Don't tell anybody, but I think I've become a Vegan

It's not that I hate meat or anything. I just discovered it's kind of killing me. So, I've started to stock up on mainly Vegan foods. I think they're Vegan. I never really did figure out the difference between vegetarian and vegan, so cut me some slack. Instead of my Philly Cheesesteak for dinner, I had split pea soup, a banana and some grapes. I did some grocery shopping today and bought mainly vegetables and fruit. Couldn't believe how much food has animal products in it, cheese or various types of milk.

So does going Vegan mean I have to become a liberal? And do I have to take up smoking, too, because I use to see nothing but smoking Vegans when I lived in San Francisco? Part of the "allowable" foods was beans, lots of different types of beans. I'm not ready to go there yet. I can't stand beans, and I might just starve first.

Stumble It!

Food prices are hitting hard in the areas people don't notice

I was in the grocery store this morning and noticed some prices were up 50 percent for much lower priced items. I think they believe we won't notice a difference if something that used to be 99 cents is now "on sale" for $1.50. I also noticed frozen food prices are up quite a bit. Some of the really badly made items that used to sell for 99 cents (the really bad budget frozen dinners) were now "on sale" for 2/$3.00.
