All I know is that being vegan increases the amount of time you spend talking about being vegan by an infinite amount, and increases the chances of your friends punching you in the face and moving on. change "vegan" to "crossfit" and it slips in perfectly... and heaven forbid if they do crossfit and are vegan... No no no silly...crossfitters are paleo

Why would one be gluten-free if it was not due to a medical condition?

She saw her mom shaping hamburger patties a couple years ago and hasn't eaten meat since. it amazes me that something as insignificant as this can disgust someone to the point of changing their diet. Obviously, she never had to kill her own meal growing up. Americans are so disconnected from our food sources that it makes me fear for our survival.

My daughter went vegetarian for about a year after her FFA calf was killed by a tree falling on him after a storm, she was bout 13. She found him in the field and said she could tell he struggled. I believe bacon was what brought her back.

Why would one be gluten-free if it was not due to a medical condition? because some people must follow the latest trend, regardless of why or what it means (see "baggy/saggy pants" as an example)

I helped butcher chickens when I was a pre-teen. I didn't go full one vegetarian but it took me a long, long, long time to even think about eating chicken again.

Americans are so disconnected from our food sources that it makes me fear for our survival. This reminded me of my husband's aunt... She was responding to something having to do with Cecil the lion and said: "So few of us are truly hungry to the point of killing for nourishment to survive." Because apparently when you order from a fancy restaurant the food magically appears and there are no dead animals involved in your filet mignon... *eye roll*

Years ago, two nieces spent the night with us. They said they wanted mashed potatoes for dinner. When my wife got out some potatoes and started peeling them, they wanted to know what she was doing. They had never seen mashed potatoes that weren't poured out of a box.

well, if you frequent McDonald's, that would be a correct statement...

They had never seen mashed potatoes that weren't poured out of a box. no offense to Mrs. Hurt Brains, whom i assume is a wonderful cook, but I prefer instant over home made mashed taters...my family thinks i'm weird, but indulges this folly when mashed taters are served...they make home made for everyone else, and I get my own little serving of instant...

cool whip is worse than Reddi Wip which is an abomination.

"Instant mashed potatoes are an abomination in the same way Cool Whip and Miracle Whip are abominations and crimes against nature."
I can do instant mashed potatoes and really enjoy them, all while acknowledging that they are a different dish than the real thing.
I have no patience with Cool Whip, Miracle Whip, or any sort of margarine or spreads. Same goes for sugar substitutes. I'd rather do without completely than to eat any of this stuff.
There's too much perfectly good whipped cream, mayonnaise, unsalted butter, and cane sugar in the world and life is already too short to have to eat fake or substitute food.
There are so many wonderful meat dishes in the world that I'm not afflicting myself with any sort of diet that doesn't include meats.
Moderation in all things ... says the compliance officer who is munching Ghiradelli 60% dark chocolate squares, provided by his good wife, as he types this.

http://www.thealternativedaily.com/a-health-nightmare-nothing-cool-about-cool-whip/No health nut here, I'm less concerned about the ingredients than I am the comparatively wretched taste when compared with yummy whipped cream as has always been served up by Mrs. noelekal, and my mother, aunts, and grandmothers before her. I'd have to just throw my slice of holiday pumpkin pie out in abject disappointment if it was adulterated with Cool Whip.

A scoop of frozen Cool Whip in hot chocolate is amazing. Well, not today, it's like 90 degrees out there.

As far as the mayonaise miracle whip debate goes it depends what I'm putting it on. Bacon sandwich miracle whip, ham and cheese mayonaise, balogna(I know)miracle whip etc.

I only use miracle-whip on deviled ham sandwiches...not sure that is real meat, so why use real mayo? otherwise, I eat no mayo, and nothing with mayo in it...

Hah! Can't stand Miracle Whip but love deviled ham and other canned "mystery meats."
There's just no accounting for tastes.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line

we only use Duke's Mayo at my house.... been thinking about learning to make my own... Cool whip only when I don't have time to make the real thing. I don't like instant mashed potatoes. I CAN tell the difference in taste and only like the real thing...

There is certainly a difference the taste of instant mashed potatoes and the mashed potatoes "Mother used to make." I just happen to like instant mashed potatoes as well. Don't get them but once in a blue moon because my wife prefers the genuine article.
