Great hamburgers and ordeing a 08 MB:)))
Yahoo Message Number: 87634
Hello all,

With all this who has the best hamburger talk in my should I order a 08 early or not thread it got me thinking.

How many if any LDs owners are there out there who are vegetarians?

My wife and I do not eat animals. If fact we love animals. Now, I am not looking for a debate on eating

meat. My Mom and Dad love cats and Dogs but not amimals. They eat animals all the time again, not looking for a debate

if it is healthy or not. Both my Mom and Dad are in their late 80s they eat dead animals everyday. I'll tell you they

act like they are in their mid 50s like me.

It seems to me that maybe just maybe there might be more LD owners who are non meat eaters then SOBs?

Well?

I am a Vegivore.
But my daughter is a Carnivore.
 I stopped eating meat because it makes me tired. I love animals, but that had nothing to do with my reasoning.

Well, I tried to change the thread name, but it just didn't take, sorry to hijack the thread.

Kate you are so sweet. You know, we are like family, if I post a thread we can change it to the weather if you wish. It's fine with me.

Like I said it just got me thinking.
 On our future travels in our LDs I plan to meet some of you. Just like our stick home friends, they cook what they want and eat what they wish, my wife and i do the same, no put downs at all. Not sure if there is a right or wrong way, maybe just a way.

Just was courious.

And no offense taken about the meat thing, we all do what we do, I was just apologizing for hijacking the thread!

I can tell you that while not a strict vegetarian, Andy eats very little red meat.

We are also vegetarians. Planning to go to our first LD GTG in March in Jacksonville, FL and was wondering if there may be any other vegetarians in the group. Figured it was unlikely but you never know! Just plan to bring food we can eat to the pot lucks.
By the way, do any of you happen to ride recumbent bicycles like we do? Just one more "cult" we belong to!

Hi Gayle and Jim,

Wife and i road our bicycles today 25 miles. Just flat riding along the coast bike path. I sure would like to try a recumbent bike someday.
Do you carry one when you for camping? We plan to bring somehow 4 bikes with us, two road bikes and two mountain bikes. I love riding bicycles almost more then anything.
 Bicycles were my favorite toy as a kid and 50+ years later still get me excited.

 I'm not a vegetarian but getting closer every day. A couple of years ago we were riding along a back road somewhere in the midwest. George wanted a steak so we were hunting for a carnivorous restaurant. While waiting at a stop sign I glanced over a fence and watched a cow licking her her calf's face.  Needless to say I did NOT eat meat that night and I've never been able to get that picture out of my head.

Don,
 I would have to say that ride road recumbents has been our obsession for the past 7 years. They are the type of ride that puts a smile on your face like when you were a kid.
 We typically put a few thousand miles a year on ours and expect that will go up when we retire. They make long distance rides very comfortable no neck or back or butt problems.
 We use a sportworks hitch rack on either the LD or toad depending. You don't have to take any wheels off with that and they are securely on the rack in 2 seconds.

Those racks are now under the Thule name model T2.

In the past anyone not preferring what is planned just brings what they want and throws it on the grill.  No problem.  Hope that works for you.

OK, I'm a meat eater of the voracious variety.  If it isn't meat it isn't dinner.  I do eat grilled cheese from time to time though.  My wife however is a non meat eater (vegetarian) although she loves cheese.  So we always end up making a couple of different meals.  I try to do things where the side dish can be for her.  Like nice baked potatoes, or a fettuccine Alfredo, that sort of thing.  It can be kind of a challenge while motor homing, with limited space and all that.  But as some others have stated, there is usually a BBQ grill going and it's very easy to marinate some veggies in Italian dressing and throw them on the grill.

Yep. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and have been for the last several years.  My previous diet wasn't doing me any favors, and I have fewer health issues now.  The whole "meat industry" thing was what made up my mind to make the change.  I don't miss the meat, poultry or seafood. My husband, and the rest of my family and most friends remain carnivores.

When at home or in the LD, I can fix what I want.  When we eat out, which we do most days, I don't have a problem finding things I can eat.  I've just learned to ask questions about how things are prepared, and to explain to servers in restaurants what I can eat and what I can't eat.  I don't make a big deal of it.

Interesting...I wonder if riding recumbents and being vegetarian goes together...hummmmm.  Yes, I am a vegetarian, and I do ride a recumbent trike.  It's a Comfort Cycle/Chaise delta trike.  They are no longer manufactured, but it's been a fun trike to ride.  Puts a smile on my face every time!  I bought it when we lived in a town in East TX, The Woodlands, that has over 140 miles of paved bike/hike paths. Now it's in our shed at the Escapees Rainbow's End RV Park, near Livingston, TX, where I use it to get around.  I don't carry it on the LD, or on the toad.  It did fit perfectly inside the Honda Odyssey we used to have, but decided to leave it behind now that we tow a Honda CR-V.

Sharon and the others on this thread...

Thank your lucky stars that you don't have to contend with Celiac Disease. I have a cousin that has it and it's a nightmare to find food she can eat.

"When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging the fingerlike villi of the small intestine. When the villi become damaged, the body is unable to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, which can lead to malnourishment."
 Even with exceptional dilligence she still gets sick more often than not.

Well, like your wife I like cheese too. I believe a live cow feeds more people then a dead cow.

So true, Steve!  It is really a nasty disease! Those of us who travel by RV or live in our LDs can avoid restaurants if we have health issues that make us live with restricted diets.  If you have to travel by car or plane that becomes very difficult.  Yet another plus in the RV column.

Yeah, of course!  A dead cow would have a hard time inviting guests to dinner. :>)

I'm non-celiac gluten intolerant and it is indeed a challenge, especially since I need to be casein (dairy)-free and egg yolk-free as well. But that's one of the reasons I wanted a LD, and it has made it so much easier to have my own food and kitchen with me, especially when visiting relatives and friends. Gluten isn't allowed to cross the threshold of my LD, as even crumbs can affect me. It's definitely a blessing to be able to have my own gluten-free zone with me!

I am sure this is off topic, but I'd sure like to know how a live Angus feeds anybody? Unless it's by producing more "Meat To Eat". I have been around cows all my life and I sure can't understand this thought. I live in Lancaster county and I can assure you that most dairy cattle here don't live a charmed life. Some of the worst conditions I have ever seen cattle kept in.
And most of the male dairy calves are keep in very confined areas and slaughtered for veal at an early age.

OK, folks, I think the thread on vegetarianism has run long enough.
Let's get back on topic before we wade into an ethical swamp. ;-)
