Hospital Promoting Vegan Diet - In Texas!!!

[Debby]

I agree with you Kitties and if anyone would call you rude in a reputation comment then shame on them. I remember you telling your story and can feel your pain, although I'm not a vegan. I would link to an old thread here but I don't want to take this thread off topic any further or stir up any negativity for you. Please don't isolate yourself there are kind people in this world regardless of their dietary preferences.


I've been reading here for a long time and respectfully have to say that you and a couple of other people can paint all those who choose to eat meat with a broad brush. Very condescending just in this thread to allege that someone was so ill informed that they could only think of tofu as an example of veganism, I think that might just be an example of the attitude displayed all too often


Can't agree more Kitties.

Hmmm, as the person who commented only mentioned tofu, I responded as I did. If he'd mentioned lettuce, I'd have remarked about the lettuce and vegan diets. For example, people never declare that they couldn't live on a diet of butternut squash lentil soup or Indian curried mashed potatoes with green peas..... they usually mention foods that are stereotypically ascribed to a vegan diet, like....tofu and lettuce, etc. You know, bland, boring stuff and like it's the only thing that we eat.

Also, Eric did say vegan cooking is worse than 'hospital food' (and then mentioned tofu). And my comment ended with a smiley which I had hoped would indicate that I was responding with amusement. So really, it wasn't me 'alleging' anything about anybody's intellectual prowess or attitude. It was simply picking up what he put down.

In truth, considering how deeply I feel about the suffering of animals all over the world as well as in the barns and sheds of North America and Europe, and speaking only for myself here, I think that I've been pretty restrained. But perhaps the message you're trying to get across here is that you want us to censor our speech?

So far, I'm feeling like I can talk about anything that isn't politics or politicians in America, foreign affairs, guns and now a vegan diet. Anything else for the list? Maybe we should ask the moderators to delete this thread?
