Original message
I'm transitioning my husband to vegetarian (then vegan) ... and as you may know, it isn't easy to get meals on the go.

What do you guys pack for lunch if you take your lunch with you to work?
 

The responses make me want to fire up the grill and cook up the biggest, juiciest steak I can find.  Followed by a rack of babybacks, and a whole roast chicken.  

Quote
Humus, with pita or carrot sticks.

Quote
. Peanut butter and jelly.  and a pear.

Quote
Unstuffed Shells (from "Vegan Vittles")
 What?  Just the shells?  You need a recipe?

Quote
Tofurkey sandwich on a hoagie roll

Quote
make up a batch of tofu 'egg' salad:
 (Mash up tofu with mayo and relish, add some spice.  Yuck.)

Quote
I mix white rice with Indian sauces that I found at the grocery store in the multiculture aisle.
 Aren't you a good little moonbat.  

Quote
Red beans and rice or tofu lasagna


Quote
Sloppy Joes with soy bits

Quote
cheese and tomato sandwiches

Quote
if your husband likes tuna salad, you can make a decent fake one with garbanzo beans/chickpeas.
 Barf!

Does the husband get a choice in this I wonder? Because if I were the husband I'd be off to Burger King or the like as soon as this control freak's back was turned.

Exactly. If my wife packed anything even close to what the DUmors are suggesting, it would go right in the trashcan and I'd have me one of these bad boys from KFC!

A couple of the choices sound edible, if you only take a snack at lunch and aren't expecting an actual filling meal...the PBJ sure, okay...MAYBE the fake egg salad (I'd reserve judgment on that until I could actually see it; I can visualize the tofu possibly being able to pass the texture test as cooked egg white, but I'm not sure how she'd get that witches' brew brew to actually taste like the yolks were in it; but then maybe she is one of those goobers that throws out the only tasty part of the egg in the first place).

The rest pretty much sounds like hippy-dippy tomfoolery.

Michael Savage has been talking about vegetarian diets the past couple of days in response to Bill Clinton being interviewed and saying that aside from some fish he's basically eating a vegetarian diet, and Michael said vegetarians die sooner than meat eaters.

Of course.  Did I also happen to mention I was in "da hood" enough to where I got to enjoy Fatburger on a regular basis too?

Oh, and Tito's Tacos, Hamburger Hamlet, The Hat, Tacos Mexico--seriously, nothing better than a bunch of 75 cent carne asada and carnitas tacos when you're half in the bag at 3 am after a night of playing poker at The Bike...at least then you're not worried about where the meat came from.

If there was ever a complaint about In N Out, that would be it, but the awesomeness factor of that place is still 99.999 out of 100. 

If you ever get to California, LC, make it one of your first stops.  IIRC, they have a huge one in Vegas as well, not far off the strip just off of Trop.

Just curious since we don't have an In N Out Burger around here, how much does a 10 pattie burger cost?

Ever since some dumbass in Vegas ordered a 100X100 (yes, In N Out would really make whatever you asked for, style, whether or not it was "on the menu"), I think they limit it to 4X4.  However, if they do make a 10X10, it would probably be at least 11-12 bucks.  Last time I looked, a double-double (2 patties, two slices of cheese) is 3 bucks.

I work with a vegan.  All she eats is an apple, chicken noodle soup, and a peach... then barfs it all up in the bathroom.  I've had the unfortunate pleasure of being in the bathroom when she decided to throw up her food.  Anorexic Vegan?  Is there a term for this?  She's stick thin and her bones show... it's just gross.

Or she's not getting enough iron and other essential nutrients to keep her food down.  I knew of a vegetarian try to operate a torque wrench to something like 80 ft-lbs once and ended up breaking his wrist because the bones were so brittle.

Which reminds me of the old joke, "How many Karen Carpenters does it take to change a light bulb?"

"One, if you stack the bones high enough."

I think if you do it right, you can be healthy. Sounds like she is bulimic/anorexic. Awful. That'll kill you alright.

Oh, that's terrible about your co-worker, EC.  I think the most common occurence is a heart attack.  That's what got Karen Carpenter. 

I just think if you went vegetarian like the DUmmies are talking about, you'd go through life feeling starved.  That's no life.  I once went on a cabbage soup diet, like right before bathing suit season.  It's a tomato based soup that you've added all kinds of vegetables to.  You can eat all you want.  I nearly fainted from weakness.  So I said, **** that, and had a damn burger.

I've tried diets like that, but end up pigging out on a Whopper the next day because I am starving.  It's just best for me to stick to a 1,200 calorie diet (with anything I want to eat) and exercise.  It's not like you lose weight really quickly, but I average about two pounds a week.
