When I was a kid, one of my friends fathers was a vegetarian. I didn't like going to their house cause there was nothing to eat. I was amazed at all the supplement pills his dad had to take to keep his body nourished. He had a whole table full of them.
There is a large Seventh Day Adventist population around here. In fact, Keene is largly populated by them. Used to be no one in the town sold anything kind of meat. They had a grocery store that was pretty good, Harvest Market. There is a college there, too, call Southwestern Adventist College. The food at the student union is very good and vegetarian. Had a friend once that was vegan. No cheese, eggs, milk... Funny thing is, he drank whiskey and smoked cigs and weed. When he would come to the house, always at dinnertime, it seemed, he would never eat anything I cooked, as he was afraid there might be some animal fat in it. I finally told him to quit coming over at dinner if he was not going to sit and eat with us. I also told him that if he was going to drink and smoke, he might as well eat a big ol' steak.
The Adventists go to church on Saturday and it used to be, I don't know if it still is, that everything was closed. All the businesses, no mail was delivered, (they get mail on Sundays there), and even the laundry rooms in apartment buildings were locked.
In the past five years, they have gotten a Sonic and a Subway there and they sell meat. Must be going downhill in Keene.
