poached, even.
Plus, you need a -really- small frying pan to fry them in.
Am I the only person who thinks that the OP was a sarcastic dig at Trolls?
Uh. I don’t think that is a very good cite. This fellow does not have it together.
Why is it so difficult for some people to just admit that they enjoy enemas?
You’re not kidding. Here’s a gem:
What the almighty fuck are dead foods? I mean really. Fine, be a vegan, if you must, but for Og’s sake, don’t be a fruitcake too.
Hrm. Maybe everything that’s not yoghurt?
You know, just because someone is in the food service industry doesn’t mean they know the specifics to everyones fucked up diet.
Next time maybe they should just give you a nice box of dirt to eat.
Oh, wait…that might have worm shit in it. Is worm shit an animal product?
I have read through all 4 pages of this thing. I’m shocked that nobody has commented on this-
It was a good week, and this was a marvellous capping stone. I visited a friend I hadn’t seen in a few months, saw Xanadu at a free outdoor showing, bought some Micronauts, took a looong walk through downtown Philly by night, and now this.
It does leave me with two questions though-
Should I make it my new sig line?
and, of course
How you doin?
Hey, Mama Tiger, if your cow-orker’s Scary Green Stuff[sup]TM[/sup] looked substantially like this, then Spirulina is likely what it was.
EEEeeeewww!
Nothing that color should -ever- be eaten on purpose.
Eeew! It looks like melted turds!
ummmm. . . I’m so happy I could enhance your experience of the SDMB today.
I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years. I feel that makes me quite qualified to say that to most people “vegetarian” means “no meat” and that’s all. They most certainly do NOT assume it means “no animal products” --you’re just flat out 100% wrong in saying that they do.
Vegetarian meal = one with no pieces of animals in it.
Vegan meal = one with no animal-related things in it.
Ask for a vegan meal if that is what you want! By all means, world, do not listen to this person and start making all vegetarian things vegan by default! Some of us LIKE our cheese, etc., thank you very much!
I run the vegetarian community on LiveJournal and also the website www.vegetarianstuff.com and I speak from a position of experience when I say that people like you DRIVE THE REST OF US VEGETARIANS CRAZY!!! You make people hate vegetarians. You make our lives much more difficult.
PLEASE OBTAIN A CLUE and carry it with you at all times.
Do most airlines do this? Have lacto-ovo meals available, I mean? I’ll have to remember to ask next time I fly… I always assumed that since the vegetarian meal is the most bland and lame vegan fare imaginable that they only had the one vegetarian option.
This just made me giggle because the term “cheese-loving” just seems like it’s meant to be a euphamistic explative. 
Just for the sake of clarity: only some cheese has rennet. It varies by type of cheese and by brand.
(Cabot extra sharp cheddar has no rennet! And it’s also the Most Perfect Substance On Earth!)
…man… now I want some Cabot extra sharp cheddar…
–Opal, cheese-loving vegetarian
Because the vast majority of vegetarians DO eat cheese and most eat eggs as well*. And most LIKE them. If you were to poll 100 vegetarians about which sandwich they would prefer, one with cheese and mayo or one without, the one with cheese and mayo would win, I guarantee it. So, from a business perspective, you’d make more of your vegetarian customers happy with the cheese and mayo sammich. It’s not unreasonable to expect the vegan folk to order a more specific sandwich.
*I’m not just pulling this out of my ass either (here, smell it, you’ll see!) I’ve run polls in my vegetarian communities and lacto-ovo comes out waaaay on top.
Not to mention the fact that there’s a lot more vegetarians in the world than vegans. They’re just more common. And I’m speaking as a vegan here. And any vegan who has an ounce of common sense (insert all vegans being loony joke here) know to specify “no dairy products” in their meals. I usually just say I’m lactose intolerant in order to avoid yet another debate or lengthy explanation of my dietary choices that the majority of meat eaters feel entitled to.
For the record, you don’t just have to do a detox to cleanse the bowels. As it happens, I, for one, have never been convinced by that whole nasty-bowel argument anyway.
The fact is that over the course of an average day, people put an astonishing amount of crap into their body. Surely noone really argues with the idea that “you are what you eat”? The human body never evolved to deal with the kind of chemicals over the kind of sustained time period that we throw at it these days. Maybe, coincidentally, it can deal with it. I don’t know. But it seems to me that the default hypothesis is that it cannot, at least very well.
Check out any system when you begin to throw pollutants into the mix. The pollutants begin to build up. After a while, they cause a problem. Why should the human body be any different.
Therefore every three months or so, the kabbess and I spend 2-3 months eating, basically, nothing except for fresh, organic vegetables and fruit (plus a few other things, like pulses and tinned tomatoes. I’m not giving a comprehensive list). I generally find that after a couple of weeks, my cravings for junk food crap disappears and I actively start to want to eat fruit as a snack, for example. At that point you’re generally eating at least 5-10 pieces of fruit a day.
The whole thing, obviously, should be combined with a decent exercise regime (although I try to follow this anyway)/
Either way, you certainly lose weight, become more toned and just feel much better. It’s astonishing, for example, how much more energy you have. I always know its detox time when I get to the point that I’m just tired all the time.
Now to focus on some of the loonier explanations as to why one might detox and just discredit that (or claim that there is no proof) is really to miss the point. The basic concept – that stuffing your bodies with chemicals that it never evolved to deal with is not a good thing – is eminently reasonable. I generally find that those who seek to rubbish the whole idea are just those who can’t cope with the cognitive dissonance that surely if it were a good idea then they would be doing it too? Well face it – just because the idea might seem too hard for you to do, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have merit.

This concept is clearly flawed beyond any salvaging.
Succesful research in Scotland has clearly shown that a diet high in processed meats, saturated fats and artificial additives is the only way to guarantee a massive, fatal heart attack by your mid forties.
The diet you propose kabbes is likely to lead to a life span well past this, and perhaps into your 70’s or even 80’s. This leaves you completely open to such long term fears as smelling of cabbage, having to save money in a pension rather than blowing it all on toys now, and being ridiculed by people much younger than you.
Is this really the fate you desire? Please kabbes, I beg you, reconsider and have a bacon sarnie.
No, they shouldn’t.
Case closed.
