I guess that should have been expected from the land of fruits, nuts & flakes.

That being said, I was surprised to read a thread on another forum I'm apart of where people were talking about having their own meatless day, and trying out veggie burgers and veggie chicken patties. I didn't even know this was a thing, but I'm for anything that gets my grocery store to stock up more of a variety of Boca and Morning Star products, lol.
AmberCutie said:Are most of you suggesting that the article defines "meat" as only beef? Meatless, to me, means no beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc.
Has the definition of meat changed to mean only red meat? If so, the term "red meat" will become unnecessary soon.
Yeah I agree with your definition, and also fish. I know it's commonly not included as meat but really, why not? It's animal flesh, it's meat.AmberCutie said:Are most of you suggesting that the article defines "meat" as only beef? Meatless, to me, means no beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc.

We have quite a few Indians at work, and I must say swiping part of their lunch is a highlight of the day. They are almost exclusively vegetarian, but its often hard to tell. Western vegetarians make a thing about surrogate meat, but its not needed if your skills are up to indian food.

And a good thing too...
These sylphette young things would need to sell their blubber to an oil company to pay it.
I'm for this! :lol:Shaun__ said:Whenever I see this thread I think it should be about women having sex without men on Mondays.
HarmlessSquirrel said:It's not just L.A. doing things like this. New York (City) has actually enacted a ban on selling sugared drinks over 16 ounces. Some types of vendor are exempt from the ban, and there are ways around it, but it's more than just a suggestion. At least the meatless Monday thing is just a recommendation.

Its a first step in trying to curb obesity. It won't make a lot of sense or probably achieve much, but sets a precedent. No one needs to drink 2 litres of coke with a mean unless they have lost all perspective of what is a reasonable serving. As our two little friends her show, there are grounds for the city's concern.
government dictates health related stuff all the time, I've disagreed with some of it in the past but a ban on giant sugary drinks is hardly worse than ridiculous taxes on cigarettes or making it criminal to get high.HarmlessSquirrel said:Grounds for concern, certainly, but is it something government should be dictating? Education might be more reasonable. Also, 2 liters is more than 4 times the 16 ounce limit set by the city.
is she opening like....salad dressing or mayo or something there too? ><AllisonWilder said:
This picture confuses my brain. It makes me want to eat pizza (nom nom nom) but shows me I should just eat a salad and have some water instead.
Also, meatless Monday would bum me out so I'm really glad I live in Minnesota.
I dunno but if their half-starved slave in the background didn't fetch it, they sure as hell didn't walk and pick it upblackxrose said:It looks like Hidden Valley ranch actually. :lol:
What I really want to know is, where the fuck can I get a pizza that big? :shock: I swear I have NEVER seen a pizza that big in Nashville and they're supposed to have shit like that here. Dude, if I had a pizza like that, we'd be eating pizza leftovers for at least 4 days and then I wouldn't have to fight BJ to back off my damn food.

Bocefish said:I vaguely remember a place in LA, California that had a 54 inch square pizza pie. I never understood the Ranch dressing thing either, especially on hot wings. If you don't want hot, hot wings, don't order them spicy hot.
fatty tax.
