You know, I am one to watch the food channel.  Okay, I know they are all fixing flesh, but I frequently adapt stuff for tofu or beans or something.  I just don't get the focus on all that flesh.  I don't get it on the food channel...I don't get it about commercials.  I don't get it at the grocery store, I don't get it anywhere!

I look at the fact that most of the programs dress up flesh in the extreme with flavorings, marinades, coatings and stuff.  All I can figure is that this is to cover up the taste of it.  It seems to me it takes less work to cover up the taste of tofu.  If you marinade tofu, then like grill it, you can use the left over marinade to dip your cooked tofu into, no raw food worries. 

I remember when I was married to a determined flesh eater who would down 16 ouces of flesh, eggs and cheese a day and cry that he didn't get enough protein!!!!  I don't miss the bad odor in the trash and kitchen, especially the sink.  I don't miss the grease that sticks to everything (funny how vegetable oils don't do that the same way).  I don't miss the bleaching of the cutting boards to kill stuff that would make us sick.  I don't miss any of it.  HOW do people put up with these things????

There is this incredibly clean feeling in the body when you go vegan, isn't there?  Am I alone in feeling like even my skin smells different?  It is as though my skin chemistry has changed and my own personal "fragrance" is different...and it seems to come right out in the wash.  Is this just me?  I mean now, if I don't happen to shower for a day, I don't gross anyone out, not even me.  Ohhh but one upon a time, I was a twice a day person because I felt so dirty and grungy, but that was when I was vegetarian or had had flesh.

I am not trying to be graphic, but I am asking for input from others.
