Dialogue: 2693-0
[1043]
{D Well, } it'll be real easy for us, /
[1179]
[1043]
{C because } [ we're both, + my husband and I are ] vegetarians. /
[1179]
{F Oh, } are you really? /
[1043]
{C So, } yeah. /{C So } [ that's + ] the first thing we look for,
[1179]
# Oh. # /
[1043]
# is # if we can eat there or not. /
[1179]
Are you strict vegetarians? /
[1043]
We're not vegan vegetarians. /[ We do, + we're ] ovolacto. /We do eat, {F uh, } eggs [ and, + and ] milk products. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
I used to be a complete vegan vegetarian,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# where # I didn't eat any animal products at all. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C But, } {F um, } [ it was, + it's ] really difficult in the area if you don't have, {D you know, } the products that you can get. /{C And } if you go out to dinner, [ there's virtually, + {D you know, } there's ] not a whole lot of things you can get. /
[1179]
There's very few places [ that you, + I'll bet that you ] could, {F uh, } -/
[1043]
Yeah. /I think maybe if you were somewhere like California, where they have a lot more vegetarian restaurants --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- and stuff. - /{C But } here, basically, you go to an Italian restaurant or you go to a Mexican restaurant,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# {D you # know, } [ where you can get foods that, + {D you know, } where ] you have a little bit more variety as far as the pastas or [ the -- +
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- the ] corn meal, {D you know, }
[1179]
# Yeah. # /
[1043]
# or # something. /
[1179]
{C And } you ---- wouldn't have the meat products in that /{C and } some. -/# Yeah. # /
[1043]
# yeah, /# you have to watch that too. /[ All, + {D you know, } some ] of the restaurants here they will, {D you know, } l-, - /you can ask them and they'll tell you whether or not they use {D like } lard or,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# {D you # know, } animal fat to cook with. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C So, } {C but, } {C so } [ that's, + that ] - /we don't really eat out too much. /
[1179]
Yeah. /
[1043]
[ We, + we ] tend to eat at home. /{C And } actually, {D you know, } I think [ [ [ we, + we, ] + we ] get a ha-, + we have a healthier ] diet than the average person. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /How long have you been doing this? /
[1043]
{F Um, } I've been a vegetarian for, {F uh, } two years now. /My husband has been one for, {F oh, } just over a year now. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C And, } {F uh, } {C so, } -/
[1179]
Do you feel that it has improved the way you feel? /
[1043]
Definitely. /
[1179]
Do you think? /
[1043]
{C And } [ it, + it ] makes you more aware of what you're eating. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C Because } [ you, + you ] have to be. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{E I mean, } [ you, + you ] k-, - /I think [ [ you, + you, ] + you ] balance the foods, {F uh, } {D you know, } /you're more aware of what nutrient, {D you know, } value each thing has,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# and # minerals. /{C And } you're just more aware of food [ for energy, +
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# for # energy sake. ] /
[1179]
I always thought it would be hard to figure what to eat if you were a vegetarian. /[ How, + how, ] -/
[1043]
{D Well, } that's just it, /[ you, + you ] do have to figure it out.
[1179]
Yeah. /
[1043]
[ And, + and, ] {D you know, } [ to + ] get proteins and things. /{C And } when I was a vegan, it's, {D you know, } - /you have to consider calcium and iron and --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- things like that [ you, + you're ] not even getting through your milk products, /
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# your # egg products.
[1179]
{C Because } you don't eat any of those things. /
[1043]
If you don't eat any of those, /{C but } actually you can get everything you need through vegetables. /{E I mean, } [ there are tra-, + [ there are, + there are, ] ] - /you actually you can get more calcium through leafy green vegetables than you can get through milk products. /
[1179]
Is that right? /
[1043]
A lot of people don't know that. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{D Well, } the thing is that milk products, - /our bodies [ don't, + {F uh, } don't, ] {F uh, } - /the lactose, - /that kind of milk, it doesn't, -/
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# our, # - /[ we, + we ] tend to, {F uh, } - /what's it called? /We don't synthesize [ the, + the ] calcium the --
[1179]
[ We, + we ] throw more of it [ off --
[1043]
-- same way. /
[1179]
-- our bod-, + out, {E in other words. } ] /
[1043]
Yeah. /[ We, + we ] slough some of it, /[ [ we, + we ] send, + we send ] some of it out because [ it, + our body ] doesn't accept some of it. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C So } [ we're not utilizing, + we're, ] - /[ when it, + when it ] gets rid of some of that, {F um, } that we can't use, [ it get rids, + it gets rid ] of some of the calcium.
