More About Me
Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:
I prefer to eat vegetarian because plant-based foods taste more natural and delicious, and yummy to my tummy. I also prefer the smell of fresh produce. Can't stand the smell of flesh meat raw or cooked... eek! But really, I feel that eating vegetarian is better for the planet, the animals, and for my body. Eating vegetarian makes me feel light yet grounded. Positive vibrations!
I joined HappyCow Members Community because:
I am interested in chatting with other members and see what people think and feel about life and all that good stuff. I am happy to join a community with others who also choose the vegetarian path (or on the way). To me, this is a very special common ground. Yeah.
Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:
I'VE BEEN TO: Mexico City, parts of USA, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Beijing & Shanghai & Tianjing China, Narita Japan, Tahiti/Moorea, Guam/Rota, Micronesia, Maui & Kauai. I LIKE somethings about each place... enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city with its cafes, delicacies, people, and culture. Enjoy the tropical islands for the fresh air, clean water, exotic fruits, and snorkeling.
I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT: everywhere if possible, starting with Peru, Italy, more of Japan, somewhere in Africa, Alaska, Canada, EUROPE, and work my way from there.
Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:
Homemade salads from fresh farmers market produce... A really good Thai green curry with warm brown rice... Virgin coconut oil on whole grain toast... Homestyle Taiwanese cuisine... Brown rice avocado sushi rolls... and all kinds of snacks... NO MSG please.
Here are some books, movies, magazines, and my favorites that I would recommend to other HappyCow members:
RECOMMEND MOVIES: Cave of the Yellow Dog (about nomad life in Mongolia)***Into the Wild(living freely under the sky)***God Grew Tired of Us (about the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who survived)*** Emmanuel's Gift (inspiring documentary on disabled persons advocate from Ghana)***Water (about widows in old days India)***Harold and Maude (70s American)***Who Killed the Electric Car? (documentary about automobile industry).
RECOMMEND BOOKS: Fast Food Nation***A People's History of the United States (by Howard Zinn).

Love Masala Dosas!
We eat at a vegetarian south Indian resatuarant called Udupi Bhavan here in Connecticut every Saaturday evening; it's become a tradition. They don't use ghee, something to be wary of when eating out at Indian restaurants. We even go to Indian groceries and stock up on frozen entrees (Udupi brand) that, we were surprised to discover, are of restaurant quality. It's just so difficult to mimic the Indian flavors by ourselves. Yum! I'm getting hungry. |

My Second Attempt At A Response to Chia
I responded to you way, way back when you first contacted me. But I'm not sure if my response ever reached you successfully. You had asked me about vegan supplements. I take a liquid Multi-Vitamin With Joint Support from Effective Natural Products out of California that uses glucosamine derived from corn, NOT shellfish. I am a letter carrier and I walk about eight miles each day, so my joints are very important to me. I also take a saw palmetto -- for my prostate -- called Prost-Mate with Maitake, in the form of vegetable tablets, by Grifron out of New Jersey. During the winter months, I take Ester-C brand vitamin C. My wife and I eat at many veggie restaurants. You can check out my profile and view my list of restaurant faves and reviews. |
