Hmmm. I just call everything I can't eat 'cow' (j/k).  Flesh-derivative
works for me.

WAMALUG had a dinner meeting at Harmony Cafe in Georgetown.  Even the
picky eaters were happy with the meal.  It's one of my favorite places
to eat here.

uncooked or unprocessed depending on the food.  I tried it for a
couple weeks but it was too difficult to keep up with it.  i also
missed the variety you can get with processed things.  I'm mainly
interested in trying that diet for extended hiking trips.

My wife and I generally use Florida Crystals brand sugar.  It's
partially processed, not as molassas tasting as turbindo(sp?) sugar.
They are also converting to total organic production methods which
is good since I believe it's grown in Florida near the already damaged
Everglades.  I don't generally worry about the bone sugar issue when
I eat out- I do try to avoid it but it's a minor point in the big
picture.

How do you feel about it?

ps. moved this away from .debate to .fun, i just felt too dogmatic
talking about this in .debate.
