Hello Masyithoh-ians. :)

The k session + dinner + dessert session yesterday was fun, maybe it's not exciting, but sometimes all we need is just the company and the joyous "feel", right? :)

Anyway, though I'm not sure how many of you would read this entry, I'm really touched that you guys always think of whether there's food for fy (and now me) to eat. I know that yesterday's dinner wasnt that great-tasting, and I felt bad that you guys didnt manage to enjoy the food you want. Sorry. :/

I'm not trying to promote vegetarian-ism here; just to provide some info about it cos I realise that people tend to be confused over what can be eaten and what not. Actually it's all a matter of personal choice, as well as the committment level. For me, I'm not at the highest level yet, I'm just a lacto-ovo vegetarian. :)

What is a Vegetarian?
A vegetarian is someone who chooses not to eat meat, fowl, or fish. There are numerous categories of vegetarians the list comprises of:
lacto-ovo (consume dairy products and eggs), lacto (consume dairy products), fruitarian (only fruits, nuts and seeds), vegan (only products of non-animal origin), raw foodist and macrobiotics.

Some chooses a combination of others as to what they wish to exclude from their diet, like the exclusion of only red meat, but not chicken or fish. They can be considered casual and semi vegetarians.

If any one of you are interested in learning more, do visit this website,http://www.vegetarian-society.org/, or do a google search. :)

An interesting fact- do you know that humans are natural herbivores? Look at the structure of our teeth and you'd realise that our teeth are similar in structure to that of herbivores e.g. horses :)
