Not that everyone else doesn't have to as well, but vegetarians (and vegans) have to be extra careful to eat foods (or take supplements) that replace the nutrients our bodies need that we usually get from different meats. Eating "healthy" isn't just about shoving a bunch of veggies down your throat for each meal, it's about balance. You can eat things that are considered 'bad' (sweet, fatty, etc.) and still eat healthy, it's just that you have to eat them in moderation. Just a thought. :p Personally, I'm trying. *grins* I've been learning to cook more interesting things so that I eat at home more, but we still get the occasional McDonald's, Wendy's, Subway, etc.. I try to drink more water than anything else, which is working rather well, though we do get soda sometimes, and I love milk. I'm learning to like things without a lot of dressing, sauce, stuff like that. Sometimes it's the gravy that gets you. >P But yeah, for the most part I'm trying to eat more 'whole foods,' where I know what I'm putting into my food, because they're ingredients I've bought myself, and then made them into food I can eat. I do still buy chocolate, though. ^-~ ____________________ o.O |



















I wasn't really picky to begin with, but especially now, after three years of on-campus living, I think I literally could eat *anything* that's edible. The only exceptions being freezer-burnt foods, and undercooked beef that's been sitting out too long or refridgerated (since it picks up a *disgusting* bacteria taste that I absolutely cannot tolerate).
