<He would like for our family to do an experiment
to see how we would feel if we went a week without eating meat or meat
by-products.>
Probably the biggest difference you will notice is that you will be
more regular! Remember that vegetarians can be unhealthy too, if they
are eating a lot of processed foods. The trick is to eat things that
are as close to their original state as possible, meaning whole, raw
foods. If there are things on the label that you cannot pronounce you
probably shouldn't be eating them either, as a general rule. Organic
food will have more nutritional value also and less toxins. I buy
flour free bread too and my kids can't tell the difference.

One other consideration is cost. While in some parts of the country many
things might be reasonable, in others they might be 3 to 5 times higher for
organic/whole foods in a local health food store. It pays to really shop
around.

I googled the brand name of the stuff we bought and this is what they
said about the sprouting:
"We believe in sprouting the grains we use in our breads because
sprouting is the only way to release all of the vital nutrients stored
in whole grains.* To unlock this dormant food energy, maximize
nutrition and flavor, we add just the right amount of water to healthy
whole organically grown grains which are already bursting with
nutrients. Beneficial enzymes are activated which cause the grains to
sprout and become a living food.
<company name> breads, made from sprouted grains, are richer in
protein and vitamins than bread baked from dry grains ground into
flour.
Our exclusive sprouting process not only significantly increases
valuable nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, B-vitamins, calcium,
iron, magnesium and potassium but also causes a natural change that
makes the protein and carbohydrates easier for the body to use. In
fact, sprouts are lower in carbohydrates and calories than the grains
from which they were sprouted."

This has been our biggest obstacle. Several times we have tried to make
dietary changes and we just couldn't afford it. It costs over twice as much
to but organic for us than to buy crap. I guess I could cook from scratch
more. I'm just not a very good cook (I bake like Betty Crocker though.
Cookies anyone?)

I had many years of this. Kate was vegetarian for quite a while. We tend to
eat a mix of meat and vegetarian dishes anyway, so that helped.
I usually try to make meals that can be put together since we have quite a
variety of tastes here anyway. I just bought vegetarian alternatives to add
to the mix. So when I make spaghetti, I have noodles, sauce, cheese and
meatballs all separate and people combine whatever they want. I just add
veggie meatballs as an option. For things like chili, I don't put meat in
sometimes anyway (the beans provide plenty of protein). If I'm in the mood
for meat, I just put some in another pot without meat or with a meat
alternative. It dirties an extra pot, but it's not any extra work. Chicken
patties, hotdogs, hamburgers all have veggie alternatives of course. Tacos
are easy to do this with. If I'm doing a meal like roast chicken or beef,
then I just make sure there are quick and easy veggie "meats" available to
heat up. Kate would do that herself. I would make sure to do some
vegetarian meals as well since we like that anyway. As long as I have the
alternatives handy, it wasn't' much extra work. It is pricier though.

"And from what I've tasted I'd rather forego cheese entirely than use
any of the alternates I've tried (made from various combinations of
non-dairy stuff)"
I really don't care if a cow cheese is officially vegetarian or
not....I'm a bad vegetarian I guess. But I don't eat the stuff usually
and it's one place I can cut cost for the non-veg heads. Cow cheese
all tastes the same...veg or not.
The soy/rice stuff...UCK! Can't stand it. Don't see the point at all.:)

Brenna has been vegetarian for about 4 years and I occasionally eat fish but
no red meat. Broc and Logan are both meat eaters and would like it every
day. And cooking is not high on my priortity list of enjoyable activities <g>
What works best for us is to keep the pantry and freezer stocked with simple
things that we can all fix easily. I keep hummus and a variety of cheeses,
yogurt, cottage cheese, and our staple frozen vegetarian burgers. We like
Gardenburger and it allows us each to make a single burger anytime in a few
minutes.
We use the soy burger crumbles in place of most meat for things like chili
and spaghetti. I made lasagne a couple of nights ago and only put meat in
half the sauce so one end of it was vegetarian and everyone was happy. If I
make something like a chicken stew in the crock pot, I just leave the chicken
pieces whole and she and I eat the vegies.
Since we've been in New Mexico, Broc and Logan supplement by getting Blakes
green chili hamburgers a couple of times a week...<g>

What a cool discussion for a vegetarian!
<Anyone else dealing with only ONE veg-head in the family???>
Kevin (my oldest ds) and myself are the only vegetarians in this
family too, although, Kevin will eat seafood but I don't even eat
that anymore. Because everyone feels better on a vegetarian diet I
pretty much only cook vegetarian at home but I do keep frozen
chicken breasts and fish fillets that I can slap on my Foreman
Grill. If I do cook meat, it is the side dish with everything else
being vegetarian. Everyone seems satisfied with the setup, no
complaints anyway.
Kelly, I can give you some great recipes also and e-mail them to you
offlist. I have REALLY simple recipes that I whip up in a few
minutes. I have had big-time meat eaters switch to my version of
things because they like it better. If all you do is substitute the
Morningstar Crumbles for the meat you probably won't even know the
difference and then everyone is happy. I also keep quick, simple
snacks around like hummus and crackers and things of that nature.
My bulk of groceries is fruits and vegetables.

I'd also highly recommend the Moosewood cookbooks. I'm not a vegetarian,
but I started using the Moosewood low-fat cookbook when we had my
brother-in-law with us, and kept using it because the recipes were all so
darned good.

Yes, in the 30's and 40's she ate more non-processed foods, not

canned her own
vegetables and fruit, and honestly... I'd be afraid sometimes. She

My mom died in her 70's though she smoke and drank and hardly ever
ate
anything that didn't come out of a can in those later years.
Her parents had a little farm and ate okra, green beans and tomatoes
that
they grew themselves, but the okra was always rolled in cornmeal
batter and
fried, and for breakfast EVERY day they had homemade biscuits,
sausage and eggs.
She smoked, he dipped snuff, they got old.

It's a cheap and easy way for parents to condemn foods and make their kids
feel, well... like crap.
Let's try not to here, please.
Thanks.

Might have to get some SPAM in the near future just so we can have
Spam and eggs while watching Monty Python which DS has taken an
interest in lately. A lot of the strictly British humor has gone
flying past but much of the visual humor tickles his funny bone. Had
to explain what a blancmange was for him - even tracked down a recipe
so we can try to make it sometime. I can be pretty sure that when we
get to the Spam sketch (we've been watching the video collection plus
DH and DS will often tune in during the day when BBC America
broadcasts episodes). Last night we mentioned to MIL that DS likes
Monty Python and he stuck out his arms and zoomed by saying "Flying
Circus"...then he came back around and asked how a circus could fly.
This is so much FUN!

Not only that, but there is a SPAM book my daughter picked up for free at a
book exchange. I was surprised she wanted it, because she's a vegetarian,
but she really enjoyed reading it!

In this part of the UK people used to eat Spam fritters. I would bet
that some people still do. That's Spam coated in batter and fried!

Okay, so maybe you can help me...
Every time I see a commercial for that show or even the word "Unwrapped" I
have a VERY Strong craving for a Twinkie! I think it was the Twinkie episode
I saw years ago.
Anyone else?

A Twinkie is a yellow sponge cake filled with cream
(http://www.twinkies.com/ ). Its kind of like a cadbury miniroll
(although for the Americans among us that's really a Hostess Ho-Ho).
I don't think there is a British equivalent.
