Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi, You must have never been to any of the New England states as they live off of lobster, shrimp, crabs, etc. I love them all.

Don't like any fruits unless they are in a blender and can't eat salad because it irritates my stomach. At one time I was buying free range as much as possible but now that I'm on a fixed income that is impossible for me. I guess I'm just going to have to starve. If I could, I'd live on filet mignon, lobster and shrimp. I've been a picky eater since I can remember. My Mom tried everything to get me to eat. I didn't like food at all when I was a child. She fought me about everything. I loved cake and Mcs. Refused to eat anything else. Spent many nights in my room because I just wouldn't eat. She finally gave in and off to Mcs it was! I was very stubborn though. Now my favorites are lobster, shrimp and filet. Halibut is really good too but all these things are expensive.glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Beth!Hey, if my meat eating hunter husband can give up meat, at least for a period time, then anybody can!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yes, I have been to the New England states and love it there! I straightened my diet up after my visit, as it was many years ago.
