Thank you for your comments Trisha, I think everybody is a vegetarian in the inside...It just the way we are raised that give us the inertia of doing what have been done for generations. I personally believe that If people think more thoroughly what they are really eating and its implications, I'm sure their inside vegetarian would surface. I've seen a very positive increase in the number of vegetarians worldwide in the past years. Let's hope it continues rising!
I'm grateful for having the opportunity to change and learn the good things about been vegetarian. Let me share with you a little story: When I was in high school I did a routine personality profile test that was given to everybody to help us decide our next career step. Well, the school psychologist was very puzzled because in my test my "aggression" levels were zero. That made me realize that beside feeling healthy I was less aggressive! in part because of my family culture but also in part for been Vegetarian. I'm glad you're raising your daughter vegetarian.
I really do believe in a link between meat-eating and aggression.
Here is a tidbit of history for you...
A Christian writer in the late nineteenth century wrote this passage in a chapter about why God sent the worldwide in Noah's time. In regards to the way the pre-flood society was behaving, she writes:
"They delighted in destroying the life of animals; and the use of flesh for food rendered them still more cruel and bloodthirsty, until they came to regard human life with astonishing indifference." Ellen White.
Interesting that she wrote this in the late 1800's.

Guau Rose, tenia un tiempito sin visitar tu pagina y ahora me quede tan impresionada con toooodas las cosas ricas que has cocinado, inventado, y compartido en esta pagina! que maravilla! se me hace la boca agua. Que impresionante la torta de cumpleaNos para Bella, que rica se ve esa torta de platano, que barbara eres! Me animas a meterme en la cocina. Queria compartir contigo un tip que me invente. Para darle mas saborcito al tofu, lo pongo en agua con bastante sal por una noche. Es interesante, que apenitas absorbe sal suficiente como para darle saborcito y te lo puedes comer en taquitos sin ponerle nada mas. Que cosa no!?
Mil carinos para los tres! y gracias por compartir tanta inspiracion!
