Good for you!!! Go veggie! Or at least cut down on your meat. . .it took me a really long time to get off meat entirely; it helps to go slow.

Ok, I've been trying to cutdown... but there's an obscure lack of vegetables in my house, so I'm mostly eating rice.
Also, my family isn't really a strong supporter of vegetarianism. They're not against it, but they're not exactly for it either

Rice is good. I love rice, it's good with fish, and tofu.

Where I come from, one is never really fed unless food is served with rice. You're choice of steamed rice, stir-fried rice with egg, bacon, or just plain ole onions and/or garlic. Then there's rice cakes sweetened sticky rice for desert, popped-rice...

Ahh, onions 'n rice! Gotta try that... those rice deserts sound interesting, too.
Here, I mainly eat Japanese rice... been the same rice for a couple years now... tends to get a bit boring. I like steamed rice, but don't get much of it Never had tofu either... Btw, Eruviel, you're vegetarian right? But you eat fish. Where's the cutoff point? Are eggs considered meat? Are these dumb questions? Why am I still asking things?

Not dumb questions. . .I do eat fish, and eggs, because. . .well, I just do I consider myself a vegetarian, because I dont' eat anything for which a mammal or bird had to die. But then the egg thing gets complicated. Also, it differs for other people. . .
I just had rice and tofu for dinner. I love rice!

Ok, two more questions:
1. What exactly is tofu? Is that supposed to imitate meat? 2. I assume gravy from meat is considered "meat," right? Edit: I love rice too! Just not Japanese rice.

1. Tofu is basically soy bean curd. It's high in protein, and very healthy. Although it is often used as a meat-substitute, and a dairy substitute, that is not its sole purpose.
2. Hey, I don't even eat soup in which chicken broth was used!

Are there "subspecies" of tofu? Or are they all the same?
Btw, 100th post... Yay!! Triple digits!

I usually get. . .um. . .firm tofu, packaged in water. . .it's good to use in a stir fry, with some veggies, and soy sauce.
