I tried being vegen once, lasted about 12 hours. Can you imagine going through the drive up at Taco Johns ordering a broccoli and cauliflower hardshell?. Can i help you?, ya, ill take a large coke and an asparagus wrap...mmmmm .

I saw the title and immediately thought of Louis  I wonder how long he would last as a vegan...

Funny, I could see Louis tossing a few vegans on the barbie.

To be serious i like many veggies grilled with a little olive oil on them, eggplant, tomato, grilled corn (husk 0n), large hunk onion grilled is outrageous, green top onion, bell pepper, etc, its almost endless. As far as im concerned the less meat you eat the better off you are, at least the non organic meat. Beans and corn combine to make a complete protein supplied by meat. Ive read a great deal about the pitfalls of over meat consumption. NEVER, EVER, consume fast food meat sources if you are concerned of overall health. My favorite health advocate?, Gary Null. Ive just started reading entitled the Perricone Prescription, very interesting book.

I'm not much of a fan of eating plain veggies, though I do enjoy adding them into other things I cook. I have recently come to submit to the eggplant. We grew them in our garden in New Jersey, but I don't remember eating them as a kid. Man those things are sooooo good. My wife and I tried a different resteraunt a couple of weeks ago and both had the Eggplant Mandeville- two breaded and fried slices of eggplant gently laid to rest over a heaping pile of angel hair pasta swimming in a shrimp alfredo sauce. Mmmm..... (drooling smiley).

Aside from eggplant, my favorites are vidalia onions and red potatoes.

I don't think I can give up meat, let alone seafood. I don't eat red meat though, aside from the occasional deer sausage.

I think you can over do anything. I like a little of everything .

Now you have me thinking!  Can a vegetarian eat animal crackers?
