SO THESE ARE PLANT BASED?
Well the (LESBIAN HOME DINING)event/action went really strangely i enjoyed some of it some of it was eh to me, it was good being with the different wimmin old and new ones. I am always delighted in watching the faces of the new wimmin who for many of them are in wimmin-only-space for the first time, i often wish i could get inside of their heads to hear them thinking. First of all the ambiance was great and i felt great. The food was one of the main topics everyone thought it was superb and every single womon except the new ones wanted to know if i thought the eggs and mozzarella were plant based foods. At first i felt very defensive about having to talk about eggs and mozzarella being there,but the conversation i had had with me alter really helped me through. The womon who asked me the most questions about the eggs and mozzarella said she too was having a very difficult time moving away form eggs and cheese in her diet and one of the things that helped her was egg replacer and nutritional yeast, she did say sometimes these worked for her and when they did not she found herself eating eggs, she also said that her need for eggs dropped when she ate more beans, i thought to myself now that's a real farter. Another womon said she wanted to know how i had rationalized putting eggs and mozzarella cheese out to be eaten by them when we had all agreed on plant based foods being served. I said well those foods were left by wimmin from the last event/action, she said so? If someone had bought chickens would i have served them, i replied i did not think any one would bring chickens and of course i would not have served them. And again she asked what made me served the eggs and mozzarella? I told her that after a lotta of thought i decided to serve them and yes i realized they were not plant based, and yes i remembered that we all had agreed to plant based food. I also said i guess i had made a mistake by serving them but it was a toss up between me eating it in private and not saying anything or serving them and seeing what would happen and eating it with others. The womon said so is that your idea of eating plant based foods it has to done with others but non plant based foods are to be eaten in private. I said no. Then i really did it i said no one had to eat it, and i asked what would she have done. No one said anything when the womon left the food there, so why not why didn't someone object to her bring the food there in the first place and i reminded them no one said anything then. One womon said she would have put it her frig and eaten it by herself since the agreement was on food served at the actions/events and she felt she could and would eat anything she damn well pleased outside of the . Another womon said she thought we were making mountains out of molehills, another said she did not understand how eating eggs and cheese harmed anyone, another said it seemed to her if we all agreed on something in and for the group we should adhere to it, another said she thought that if it was ok to have eggs and cheese then what was wrong with paying a fixed price for the food and allowing some men in the group ? One woman said ok lets start again and lets see if we can get some clarity. So she suggested we vote on it? I ask can we agree on it and forget the voting,another womon wanted to know what was wrong with voting and i said i did not say anything was wrong with voting i just want to know if we could agree on it, the group verbally voted to vote on it. I did not vote i agreed on it. The"it" this wimmin-only-space? yes, plant based foods? yes, money exchange left up to each womon?,yes. Wow and that was on eggs and mozzarella. O were they eaten at the action/event? Yes.
