  1. In the freezer section, you may find some good whole grain vegan breads. Ezekiel, Dave's and several others are vegan. And healthy good.
  2. Most grain goes to feed farmed animals. Cutting down on the huge amount of meat and dairy that Americans consume would help the country's health tremendously. One way to do this is to stop the ridiculous tax subsidies to these meat and dairy farm corporations. The slaughter of half a million perfectly healthy US dairy cows a few years back so that prices could be "stabilised" is a prime example. And the milk in schools. Let the prices reflect the true cost of production. More subsidies to growers of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, pulses ,grains.
  3. 100.4 and above is generally considered a possible infection. Some viruses have low-grade temperatures.
  4. Sounds like mono. But could be a bunch of different things. If she feels as if she's been hit by a truck, it's probably flu.
  5. Not going to the library is not quarantining oneself.
  6. And people who live where lions do judge it as life-saving to kill a lion sometimes. Not on preserves, but near where families live.
  7. Some breads like Ezekial and Dave's have less questionable ingredients (no plastic like in some breads),and have sprouted grains.
  8. He saw some of them for "treatments" in the basement of his home.
  9. McDougall's diet is called the Starch Solution and has reversed heart disease in his patients. It was originally formulated for cardiac patients. Doing it gluten free is not, from my understanding, recommended. We've been vegan for years, and eat very little added oils. When we first went vegan this was not the case. For our fats we use tahini, nuts and but butters, seeds, avocado, etc. Our salad dressings are oil-free.
  10. Does gluten bother your health? It's far easier to do vegan with grains. You're not leaving yourself much to eat if you do McDougall gluten-free. (I'm vegan)
  11. With a baby in the house, I'd have her skip it.
  12. I'm glad that wasn't true in your government and other secretarial positions.
  13. I'm glad you had a good experience.
  14. Well of course every single woman in the '80s was not harassed by every single man! But it was not an uncommon occurrence, not particularly illegal or even frowned upon in society. And there were certainly a lot of female college graduates then, but let's not pretend the power differential between men and women in the workforce was equal. And lets not pretend everyone is or was a lawyer, engineer, doctor. What kind of privilege is that kind of talk coming from? Women that were harassed then and didn't speak up in that atmosphere do not deserve shaming now. Women wore those ridiculous shoulder pads, big hair, and ties in the 80s for a reason, unconscious though it may have been. Like in nature, make yourself look bigger to deter predators.
  15. If it's not itchy and lots of small pink bumps, I'd suspect heat rash.
  16. They don't taste like TVP to me. I squeezed out the moisture of the curls and they weren't spongy, the texture was nice. I do not like the textured vegetable protein, either.
  17. I'm sorry they are being so selfish about this.
  18. Dogs help, as they are the best at cleaning up kid floor meal mess. :) And I agree with the rug under the table, I would do an easily washable one.
  19. Oh thanks! I'll check out Jill McKeever on YouTube. :)
  20. Do you not remember how workplaces were back then? No female managers, women only typing and getting coffee for men, men with offices with closed doors who called their secretaries in for dictation? And what jobs were available freely to women (with rare exceptions). Teacher nurse secretary homemaker housecleaner. So it's not like we could say Oh I'll just switch jobs or careers. Sorry to sound so angry, but I am. Not only did women have to put up with this behavior back then, even now it's Why Didn't You Do Anything? How about shaming the men who looked the other way?
  21. Also, if they don't complain, the gardein brand veg 'meats' and the 'Almost Meat' brands are very good tasting. Almost Meat burgers are fantastic on the grill.
  22. Oh that's too hard. For a Mexican meal with a mixed vegan/omnivore family, it can be easier than that. Cook and spice the meat first, chop the veggies while it's cooking. Then you can make the tacos the same way, using refried beans or whatever you like in yours and the meat in theirs, and then the rice and toppings can be the same, you just don't use the cheese and/or sour cream. I lazily just nuke a canned refried beans in the microwave, so just a bowl there. Or you can use the same pan you cooked the meat in, just put the meat in an easy to wash container. I'm not explaining this well Lol. Here's a website you might find helpful. It's vegetarian rather than vegan, but just omit the cheese or skip those recipes. :) https://www.kitchentreaty.com/43-recipes-for-vegetarians-and-omnivores-eating-together/ Ooh, here's one I hadn't seen, has vegan/omnivore recipes http://stuffedveggies.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-month-of-meals-for-omnivore-vegan.html?m=1
