Some of those you can get at any grocery store. Some you can get at Whole Foods, Wild Oats or Trader Joe’s. Try going to the website of the products in question and they usually have a store finder for you. You can also go to vegdining.com or happycow.com and search for stores that carry certain brands. seeveggiesdifferently.com = Morningstar tofurkey.com quorn.co.uk scroll down to bottom of page where it says international and click on that for the country you want. tastethedream.com silksoymilk.com gardenburger.com tofutti.com lightlife.com amys.com bocaburger.com 8thcontinent.com followyourheart.com I added Amy’s and 8th Continent for you, these are good brands too. I agree with the person below about making food yourself and don’t rely too heavily on premade stuff. Edit: OK now I admit this isn’t an award winning answer but there is nothing wrong with it and I didn’t deserve a thumbs down. I am giving this person a helpful answer. It doesn’t usually bother me if I get a thumbs down, but this is ridiculous.



What are your thoughts about the schools in Maine who are going to be offering birth control to young girls?

I think that if parents refuse to be parents, the state has a responsibility to take over. The sad part of this is that there are so many Christian churches that think that they can tell children not to have sex, and that children will necessarily abstain. The truth is that this doesn’t happen, and […]

I think that if parents refuse to be parents, the state has a responsibility to take over. The sad part of this is that there are so many Christian churches that think that they can tell children not to have sex, and that children will necessarily abstain. The truth is that this doesn’t happen, and we have mothers at 12 or 13 years of age, who are unable to finish school and find themselves on welfare. I think that parents should be informed. Perhaps they should sign a consent form. Still, if parents can’t responsibly educate their children about sex, and if we continue to have young children becoming parents, something needs to be done. Churches are obviously not doing their intended jobs as the problem continues. They say that such pills will increase the number of children having sex; that this implies tacit permission. The truth is that they are already having sex and we need to prevent young pregnancies.



Dog Training?

It will take some work on your part, but yes its possible. Regular, scheduled walks are important. Not only will this drain any excess anxiety he/she will be feeling from the move and start to create a better bond, but the more you walk, the less the dog will have to go to the bathroom. […]

It will take some work on your part, but yes its possible. Regular, scheduled walks are important. Not only will this drain any excess anxiety he/she will be feeling from the move and start to create a better bond, but the more you walk, the less the dog will have to go to the bathroom. Make sure you correct him when he goes in the house and promptly put him outside to finish. You don’t have to scream at him, it will probably make him nervous and just pee more. Watch the dog whisperer and you’ll see its the energy you carry when you correct him. He has to see you as the pack leader because this is how dogs live in the wild. Sounds like your sister-in-law let this dog be the dominant one. Dogs are smart animals who live in the moment. Just because your sister has let him urinate all over her house doesn’t mean he can’t learn that your yard or daily walks are when he goes while he is living with you. If its a yard, he’ll even start telling you he has to go by going to the door like my dog.



peugeot dont sell well in the U.S unlike other european cars, why?

Peugeot gave up in 1991 and went back to France, leaving legions of disgusted buyers with worthless cars that wouldn’t run. When the very first Peugeot rolled off the dealer lot in the U.S. the trouble began. The cars were (are) underpowered, underengineered, suffered rotten build quality and were silly expensive. The service depts. soon […]

Peugeot gave up in 1991 and went back to France, leaving legions of disgusted buyers with worthless cars that wouldn’t run. When the very first Peugeot rolled off the dealer lot in the U.S. the trouble began. The cars were (are) underpowered, underengineered, suffered rotten build quality and were silly expensive. The service depts. soon filled to capacity with broken Peugeots — and soon filled with angry customers as well. The cars simply were not designed for American driving — (long, fast and hard). The poor Peugeots soon began overheating, suffered massive fluid loss, mysterious electrical blackouts and self destructed with abandon. Americans hated the cars with such vengence they couldn’t be given away. It wasn’t personal — we did the same thing to GM, Ford and Chrysler back in the seventies, only THEY didn’t have anywhere to run to. Their only option was to increase their quality by 100%. By the way, we are STILL pi**ed-off and the domestic car builders are still suffering after thirty years. We love our cars but have long, long ,memories….



If you became a billionaire,what would you do with your money?

First, I would take needy, deserving, homeless or shelter bound families and buy them a beautiful house. I also would furnish their home. Second, I would re-build the local shelter with more rooms and privacy. At the time there is just three different sections (families, single women, and single men) with a bunch of beds. […]

First, I would take needy, deserving, homeless or shelter bound families and buy them a beautiful house. I also would furnish their home. Second, I would re-build the local shelter with more rooms and privacy. At the time there is just three different sections (families, single women, and single men) with a bunch of beds. The only time they get some privacy is when they are in the bathroom, although you can sort of see the other people in the shower (I used to help them clean the place). Third, I would open a grocery store for people that need some extra help that are low on money for the right reasons can buy for free or reduced prices depending on how poor they are. Fourth, I would go to the pre-school in my town that is free for parents that need extra help. I would bring those kids clothes and fun educational things for them to do because it isn’t getting enough sponsors. I also would donate money to cancer and St. Jude’s to help kids with medical problems. Oh, and I forgot to add that I would adopt children from US that are like 4 or 5 and everyone forgot about them.



describe the advantages that the union had over the confederacy at the outset of the civil war?

