People keep surprising me when saying that they’re also vegetarian– they only eat fish or chicken. Mmm…maybe omnivore should be one of the SAT words. Though maybe they’re familiar with both of these words, but feel strongly about vegetarianism to the point of restraining their eating habits to one or two types of animals that are quiet remote from us. Maybe by titling themselves as vegetarians they will eventually be vegetarian. It’s up to us, though, to educate the people and let them know what is the meaning and the value of vegetarianism.

I went to a store demo once in a Williams-Sonoma where their “vegetarian” cooking demo began with the removal of a chicken carcass from the broth and an explanation to the crowd not to worry with their guests b/c “vegetarian” means many things…. the management at that location was highly unresponsive to a complaint.

Not only unprofessional, but her teaching a class is a good way to spread bad information. I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years and am still finding out about things I didn’t realize weren’t veg… but, then again, I don’t teach a class about it. If I did, I’d at least do a little research first!

It is unprofessional on her part not to research the subject she’s planning to teach on further.
But something as inconspicuous as Worcestershire sauce…?

Living in New York City, I do have a choice of several vegan restaurants, and avoid eating prepared food (anything beyond a salad, in which one can identify the elements) anywhere else. Going to ethnic restaurants, which can seem appealing, is always dicey because the staff isn’t likely to have a good command of the English terms relative to our diet.