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
Whereas when we eat, say broccoli, you utilize all of it. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
You utili-, - /[ your, + your ] body accepts --
[1179]
All that's in it. -/
[1043]
-- all of the broccoli. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C So, } [ it's like, +
[1179]
# Why? # /
[1043]
# it's # like, ] {D say, } a person using vitamins, as opposed to, {F uh, } vitamin supplements as opposed to eating regular food. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
Your body just doesn't accept [ vitamins --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- and the minerals in the, + the vitamins in, ] {F uh, } supplements that it does in regular food, /
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# {D you # know. } {C So, } -/
[1179]
That's interesting. /
[1043]
{C But } [ we both, + we both ] feel much healthier,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# much # healthier. /{C And } I couldn't consider going back to eating, /
[1179]
After you have been on this. -/
[1043]
Yeah. /{D Well, } {D now } I changed for ethical reasons. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C And } my husband has changed. /He feels more ethically about it. /{C But } [ he, + he ] in the beginning, began for health reasons. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C But, } {F um, } now [ he, + he ] feels like I do. /[ That + ] he looks at the things that he eats /{C and } he realizes what they are
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- before he eats them. /{C And } he,
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# {D you # know, } -/
[1179]
He thinks more about them, then. /
[1043]
Yeah. /{C Plus } he eats, - /[ we both think more about, + I thought more of about ] it as far as what it was I was eating, {D you know, }
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# as # a living creature. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C And } now we both think a lot of {D well, } what is it we're eating in relation to what it's going to give to our bodies. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /{C So } you kind of have a combination. /
[1043]
Uh-huh. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /{D Well } {D see, } [ we, + I ] live in a farming community.
[1043]
Uh-huh. /
[1179]
So, of course we have a lot of animals and that type of thing raised in our area. /
[1043]
{D Well, } we do too. /{E I mean, } I was raised in, {F um, } - /we're in cattle country. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C And } people here buy a half a cow --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- and put it in their freezer, /
[1179]
# {F Oh, } yeah, /yeah. # /
[1043]
# {D you know. } {C And } # [ that's, + that's ] the way I, - /{C and } I, - /believe you me it wasn't easy [ to give up
[1179]
#
[1043]
# to # give up ] a hamburger. /
[1179]
[1043]
[ That, + that ] was one of my favorite foods, [ [ was, + was ] [ a, + a, ] + was a ] good steak or a hamburger. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{C But, } {D you know, } I suppose if you really believe in something [ it's, + ]
[1179]
You get adjusted to the taste. /
[1043]
[ You, + you ] adjust your life -- /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- {C because } your mind. -/
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
[ [ You, + your, ] + you, ] - /inside yourself [ you just, + ] it's not right. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
[ {C So, } + {C but, } ] {F um, } -/
[1179]
{C So } you would have a little more trouble when you were looking for a dining area than what [ most -- +-- most ] people would. /{D Now } we wouldn't have that problem,
[1043]
{C So } what do you look for when you, -/
[1179]
{F Uh, } I think the main thing that I look for is, {F uh, } cleanliness, {F uh, } {D you know, } [ the, + in the ] appearance of the people that work there.
