Where is the controversy? I am thinking we all should eat what we like, can afford, what our bodies tolerate, etc. We are omnivores in our house but I cook most of everything we eat, from scratch and good ingredients. Of course there are foods that could be considered vegan or vegetarian in a lot of my meals. We don't have any health limitations now like celiac or diabetes. For many years Mr Stitchnripper had a sensitivity (not allergy and not lactose intolerance) which precluded cow dairy except for butter. After over 25 years without his body can tolerate it now. The issue I have with people's food choices is when they try to impose them on me. I wouldn't do that to them.
