I have never had a rutabaga, but I love turnips. I love most all root vegetables. I prefer
veggies to meat over all. Even tho I am close to it, I am not yet a vegetarian. Probably never
will be one.
I've had several flirtations with vegetarianism through my life. I'm fortunate in that my favourite foods are fruit and vegetables. For many years, the only meat I ate was poultry. Relatively recently, over the past couple of years, I've returned to eating red meat again, albeit sparingly. I still prefer to get my protein from poultry, but also eat lean cuts of red meat also nowadays. I continue to love my fruit and vegies best but occasionally treat myself to something overtly carnivorous, like goulash, which I thoroughly enjoy. Like you, Janice, I'll never be a complete vegetarian, nor would I wish to be these days. I now believe it's wise, for the sake of one's health, to maintain a well balanced diet, consisting of choices from all the major food groups. This is particularly true, I believe, as one reached seniority, like me. We humans are, through evolution, omnivorous.