Since this question is in the “Quotations” category, I’ll answer with a quotation. From Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With The Wind”: Rhett Butler: “Has any one of you gentlemen ever thought that there’s not a cannon factory south of the Mason-Dixon Line? Or how few iron foundries there are in the South? Or woolen mills or […]

Since this question is in the “Quotations” category, I’ll answer with a quotation. From Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone With The Wind”: Rhett Butler: “Has any one of you gentlemen ever thought that there’s not a cannon factory south of the Mason-Dixon Line? Or how few iron foundries there are in the South? Or woolen mills or cotton factories or tanneries? Have you thought that we would not have a single warship and that the Yankee fleet could bottle up our harbors in a week, so that we could not sell our cotton abroad? But - of course - you gentlemen have thought of these things. “The trouble with most of us Southerners is that we either don’t travel enough, or we don’t profit enough from our travels…. I have spent the last few years in the North. I have seen many things that you all have not seen. The thousands of immigrants who’d be glad to fight for the Yankees for food and a few dollars, the factories, the foundries, the shipyards, the iron and coal mines - all the things we haven’t got. Why, all we have is cotton and slaves and arrogance.” I’ve always thought that passage summed up the challenges of the Confederacy very nicely.



Can an android ever become a human?

It depends on your definitions of android and human. If by android you mean a construct of metal and electronics and by human you mean an entity made of flesh, then no. It would take divine intervention to convert metal to flesh. If by android you mean any human construct that its supposedly conscious, and […]

It depends on your definitions of android and human. If by android you mean a construct of metal and electronics and by human you mean an entity made of flesh, then no. It would take divine intervention to convert metal to flesh. If by android you mean any human construct that its supposedly conscious, and by human you refer to consciousness, then yes it may be. Much depends on the complexity of the hardware; it may have only an animal consciousness. After certain complexity, it may become something similar to human. Of course, this complexity is only the first step. There are other things that make us human. What they are is a matter of debate. However, I believe there is a valid listing of those things, and a way to incorporate them into a machine. It is a matter of time the humanity can figure how to do this.



Do pomerianians dog shed alot? Can YOU explain? links too would be great.?

I own a pom. They do shed like all dogs. In fact they are they are one of the heaviest shedders in the toy group. And they shed 1-2 times a year. So they require lots of brushing. But they first start shedding when they are going through their “uglies” which is their adolesent months […]

I own a pom. They do shed like all dogs. In fact they are they are one of the heaviest shedders in the toy group. And they shed 1-2 times a year. So they require lots of brushing. But they first start shedding when they are going through their “uglies” which is their adolesent months around 3 months of age. You will see fur everywhere, I can’t wear black w/o it being all over me. So you will need to brush your poms coat everyday to reduce it being all over your house. Females blow their coat every heat cycle. You should get them spayed if you want a girl because of this and for health reasons. Her coat may not ever be as beautiful again. I have allergies and my pom does me no harm. But I can’t speak for everyone. If you are usually not allergic to dogs then a pom should be ok with you.



since ive had only smartass replies let me clearify my question,i know alienware is a pc brand,?

Funny…. Here’s a way to check what you can kill or not, probably not the quickest, but you might learn something on the way. Check to see what is running on your machine, to do this, press the following keys: Ctrl + Alt + Delete. A window will open, click the Processes. This window shows […]

Funny…. Here’s a way to check what you can kill or not, probably not the quickest, but you might learn something on the way. Check to see what is running on your machine, to do this, press the following keys: Ctrl + Alt + Delete. A window will open, click the Processes. This window shows everthing that’s running on your machine. Now the big question, which one can you stop. This can be time consuming, but as I mentioned, you might learn something. Make a note of the process name, and go to these web pages and do a search for the process, they will tell you what they do, if they are critical and so OK to stop and/or remove. http://www.processlibrary.com/ http://www.reger24.de/ http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm Like I siad this can be slow, but there’s no other way of telling you what is safe to close unless I see what is running on your machine.



How are you liking the Industrial Revolution?

Tyger, tyger, burning bright in the forests of the night… Had the people involved in the “revolution’ had a higher (some) degree of “consciousness”, it could have been managed in a manner which didn’t allow it to run wild in the best interest, very primarily, of only the usual morbidly obese psychopaths. That way every […]

Tyger, tyger, burning bright in the forests of the night… Had the people involved in the “revolution’ had a higher (some) degree of “consciousness”, it could have been managed in a manner which didn’t allow it to run wild in the best interest, very primarily, of only the usual morbidly obese psychopaths. That way every one, including the planet, would have benefitted from an improved “quality of life”, etc. But, alas, in the spirit of stupidity and criminality, attributes rampant among the “elites”, they chose to do things the usual way, involving the usual greed and selfishness. Now we are all suffering from the “fallout”. In short, an enlightened leadership could have made it work for all. Instead we have the likes of the bush crime family, donald (very) plump, and countless other troglodytes running the show, to the detriment of all. Very sad.