[1043]
Uh-huh. /
[1179]
And the, {F uh, } quality of the food that they serve. /
[1043]
[ Do you normally, + when you're traveling, do ] you look for places that's established, [ that, + that ] you've been to before {C or } --
[1179]
Yes. /
[1043]
-- are you willing to try new places? /
[1179]
{F Oh, } we try new places /{C but } when we, - /a lot of times we do eat where we know. /
[1043]
Yeah. /Like --
[1179]
What, -/
[1043]
-- a chain restaurant --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- or something. /
[1179]
What the quality, - /{C because } a lot of them are the same no matter where you stop. /
[1043]
Uh-huh. /
[1179]
{C And, } {F uh, } we do, do that a lot. /{C And } I guess I'm getting [ old, + older, ] /
[1043]
As opposed to {D like } a cafeteria --
[1179]
Right, /yeah. /
[1043]
-- kind of <
[1179]
{C So, } I suppose you'd say I, - /{D well } [ I, + I ] don't know whether it's age or what it is. /{C But } I have, -/
[1043]
{D Well } no, /I don't think so. /I think it's just your, - /{C because } [ I, + I ] prefer to be waited on too. /I just, - /if you're going to go out to eat, why not have the whole service,
[1179]
# Yeah, # /
[1043]
# {D you # know? } /
[1179]
Yeah. /
[1043]
Why not get the whole, - /I guess because we don't go out that much, /
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# I # feel like it's a treat. /
[1179]
You should [ fee-, + ] have a treat. /
[1043]
Yeah. /
[1179]
{C And } I like the light meals. /Not all restaurants have light meals on their menu,
[1043]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1179]
# {D you # know. } /{C And } I, -/
[1043]
Oh. /Light menu, you mean like cooked light or, -/
[1179]
{F Uh, } L I T E, {D like, } {F uh, } {F uh, } things that aren't as heavy a meal. /
[1043]
{F Oh, } I see. /
[1179]
It, -/
[1043]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1179]
# [ that, + ] # you get more, {F uh, } fruit and maybe cottage cheese or a chicken breast or things that aren't as, {F uh, } - /they're not breaded /{C and } they're not fried /{C and } they're not, -/
[1043]
Not a lot of gravy --
[1179]
Yeah. /
[1043]
-- and things like that. /
[1179]
{F Uh, } {C but } it's not --
[1043]
{D You know, } [ I, +
[1179]
-- # all rest, # /
[1043]
# I ] like those # too. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
I like those too, because, {F uh, } [ some, + seems like sometimes ] [ it's, + ] you order a meal, you order their dinner meal, and it's like they're trying to find out how much you can eat. /{C Or } -- -/
[1179]
I know -- /
[1043]
-- {C or }
[1179]
-- it's too much, /yes. /
[1043]
[ {C Or, } + {C or } ] {D like } evidently people go in there and they're not satisfied that they'd been given enough and they complain /{C and } --
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- maybe they're afraid
[1179]
[1043]
complain or something. /
[1179]
I don't know what it is. /{C But, } {D now } for instance, [ we, + we ] had a Scout dinner last night we went to. /{C And } [ it's, + it's ] - /[ they, + {F uh, } {D well } they'll ] serve you at your seat /{C and } [ u-, + usually ] the salad bar is included, /{C so } you have to get up for that. /{C But } they have so much food that [ you, + not matter how hard you try to restrain yourself, you ] end up eating much more than you need. /
[1043]
Uh-huh. /{C And } I think that's a shame. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
{E I mean, } I must admit, sometimes I do like a buffet. /[ {C But, } + {F uh, } {C but } ] I think that they just tend to make [ you, + you ] say, {F Oh, } {D well, } I've have got all I can eat -- /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]
-- [ {C or, } + {C or, } ] {D you know, } it's one of these situations where nobody's going to restrain what you
[1179]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1043]
# the # amount that you eat. /
[1179]
Uh-huh. /
[1043]

[1179]
Yeah. /You can eat --
[1043]

[1179]

[1043]
Yeah. /
[1179]

[1179]
# {C but } # I, - /somehow along the way, when I come back to my seat, I have too much.
[1043]
Yeah. /{D Well } at least it's fruit and stuff there
[1179]
Yeah /
[1043]
Maybe it's not too
[1179]
{C And } I like reasonable prices of course, too. /I don't like to, {D you know, } go to anything that's real expensive. /
[1043]
