I get it totally IM. That's why I'll not have another Westie. Already had the best one possible, there's no way she could ever be replaced with a substitute.

Exactly.

@Shadrach what do you eat on a daily basis?

It's interesting to me to see how people in different countries eat.

I went plant-based because of medical issues and I think it was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life!

Not dougnuts and ice cream that's for certain.
I'll make a list of the type of things I eat in a bit.

I don't eat those either I'm into lots of veggies, beans, fruits, and sometimes bread.

Well I guess I can't say I don't eat donuts because there is a plant-based donut shop that I go to sometimes for a treat. That's maybe twice a year.

It's easier to write the following.
I still go by the guidance on diet given by my Akido teacher (45 years ago).
One third of the plate should be protein. It doesn't matter much whether it's animal or other. If it is animal then cut any fat you can see out. That means processed meat such as sausages etc should be approached with caution.
I eat very little meat and this has been the case for many in Catalonia until the past 20 years. Before this Catalans in general couldn't afford to eat a lot of meat.
It took me a while to understand when one went out to eat here, most of what you got on your plate was meat. Meat was a luxury meal. Most lived on veg and beans during the week. That would be me now; mostly vegetable and legumes.
The meat I do eat is usually locally hunted.
I eat fish. The frozen fish here is very good and not silly money.
I think my diet is what one might call Mediterranean. Lots of salads, nuts, dried fruit and locally grown vegetables. I've been a vegan and a vegetarian in my life, but now I do eat meat. Sometimes it can take many years to reach a rational compromise.
I don't drink canned drinks, eat potato chips, or snacks.
I do have a sweet tooth right next to the sour one, so I like a bit of chocolate but proper chocolate, 70% or more coca.
I only have to feed myself so that makes what I eat easier to manage. On the down side it's easy to find oneself cooking easy rather than cooking good.

Had a trip to the veterinarian this morning, just ate lunch, and now to the club to feed rabbits and fill my bird feeder.

The way I look at it Mr sourland is if one has been to the vet and been let out then one is having a good day.

I have a motto and it's... Eat to live not live to eat!

Sometimes you'll see me eating a vegan candy or something, but it's rare.

I really try to stick to things that grow out of the ground.

Beans are a main source of protein for me. I don't really like the vegan fake meats or tofu.

I must say I find it incredible that in the richest country in the world decent medical care is either unavailable of unfordable.
Reading BYC paints a pretty horrific picture of diet and life style.

It's a sad reality.

I think a lot of the unavailability comes from where a person lives. Here in Wyoming, there are only a bit over 500,000 people living in the entire state. Not much in the way of big towns either...the largest town only has about 63,000 people (the town I live outside of has 433 people). And things are spread far and wide. So it's hard to attract medical personnel, they most likely are looking for a more lucrative practice (meaning more patients) to either pay off school loans, or have a more affluent lifestyle or maybe to just have a more social lifestyle.

When I lived in NE Kansas, there was more than enough medical people for all types of specialties, 4 year undergraduate colleges as well as teaching hospitals. There was also a much larger population in the surrounding area. Kansas City (Kansas and Missouri) has a very large population and KC is close to NE Kansas...what you couldn't find within a 30 minute drive, you could find in a 1-2 hour drive. Pretty much the same situation existed when I lived in Florida.

So you can't judge the entire country by just one or two areas.
