Wed, 07 May 2008 18:58:28 +0000 http://thegastrognome.wordpress.com/?p=124#comment-116 I can totally relate. I live in a city in Northeastern BC that is absolutely full of people who are happy living on KFC and standard meat and potatoes fare. In January, I was in Edmonton with my husband's family and one of his sisters (she's a chicken lover) and her husband continually ate McDonald's and KFC when there were dozens of other options that we don't have in this town. And just try getting these people to try something slightly experimental that I've made - I might salivate over it and greatly enjoy it while they turn up their noses and eat some more Mennonite food. Yum. And yes, it's entirely possible to eat really well and be a vegetarian...I've been doing it quite happily for eleven years. Cutting meat out of your diet is no excuse for eating nothing but steamed vegetables and boring salads. I'm from Auburn originally, and while moving here it seems people are worse, it's obvious that food haters are everywhere - even where the best stuff is available. I can totally relate.
