Imagine: You hunt for recipes, and they say 'summer surprise' or, download the collection of Times recipes.'

Here I speak tough: I am not taking a moral upperhand though. Many people are brought up without the opporunity to be a vegetarian, and shops and schools barely allow it. People are brought up with a taste for meat, and rationale to match it. Even twhen sympathising with the lot of animals, people say, oh but their humanely dispatched, and 'i couldn't live without meat'. But i sincerely beleive that this stunts spiritual growth, if you guard your awareness about eating meat, what you are doing. That's my experience growing up in our society, with meat on the plate. Meat eaters don't ge a chance to easily absorb delicious vegetarian cooking. Insteaad they get a demo from a tv chef who opens up cans of cooked kidney beans and chick peas and turns them into a meat dish (with garlic and tomatoe puree).

So, imagine: You download and and navigate through 2, 000 recipes and they have rat pooh in 3/4 of them.

That's what it's like for vegetarians! When people submit collections, they should describe them in general terms: a collection of dishes with pork, or something along those lines. Otherwise vegetarians will have to stay on 'vegetarian sites' and not communicate with the larger masses. That's a loss to society: meateaters, their children and the animals, because all eat vegetables anyway.

There are no 'vegetarian dishes' except for frozen cheating food in pubs. Its more along the lines of, braised sprouting broccilli with , mustard leaf and artichokes'; 'Broad Bean patties with apple sauce', and so on. Not 'Vegetarian Lasagne" which tells you to keep away, unless you like to think you're eating meat even when you're eating vegetables! A la vegetarian sausage.

Flesh eaters assume they are the majority, They may be. But their ignorance needs correcting. We are not 'meant to eat meat': that is an assumption of meateaters. Every good reason scientific/medical or not, has been shown to be false, often ridculous. It's upbringing and choice.

When you look to history, it is vagabonds and theives who resorted to eating flesh, as scavangers or killers: they didn't tend a garden. They were mal-content or misled whilst wandering. They lacked skill and moral in foraging from forests, or just finding generosity from others, because of their manner: outlaws on the run.

Many think what they do is 'right' to justify eating meat. They have pointed teeth, so they call them canine and imagine they are jackals, scavengers and so on.

Perhaps the man I once found living in one room of his house, sleeping like a dog in a pile of newspapers, and eating from dog food cans, then commuting to work in London, in his dirty dark blue suit thinks every one should eat the same, or does so any way.
