Well, if they're anything like my mom, the difference is that her dogs are "hers". Yeah, she says they're her "babies", but she still treats/views them as property that's she's invested too much in...

Don't forget about grits! Haven't seen them elsewhere, though polenta comes close. I guess most corn things are pretty much American in origin. But then, again, it is regional and not really...

* Take better care of yourself because you can't count on anyone else to.
* Stop caring so much about what Mom -- and everyone else -- says.
* It'll get worse before it gets better, but you will...

I don't know that I'd say it's "naturally" present in soy sauce as I've never seen a bottle of Kikoman growing, but then I guess we could have a whole thread on what is "natural".

As far as I...

No, I generally don't like the really preservative-filled stuff. I can taste it, too. There's a bitter saltiness to it -- though part of that could just be all the extra salt. I don't even like most...

I can't imagine it being any harder than being any other sort of vegan. I've actually heard that it's easier to go vegan in Israel than in the U.S. In fact, we used to have an Israeli place here that...

I had kale chips today :D I prefer mine really simple, just a minimal amount of canola oil and no extra salt or seasoning except what's in whatever dipping sauce a I use. And usually I just squirt...

Sounds sort of like my family and my mom in particular. She's very insistent that her guests should eat lots of food and fill guilt you into it talking about all the food that will go...

Yes, humans are omnivores, but that means we CAN eat a lot of things, not that we SHOULD or DO eat everything that we can.

For example, we certainly CAN eat human flesh -- and it's even been...

I already do this :D

I love having a smart phone so I can look up ingredients in the store. I try to stay away from long lists of ingredients and artificial ingredients in general, but there are...

Well, I guess I already answered this over at:

answering why omnivores don't become vegan or become vegan sooner.

But long...

Well, frankly, some people don't have a problem killing animals or even subjecting them to horrific conditions. They either don't care, or don't think it's a big enough deal to sacrifice eating...

This has just reminded me of what a lovely time it's going to be the next time we have to eat out with my MIL. She always insists on "American food" -- which by her definition is strictly stuff like...
