Vegetarianism

[Catherine]

I think we are all trying to find a balance here. There is a wide range from totally vegan to eating meat free some days. I think it is good that we are not so dependant on meat. For a while there, meat was all we ate. Now we are eating more fruits and vegetables. We are recognizing that whole grains are good for us.

I think it is important that we think about what we eat and choose well. I eat meat some of the time, but I am wanting to have a more meatless diet. It is part of my choosing to eat better. It wouldn't be good if I gave up meat and lived on vegetarian junk food(I assume there is such a thing) I also need to eat less salt and sugar or at least I need to control the amount I eat.

I would love shopping at your market. If you can get raw cashews I would love it. They are the ultimate snack food.

Do you not like pumpkin or do you just not eat it. It is a bit of work to prepare, but I makes good soup and better pie. Pumpkin muffins and cake are good too. Next to squash it is my favourite vegetable. Spinach is my favourite green vegetable. The guinea pigs have taught me to love veggies.
