FOr a class project, I'm not eating meat from tomorrow until thanksgiving. Any suggestions on what to eat. I'm thinking I have to eat milk and eggs just to get protein, but otherwise, no fish, chicken, pork, cow or spam.

I'm pretty sure it will be a week of pop-corn, easy mac, corn, carrots, apples and rice-a-roni.

Pasta.

grilled cheese, pizza, pasta

You're a strong man. I'd be dead within 3 or 4 days.

Well, I haven't started yet.

Boca Veggie Italian Sausages. I eat them all the time.

Jones' is making those Turkey and Gravy Sodas. That might help you out......

It's what they dont dare put in hotdogs

Just out of curiousity, what class is this project for?

environmental ethics. Basically, I needed a philosophy class and i heard this one was easy... it is.

Enviromental Ethics = PETA propaganda bullshit?

Eat Chinese. Rice and tofu, baby....

3 or 4 days?? 1, maybe 2 for me.

Puhlease. I'm a liberal, but this is taking the vegetarian thing just a bit too far.

On the bright side, Environmental Ethics professors taste like chicken, or so I'm told.

Don't know about that, but today in church, I did learn that the half-life of SPAM is two billion years.

How did you learn THAT in church?

You should try stuff from Morningstar Farms. In particular try the Buffalo Wings. You would swear that it is real chicken meat - but its not - really a wonder of science.

Don't tell me Furman has gotten this wacky since I graduated. I may have to cancel my latest donation check. Let them do without my $10, dammit!

Their Grillers (veggie hamburgers) and Chik-Patties are also fantastic.

eh, it shouldn't be too bad... but I just got a craving for a bologna sandwich. Hell of a week to give up meat, I'll probably be up every night around this time writing papers.

I think I'm just going to use this as an opportunity to try and learn to eat the fruits and veggies that I despise so much.

I can honestly say I've never eaten a salad in my entire life. And I'm not really complaining about the project. Our only grades in the class is this and 4 3-page papers. Quite possibly the easiest class I've ever had in my life... I haven't even opened any of the books for it.

And shaw, give a little more than $10 and we can buy a decent football coach.

Agreed. This stuff really is good. Actually, I eat the breakfast meats they have so much, that the real stuff tastes funny to me now.

so what are they trying to teach you by doing this project, Easy?

Some rather funny comments I've heard over the years about SPAM.

In World War II, GI's often referred to SPAM as ham that had failed inspection.

My favorite one though was what soldiers in the Red Army called it (we shipped millions of tins of the stuff to the Soviet Union. They called SPAM the "Second Front."

There's meat in it, I suppose, in the same way that ketchup is a vegetable according to the revised Reagan era school lunch program.

Truly? If so, I find that rather remarkable. Do you eat veggies regularly? Take vitamins? Just curious.

Something about showing us that there is an alternative to the mass factory farming of animals... mainly to get us to think before eating the poorly treated animals.

And honestly, I've tried a bite of a salad, but never eaten one. Only vegetables I eat are carrots and corn, occasionally potatoes. Only fruits are apples... Don't take any vitamins... don't drink milk b/c I'm borderline lactose intolerant... I've just stayed remarkebly healthy... Only 1 broken bone and no cavities, no scurvy or shit like that.

I hope you saw the South Park where they showed that if you don't eat meat, you turn into a big pussy.

Jiminy Christmas, and you're paying to learn this? :)

I'm glad it's an easy A... but if you want to be my hero you'll walk into your next class carrying a sack full of cheeseburgers from McDonalds.

Of course, I know that being my hero isn't exactly at the top of your "things to do list" :D

All I know is I'm 10 hours into the day, and I'm freakin starving... I think there is some psychology working against me here.

Back to your original question - try beans. You might find black beans a little more appealing than other types, but most are pretty rich with protien and generally pretty filling.

It's 1043 here, just got back from a really tough tcomm test. I'm eating a turkey lunchable...and it's awesome!!!!!!!!!! :)


I hate that PETA crap. The animals are treated badly? That's right...cause we want to kill them and eat them, not raise them up and pet them.

This is the second time in a week I'm agreeing with CamEdwards on something... and FWIW, you'd be my hero too. If you'll wear a "save the rain forest" shirt while you eat your mcdonald's, I'll give you $10.

I guess this guarantees that you won't suddenly turn into an insensitive prick... :rolleyes:



NEW YORK -- Bill Singer's new job with the Mets appeared in jeopardy amid speculation he would be let go following his racially insensitive remarks last week to a Los Angeles Dodgers executive.

Reports in New York area newspapers said Singer, hired as a superscout Nov. 6, could be fired or asked to resign this week.

"He's still employed by us at the moment, but the matter is under organizational review," Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Sunday night. "No decision has been made."

Singer and the team have apologized for racially insensitive remarks to a Los Angeles Dodgers' official during the general managers' meetings this week.

Singer's apology is not likely to save his job, however. The Mets have already begun looking for his replacement, according to a story in the New York Daily News on Sunday. And sources told the newspaper there is "no way" that Singer will survive the controversy.

Singer made the comments to Dodgers assistant general manager Kim Ng at a hotel bar in Arizona on Tuesday night, prompting Yankees general manager Brian Cashman -- Ng's former boss -- to step in, sources familiar with the conversation told the Daily News. The Los Angeles Times also reported that Singer confronted Ng, citing unnamed baseball officials who were present.

