He didn't die of malnutrition because he was blessed to marry the only woman around who was a true health reformer from a health reform family. I helped them to court until he proved to her he was Biblically divorced. You have to know the health reform culture to understand all of this stuff, I think. I know how to cook health reform on the basic level. Froggy and I agree to bake our own bread. The his wife's mother taught me how to do it. I love health reform meals by a cook who remember that Ellen G. White says the meals are supposed to be tasty. So far it is the best food I have ever tasted. I missed that. I wish there was a life style change institute near by so I can go eat if they have a restaurant!!
> For me it was just a way of life that was motivated by my body lack of desires for meat. I am glad my body is heading that direction again. I know i better be prepared before I lose my appetite and have nothing to eat. I am hoping to make my cashew Pimento cheese like I used to do. :oP yum yum! If I practice health reform principles of cooking, we should not worry about cholesterol and stuff like that because in health reform, you use no dairy, certain types of oils, no refine sugar, no refine products, no eggs, and the list goes on. Well, true health reformers don't cook vegetarian soybean products because they make their own and it is soooo gooood! They only eat natural foods: grains, fruits, nuts and vegetables. Man, it taste sooo good when they know how to cook!!! Now, I wish I knew where a health reform restaurant is located, like Country Life Resaurants!!! You can eat as much as you want and won't gain weight if you exercise!
> Diarm, I don't like fanatics of any kind because they believe their way of life is the only right way of life, like you see in a lot of fundementalists groups. Some vegans and vegetarians can be fundementalist fanatics of their own belief system concerning diet and/or animal rights. So, I can understand your frustrations. I have seen all kinds! Most vegetarians are just regular people who eats more healthy and you would never know they are, like these celebrities that you can find on the link.
