Hi,

I have been born Vegetarian (please note not Vegan) – when I say born vegetarian born in a Hindu family animal products of any kind (with the exception of cow milk) was not used in any kind of a cooking. However as a note to all the friends was that I have discovered among friends and relatives (my father-in-law passed away about 4 years ago) heart ailments and other related ailments due to high fat consumption, one reason in particular is clarified butter or what is famously called “ghee”.

On the alternate my father who is 79 years old and my grandmother 91 years old did not consume ghee like others and have a very low cholesterol level and are fairly healthy and are doing well. They also constantly consumed vegetables that were grown in our own garden, luckily we were able to afford to have a garden of our won.

I and my family wife and daughter follow our regimen of vegetarianism and of course I consume buttermilk made out of home made yogurt (which I really like) but avoid any other animal products including cheese.

I apologize for ranting but the point here is to totally agree with the merits of Vegitarianism and Vegan dieting as a good clean and healthy way of living and also make our planet and food sources sustainable.

In Indian cooking, there are many vegetarian dishes that are very mild (please dont think of curry) and can be modified slightly to your tastes and we will be willing to share them. We are also going to try the dishes (all of them sound yummy!!!) that has been mentioned here.

Keep up the good work and I believe we should ignore the rantings of the so-called “carnivores”.

Thanks

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

Hi Leslie,
Welcome to the fold, and good luck on your vegan journey.
Jane has the book on reserve at the library. I think we’ll get it this weekend.

Hi Lane – you’re right – I don’t think either were looking for enlightenment when they wandered through with their abrasiveness. Thanks for letting me off the “reactionary” hook on this one.

Now, I hope everyone today has a fine time grilling their portabellos and other yummy veggies – It was a fine article – and good of you to post.

Hi Bea,
I wouldn’t worry about it. There are a few people out there who seem to feel very threatened by the mere mention of the word vegan.

I believe ignorance and intolerance are two the largest societal issues. If we could all be considerate of the beings around us… (getting off soapbox now).

As for your reaction to Joe and Charles – 1) I wouldn’t classify it as “crude” – and – 2) I’m sure neither of them will bother returning for a real dialog around their issues anyway.

I think I should appologize – my response of “poetic justice” may have been inappropriate enough to put Joe and Charles on the defensive. I didn’t intend to re-act so crudely myself except the “Screw You” comment needed an equally crass reply.

Lane, thanks for directing them to Livestock’s Long Shadow to support my response on “un-sustainable animal agriculture.
