What Do Vegetarians Eat?
What do vegetarians eat if they don't eat meat? Before we go into what vegetarians eat... Consider the environment in which vegetarians make their decisions concerning the food they eat. The have soberly removed all animal flesh from the house includes the frozen pieces of dead carcass in the freezer. Why? Because that is not what vegetarians eat. Some of our sources reveal that you may be miss-informed. The greatest thinkers, innovators and generally very nice people - have chosen information that leads to a diet that excludes meat.
Why did they do that? Or should I say why did I do that? Many great leaders and saints in sport, philosophy, entertainment, science and business have committed to a meatless diet - and have also recommend others stop consuming dead carcass. We're going to listen to these leaders and saints because they have the authority to dispel the myth removing meat from the home is hard work. Now these people existed in all ages and all cultures so therefore the foods vegetarians eat transcend both time and cultural boundaries. Meatless recipes are found everywhere.
As you now know the first step every vegetarian must take; remove meat and other meat products from the fridge and or other flesh Bi-products, tins and cans out of the kitchen. This meat stuff is a recipe for disaster - both karmic and digestive. What happened to the Atkins Diet? Colon Cancer! Once out of the kitchen where should the meat and associated bi-products be placed? It's up to you although there are only 3 choices:
1. eat it
2. feed it to carnivorous animals
3. give it to the poor
4. feed it to a "friend"
Keep in mind - 1 and 2 are best achieved by thawing out what's left in the freezer. Now don't get creative with options 3 and 4 - just get rid of the decaying flesh. Vegetarians eat foods that end in triumph rather than disaster. Meat and crude oil are similar - plastic manufactured from Crude Oil has made it's way into almost everything we touch - right now we are oil dependent and most of us can do little or nothing about it. Anyone of us can open a fridge and remove a dead chicken or a chopped up baby lamb.
Filling the pantry and refrigerator with the ingredients is about shopping. Who doesn't like shopping? List all of the things vegetarians eat to maintain a balanced diet. How do we start this stop in the right direction? Commence your journey at the steps of the food pyramid. Just change the meat, fish and poultry part into vegetable proteins as that is the main source of proteins and absorbable amino acids that vegetarians eat. There's an abundance of these things available in dairy products, legumes, nuts. Add to this vegetables, cereals, fruits, and oils.
Now just think culture and you'll get an immediate idea of the variety of foods that vegetarians eat. Vegetarians have existed in all ages, islands and countries. There is a vast variety of recipes available from many cultures spread out over thousands of years, providing an unlimited combination of flavors. All these continental ingredients are available in supermarkets and specialty stores. The ridiculous idea that vegetarianism is a boring, flavorless and unhealthy has been set-up by financial concerns who make great profit from the mass slaughter of baby sheep (lambs), both male and female cows, little chickens and the big chickens. Unbeknownst to the chicken, the food in his trough is his minced daughter.
The ridiculous idea that vegetarianism is a boring, flavourless and unhealthy exercise is ridiculous - Just ask Albert Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison, Sir Isaac Newton, Plato, Leonardo Da Vinci, Henri Ford, The Beatles, Seinfeld or Matt Groening - because these great thinkers agree with us.
David Sheil has spent years researching spice cooking while investigating cultures who live without consuming meat.
