Oh come on nobody is going to comment on the being nearly vegan yet they eat eggs and deer I get it. I don't eat red meat, but I might eat venison and moose if I liked it, but I don't. Animals suffer terribly on factory farms and industrial feedlots. Deer and moose, however, live perfectly normal lives, gamboling though the woods, thinking deer thoughts and doing whatever deer and moose do. Hopefully, the hunter's bullet will be swift and sure. Besides, they often need to be culled or they all starve. So, I have no problem with hunting. The eggs she eats are probably from "free-range" chickens. Except free range basically means shit in America unless you're buying them from the owner of the chickens.

My list is:
Be employed Not be on the sex offenders registry list (this is sadly has been an issue with one of my friends, which is why it's on my list) No outstanding warrants. No violent crime convictions Over 21 and under 60 Under 500lbs
I am almost 40 and so I can't rule out people with kids and who have been divorced, because most men in my age range have kids and an ex-wife.

Ah yes, the list changes as we get older, doesn't it?! I had a friend who was a loser magnet. If a date stopped contacting her suddenly she would scroll through our local police "roundup" that was posted online. At least two different guys she was seeing were on that list I guess getting locked up would be a valid excuse for not returning a call!

Now that I'm a widow, I had some fun with a co-worker making a list:
Must have all of his teeth Does not dress like he lives under a bridge NO tattoos (oh just yuck) Higher education Does not think I would love his truck as much as he does No smoking/seldom drinks Height 6' or taller (don't care for short men) Understands about opening doors, helping on with coat. Does not snore or use Cpap machine Must have more money than I do as I won't share Doesn't believe a womans job is to keep him fed (no cooking) Doesn't believe that camping in a tent is something every woman aspires to do Must be at least 70 and no older than 75
I don't think my chances are good, do you?
on edit: i forgot a 2 BIG ones...no facial hair, i.e.. 3 day old beard, no long shaggy beard that looks like critters are living in it, no mustache. Must be an active Christian.

There are places you can buy meat that is sustainably raised. Generally right from the farm, but most places around me also sell through local natural food places, etc.

I have no problem with whatever you want to eat or not eat but words like vegan mean something and it isn't eating animal products. I was a vegetarian for 16 years and I never ate any animal products except eggs and dairy. That's why I was a vegetarian and not a vegan. This is like the people who say they are allergic to gluten or dairy and then scarf down an ice cream or regular bread.

Except free range basically means shit in America unless you're buying them from the owner of the chickens. I buy a brand that is "certified cruelty free". I am not 100% sure exactly what standards that requires, but I assume it is more rigorous than just "cage free". I hope. Ugh. Maybe I should check.
eta - it might be "certified humane"?

I believe the only thing the fda certifies is organic. So everything else is depending upon whatever certifying place is doing the certifying.

I was quoted, so I figured I was the one being addressed. I know plenty of people myself, who claim to be gluten-free while noshing on a bagel.

I don't know how much money either of you have, so can't say on that.

Quoting a post doesn't necessarily mean pointing to that person sometimes it can mean pointing out ... well a point or a statement that another poster is referring to.

I don't know enough about vegans to comment. I'm not about to eat deer ever. Vegans don't eat any animal products at all, including cheese, milk, gelatin and such. So to say you're a vegan yet still eat eggs and wild game is hilarious! The two are not mutually exclusive. Maybe she is more like a localvore, eats whats grown close amd raised ethically or wild caught, but she's not a vegan. I have many vegetarians and vegans in my family so I speak from first hand experience. They tend to be kind of smug about it sometimes too and that irritates the crap out of me. Sorry not trying to be bitter but I have dealt with the I'm better than you attitude beacuse I don't eat the animals" since I was a kid It's the kind of attitude that get chicken broth put in your food

It's not fake chocolate. It is just chocolate without any additives like dairy products. The cocoa is literally a bean so no fakening needed. And I get it on sale with a coupon like a good YM'er. eatdrinkbetter.com/2009/07/02/eating-vegan-answering-the-chocolate-question/

I have a friend coming for Gasparilla. She's lactose intolerant and a vegetarian. I'm worried about what to f Ed her.
