Why no 'green dot' for vegetarian food?
I AM a vegetarian from India and always have to read through the label on an item or ask food vendors in detail about the food they serve in order to ensure that what I want to eat is truly vegetarian."I do not eat eggs, fish, chicken, et cetera... Uncle/auntie do you have something for me to eat?" Is my common refrain to bakeries and hawkers in Singapore.I see the "halal" certification on a lot of food items.This makes me wonder if there is any reason why the "green dot" (in a square) 100 per cent vegetarian marking used for most Indian food stuffs should not be adopted here.Having this certification will also help promote vegetarianism in Singapore.

The vegetarian cowboy simply didn't work out

It turns out I had hired a vegetarian to be a "cowboy!" I asked my lunch date if maybe he wasn't being a bit hypocritical, like a vegetarian who eats fish and chicken. "A cheeseburger has to have beef in it or it isn't a burger," I explained."Not so," he replied. "How about soy burgers and vegetarian burgers?""If you want to eat hamburgers made from "hydrogenated vegetable protein," I countered, "then you should get a job herding 'tofus' instead of cows."It really upsets me how the word "burger" is being desecrated these days. But I must admit it's all our fault. Many years ago we got off on the wrong foot when we called it a "hamburger" even though it contained no "ham" and our...
