vegetaianism and conversion?

This is great, for you. But not for everyone.

And being Catholic, we can be vegan, vegetarian or as a friend of my says, a meatetarian. It is wonderful to be Catholic, we are so diverse yet we all have common ground. I love it.

Exactly maryik - blessings!

why, why why?

Because the choice to not eat meat - for many of us here at CAF - isn’t about how food taste - but because of the many reasons shared here, resources, the environment, ‘the gentler side’, — if one makes this choice for these reasons, I believe, it makes the food taste even more wonderful.

There are today so many options for ‘fake meat’ for those who still want to replace what they were eating before - veggie burgers, I make a loaf out of bean, wheat gluten and tofu that we use as anyone would use sliced turkey - I make tempeh and serve it barbecued and we enjoy that - it took some time to come up with recipes once we made this switch, but it was a commitment not made because of how food taste - but all the reasons that we have shared. But all the whole foods, veggies, fruit, nuts, beans - delish for everyone!

I eat food for the taste! Life is too short to eat icky food! So since I like meat, I will eat meat. Real meat.

mmmm - scrambled tofu!

Eewwwww. Scrambled eggs for me. Real eggs. Tofu is soy - not good. Not tasty.

This is great, for you. But not for everyone.

Exactly! I don’t care if someone is vegan, vegetarian, etc. Just let me eat my meat! Eggs. Yogurt. Cheese. Honey. Etc.

And milk.

Oh, and cream.

And Jello.

And Jello.

And real cream butter. And half and half.

And I like my wool scarf and mittens, and my leather gloves and shoes.

I am horrified at this photo of the cat on a cross! BARBARIC!! I can only hope they didn’t kill the poor animal!!! This is ignorant cruelty. I hate it and I don’t have to be reminded of how cruel people can be to innocent animals. This is offensive! I’m reporting the post and unsubscribing to this thread. Horrifying to say the least. If it was your intention to shock and horrify, you have succeeded. I have zero tolerance for animal cruelty. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY and any depiction of it!!!
