I eat very little meat because of the price, and live mostly off veggies, pasta, and rice. Here in a very small Northern Ontario city there is no farmer's market, and only one bulk food store that sells mostly spices and wine-making products. There is one great health food store, but because of the low market-base the prices are astronomical. However, in spring and summer when local and Canadian products come in to season I gorge!<BR/><BR/>Oh and also ordering on the internet can be hard because it's very expensive to ship across the border, and you're often hit with a customs cost once it gets to the door. Once I get back to a bigger city though I'm going back to my greater-veggie ways!Karliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591484933005525101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143094178660650842006-03-22T22:09:00.000-08:002006-03-22T22:09:00.000-08:00Hi JenniferApologies for my last post.

As a reward for this kind of discipline (read: insanity), I would stop at the French bakery that is conveniently located on my route from the hair salon to my workplace and treat myself to a large croissant or pain chocolat and juice. Since becoming vegan, I have of course abandoned that croissant habit (but not the insane hair appointment time). This morning was one of my hair appointment days, and I was sorely missing my croissant when I dragged myself in to work. Lo and behold, I come to Vegan Lunchbox and find that you have posted not only a vegan croissant recipe, but one that includes whole wheat! You, madame, are my hero! I will be making these this weekend for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143056031184261162006-03-22T11:33:00.000-08:002006-03-22T11:33:00.000-08:00The croissants are georgeous!

I've always been intrigued with those who are vegan or vegetarian. I grew up HATING most vegetables except for peas, beans and carrots. Now, at 28, I LOVE them! Can't believe it took me so long. I have a 5yr old son who is just like I was. Loves carbs and dairy. However, due to a dairy sensitivity we do soy milk and alternatives for the most part. Thankfully my two other daughters love most of their veggies (except broccoli LOL!).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am enjoying your blog so much and it has really inspired me to provide more healthy options in my kids foods. THANK YOU so much!!<BR/><BR/>I do have a question though. My 2nd daughter does not like nuts, therefore she won't eat peanut butter. Can you suggest some other ways to get high protein healthy snacks into her diet? She is very thin, but eats very healthy for the most part.<BR/><BR/>THanks!<BR/>brandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143039956903689882006-03-22T07:05:00.000-08:002006-03-22T07:05:00.000-08:00I think the price of things is more then the immed...I think the price of things is more then the immediate price. That is to say, when someone buys something cheap at Walmart's, they are usually supporting Chinese and other industries which often abuse their workers and cause terrible pollution - rivers of toxins and terrible air. Not to mention how Walmart's itself treats its workers. What does that do to Shmoo and his kids? The whole planet is on the verge of a devastating change with sea level 25 feet higher, constant bad storms, declining food suppies, etc., because this generation says that costs too much and doesn't look at the real costs. Once you do the latter, buying right becomes a no-brainer.<BR/><BR/>Plus, as has been pointed out before, if you go to farmer's markets, etc. you can pay less and support local agriculture which you will surely need once gas starts to run out and becomes $50 a gallon. Not to mention compare the price of a pound of rice vs a pound of meat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143039282379138142006-03-22T06:54:00.000-08:002006-03-22T06:54:00.000-08:00Love the napkin! maybe lil shmoo wont throw them a...Love the napkin! maybe lil shmoo wont throw them away now that he gets to choose the decoration?? have you ever tried attaching it to something like silverware or the box itself? heh, perhaps that's a little extreme...but maybe it could work? napkin on a string? ;oDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143038378009419902006-03-22T06:39:00.000-08:002006-03-22T06:39:00.000-08:00Not everybody can cut back so easily, but even tho...Not everybody can cut back so easily, but even though this is a luxury, it is pretty good looking.animeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676113620095895642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143035832397997512006-03-22T05:57:00.000-08:002006-03-22T05:57:00.000-08:00"I think that buying those kind of foods is a matt..."I think that buying those kind of foods is a matter of personal choice/sacrifice really---I'm not "well off" but I budget for healthy food/organic food because I like it/is better for us.

I also find that when I spend a bit more money at the grocery/health food store for high quality fresh foods we eat out less.<BR/><BR/>So it natually balances out.
