Wouldn't it be great if it worked that way? If we could just redistribute fat evenly? Maybe in the future. But since so far we can't even manage to distribute money remotely evenly, fat might be a ways down the road ... :-\

So, here's what I had for lunch. It was vegan since I had leftovers from a vegan buffet I put together over the weekend. Vegan cheese, meat substitute (seitan), sprouts, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, couscous, and a lemon garlic vinaigrette. It was pretty good. However, I got hungry again about 4 pm and, since I was too busy to stop and eat, it was a problem.

Yeah, I would imagine seitan is less filling than meat. When I have my act together (which is only occasionally), I keep shredded chicken or smoked fish on hand for this kind of situation.
Your daughter and her husband are vegans, right? So I assume their kids are, too?
My son became a really strict vegetarian for a while. Luckily, not a vegan. That's really what you have to do if you're avoiding meat for humane purposes, but I didn't tell him that because he was already super strict about avoiding any contact with any dead-animal product. Also I worried about him not getting enough protein, but luckily he was eating eggs and cheese and seitan.
Then one day when he was seeing a doctor I made the mistake of bringing this up in front of him. I asked the doctor if she thought he was getting enough protein. She said yes, but noted that he should be careful not to go overboard with the seitan because of course the soy it's made from is a phytoestrogen.
My son never ate another bite of any soy-related product. Didn't want to grow boobs. ::)
A side note: Here in Minneapolis, there's a vegan butcher! I've never been there, but I've heard it's good.
