Unsalted sounds not so good. It was when my friend told me, "Your sweet potato chips are disgusting," that I decided that just because they're healthy doesn't mean I should sacrifice deliciousness. 
^ Thanks! Lately, the "processed" foods I have been eating are things like mustard, Rice Chex cereal, Triscuits, hummus, peanut butter, pita pockets or pita bread, and rice milk. Everything else has been fresh fruits and vegetables.I take pride in that I have done a 180 in my eating habits, actually enjoying produce more than I ever have before.
That's a great idea! I've switched from soy to rice or almond milk. I thought my only alternative to cow's milk would be soy, but this thread had really opened my eyes to so many different options. 
Good work, thread.
It gets my tummy rumbling! I'm going to make some for me and the other girl in the play because we're both vegans. The directors told us ahead of time that the goodies would include cookies and crackers and cheese. 
Does anyone here make their own veggie/bean burgers? I need a good recipe.
It's been a while since I've had quinoa. I'm curious about them but I figure there could easily be some really awful brands out there.
That is sort of the downside to being a vegan in certain locations of the States.
)I've only ever been to DC in the States, and the vegetarian food in restaurants was terrible. In alot of places all I could get was green salad or friesToday, I got my town's yearly "Best of Bites 2010" magazine in the paper. Only 2 of the restaurants were vegetarian-friendly. I wish the town would be more aware of more vegetarian -even vegan!- friendly options. A lot of tea houses were listed which pleases me since I love trying different tea flavors. But that doesn't mean anything as far as eating goes.
I'll bet in larger cities there are so many more opportunities to find fantastic places to eat.
In the end I just ate enough at breakfast to keep me going through out the day as it was the meal where I could easily find stuff I could eat.
