Why did I name my blog site "My Southern Vegetarian Life"?
....I named my blog "My Southern Vegetarian Life" because of the difficulty of trying to be a vegetarian in the South when eating out...I actually find it interesting and humorous at times...but seldom healthy....
I have never lived any where that puts bacon (pig butt) in every dish imaginable...potato salad, broccoli salad, various sauteed or cooked veggies....oh and I cannot forget to mention mac and cheese!
I cannot leave out wieners (also contains pig butt and other despicable pig parts)....Southerns love their hot dogs and love finding various ways to incorporate them in their meals....
Please do not think for one minute that I do not love Southerners...because I do! They are very kind people but they eat to much pork...but I am sure that this is not the only place in the world that has bad eating habits. However, it has been the capital of obesity for the past few years and I would like to see that change.