After the incident, Singer met privately with Mets general manager Jim Duquette and claimed that he had been on a low-carbohydrate diet, which caused him to suffer a chemical imbalance in conjunction with consuming alcohol, the Daily News reported.

"That didn't wash with Jim and it sure as hell won't wash with [owner] Fred [Wilpon]," a Mets source told the Daily News. "Plain and simple, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior, and there's no saving this guy."

Singer issued a statement released by the Mets on Friday.

"I am embarrassed by what I said when I met with Ng on Tuesday evening," Singer said. "My comments were truly inappropriate and I'm truly sorry. I have apologized to her and hope she will forgive me."

According to The Times, Singer approached Ng as baseball people gathered in the hotel bar after attending an instructional league game Tuesday. Two officials within earshot described the exchange, which Singer initiated, to The Times as follows:

Singer: "What are you doing here?"

Ng: "I'm working."

Singer: "What are you doing here?"

Ng: "I'm working. I'm the Dodger assistant general manager."

Singer: "Where are you from?"

Ng: "I was born in Indiana and grew up in New York."

Singer: "Where are you from?"

Ng: "My family's from China."

Singer: Nonsensically mock Chinese, then "What country in China?"

"There was a situation," Ng told the Daily News. "I've talked to Jim Duquette about it. That's all I'm going to comment about it."

Cashman declined to comment to the Daily News.

"His conduct was inexcusable and extremely disappointing," Dodgers GM Dan Evans told the Times. "Kim handled the entire situation in a professional manner, and we addressed the matter with the New York Mets the next day. I would prefer to keep that discussion with the Mets confidential."

Singer, 59, a two-time 20-game winner during his 14-year pitching career in the majors, joined the Mets as an assistant and talent evaluator.

"We learned of the matter recently and have addressed it with Bill Singer directly," Duquette said. "While I cannot share the particulars of that discussion with you, suffice it to say that his comments were entirely unacceptable and inconsistent with the values and standards of our organization. We have extended our apologies to Kim Ng and to the Dodgers organization.

"Bill continues to be employed by us at the moment. However, this entire matter continues to be under review by the organization. We are reserving judgment on this."

Ng became the second female assistant general manager in the majors when she was hired by the Yankees in 1997. At 29, she was the youngest assistant GM in the majors. Ng resigned from the Yankees in 2001 after her contract expired, and was hired by the Dodgers a month later.

Screw that. Mickey D's stopped using meat in their burgers in 1973 during the "these morons won't know the difference" campaign. We should take up a collection so you can walk in there with a porterhouse the size of a hubcap. :D

SI

So, if you already don't eat meat and take this class, is that cheating?

Or really powder their puffs and waltz in with a Hungry Man Veal Parmesan entree.

Well I would say doing this to a duck in order to fatten it up is a bit excessive.http://www.gourmetcruelty.com/photos/sick01.jpg

Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human- like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family...

~ Bloom County

I think I see a trout in there.

mmm... trout stuffed duck rectum.

As a vegetarian, I can assure you all it is fairly easy to go meat free for a few weeks.

The more important question is why is a professor giving an assingment that deals with your eating habits? If one told me I had to eat meat to pass a class I would tell them to fuck off in very direct terms.

I'd think the lesson would be how much people need meat in their daily diet, and possibly to show how meat improves your health with the weight gain from people eating high carb diets.

I would just eat meat and pretend to look starved in class. Make sure to floss before you go though. Nothing will give you away like a T-Bone stuck between your teeth. Make sure to wipe the blood from your chin too, most teachers don't buy the whole 'girlfriend menstruating' excuse.

Guess we know which class it was where you watched the Meatrix video...

Seriously, there are lots of high protein meat alternatives on the market now that taste good. Try some of the Morningstar Farms products, or the Boca products. There are other brands that make good products, too. Veat Gourmet Bites are a great stir-fry ingredient. And most of them are high in soy protein, which is much healthier than most meats (maybe excluding fish) anyway. And they are just as filling.

How is he going to check up on you eating meat, anyway? I've gone vegetarian before, for a few months. Aside from discovering the joys of meatless chili and Morningstar Farms buffalo "wings", it wasn't that great.

Just eat meat and fake it.

BTW, how the hell does Furman lose to Wofford 7-6? That's HORRIBLE.

Or maybe the point is to eat a food that caused the death of hundreds of innocent animals.

I've never eaten a salad in my life either. The veggies I eat are potatos, corn...that's about it. I eat tons of fruit though.

And what the hell did they do to those ducks?

Potatoes and corn are not really vegetables, are they?

just thought I'd update. Its been 3 days without meat (I had eggs, but that doesn't count for some reason)... a long ass 3 days (I last ate meat for dinner on Sunday). So far this week I've had
Monday: Lunch - bag of popcorn. Dinner - eggs and a corn tortilla.
Tuesday: Lunch - Macaroni and cheese. Dinner - Cheese Pizza. I'm borderline lactose intolerant, so my ass was on the toilet all night... fun!
Wednesday: Lunch - apple, fritos. Dinner - Nothing yet, but I snacked on some cheerios and cookies.

So I haven't really embraced the vegetarian part of it, but hey, I'm not eating meat :(

(I had eggs, but that doesn't count for some reason)

Because your commie PETA bastard of a teacher is also pro-abortion, that's why eggs don't count.

:D

Dinner - Went to Zaxby's. Had 3 pieces of toast and a plate of french fries.
