I really wanted to eat meat. I never realized also how much things have eggs in it. The only kind of dressing that I could find that doesn't have eggs in it , is Italian Dressing. Also, most desserts have eggs in it. I think oreos don't have any eggs in them. I think its a good thing that I love salad. It would be hard for me if I didn't like it. Although, I like ranch so that kinda sucks. Italian Dressing is alright but I don't prefer it.
I am actually kinda enjoying this. Its hard, but I like a good challenge. =) In the future you can always say now that you were a vegetarian for a little while. Who knows one of us might stay a vegetarian for the rest of our lives. . . maybe. Doing this might make us all healthier, you never know. Below are some facts I found out. . .
Is soy protein a complete protein?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture grades protein quality using a system called the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score (PDCAAS). Soy protein has a PDCAAS score of 1.0, which means it is equivalent to animal protein.
If you follow a vegan diet, you may need to find alternatives for eggs and dairy products. Try these suggestions when meal planning or cooking:
- Milk. Drink fortified soymilk, rice milk or almond milk in place of cow's milk.
- Butter. When sauteing, use olive oil, water, vegetable broth, wine or fat-free cooking spray instead of butter. In baked goods, use canola oil.
- Cheese. Use soy cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, which are available in health food stores.
- Eggs. In baked goods, try commercial egg replacers — a dry product made mostly of potato starch. Or you can use the following to replace one egg: 1/4 cup whipped tofu or 1 tablespoon milled flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. For an egg-free omelet use tofu instead of eggs.

Go to this site and look at the evil vegetarians. >) Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian.
Cool facts, Courtney! I like the link to the "vegetarians are evil" website. Maybe vegetarianism causes psychosis! Or at least an extreme brand of megalomania. If one of us starts plotting to destroy the world or promote a master vegetarian race, we'll have to abort the experiment!
ReplyDeleteLove following your guys project blog... (SIL of Mrs. Loman).
ReplyDeleteIn terms of soy, my son is allergic/intolerant, as well as I am, so we have to stay away from it...but I am glad because all of the estrogen in scares me (google that). Some blame milk for early onset of puberty for girls, but others see that SOY might be the culprit, as it is in nearly every food on the market!
I'd like to add that soy milk and rice milk taste great, but it still doesn't beat whole milk. I've heard about milk being the culprit for early puberty too. I didn't know that anyone was saying soy might be the culprit...I'm going to have to look that up now...
