My Mom stopped eating meat when she was diagnosed with tummy issues that made meat consumption a very windy affair. I was a vegetarian for many years but not any more.Everyone has their reasons for what they eat and why they eat it. Food is something to be celebrated, recipes shared, stories of great meals told over too much wine, or grape juice for the non drinkers. ;0) It is nothing to fight over or say hurtful things to each other about. I am not accusing anyone of this, just my 2 cents. Embrace your fellow foodies, be they herbivores, omnivores or carnivores. It's like we all love the same person that is just wearing different outfits.

Our recently purchased jar of market Pantry Peanut Butter has the warning. "contains Peanut"
My husband and I both said "Only 1?!"

Nothing is yummier than a nice cup of Indian Spice tea from Subzi Mandi grocery with a spoonful of condensed milk stirred in. Hot, spicy, creamy..it is heaven in a mug.
Hubby also likes it spread on bread with preserves..or eaten right off the spoon.

My sister is in the cult of " but the tv/ ad in Family Circle told me to eat it" She shovels down Activia, believes HFCS is fine and swears by her ACAI berry smoothies. Meanwhile my nephews constantly have the scoots from only eating french fries and non- juice containing juice drinks. She is still chubby and can't poop. Forgive me..but ha-ha!
All these fads make me laugh. When asked if I eat shredded wheat for the fiber I simply say no, I eat it because it tastes good. And you can add 5 bushels of fiber to a pop tart but to me they still taste like sugar frosted dog biscuits.
Is the artificial sweetener in my diet soda is going to give me brain rot, the nitrates in my bacon make me glow in the dark? I have no idea.none of us really do.
