While it's fun to laugh at ourselves, and probably even more fun to laugh at the vagaries of others, it seems that there is some real misunderstanding about what constitutes vegetarian food.

Dehydrated meats or jerky and dried fruits and dried vegetables can provide the protein, carbohydrates and vitamins needed by active sportspeople on the go. Dehydrated food is lightweight and calorie dense and thus meets the two basic food needs of outdoors and sports people.

But for many families (including mine) that have friends or family members with diabetes (such as my father), those on weight loss programs (such as my sister), or those who simply want to eat more healthfully, the traditional Thanksgiving meal is laden with fat, calories and carbohydrates and can be as difficult as it is joyful.

One thing about eating at home we can prepare our own food based on what we have in the freezer to fix & what you are hungry for on that particular day.

Since that's not possible, we can do the next best thing: food irradiation. Exposure of food to X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation kills the molds, bacteria, and insects that cause spoilage. It delays the ripening of fruits and berries, and thus extends shelf life. In addition, irradiation inhibits the sprouting of potatoes and other foods, which means that they stay fresh longer.

Unfortunately, going without food not only weakens you physically, but it quashes any chance your immune system has at fighting off any viruses-if you're sick.

From vegetables to fruits to produce, we struggle each and every day with the issue of fresh food. And while in an ideal world, fresh would always be an option, we know that in the real world it is not. It is impossible to make it to the grocery store every day for most people, and even when it is possible, it isn't necessarily fun. And as well have all learned at one point or another (or at many points), fresh food goes bad, and all that money we spent on a fine piece of meat or a delicious-looking fruit goes to waste.
