And hopefully 10 or 20 years from now, it will better still again.

Thank you.
That's a much better way of looking at it than, "IT'S MINE YOU (expletives deleted) AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

Some shelters have pet food pantries too, so if you're willing to feed canned/dry (I wasn't sure if you were), they might be able to help.

I don't think it's that bad yet, but it's surreal right now and things could change quickly.

Back to the topic... 
When I first became a vegetarian, is was so much harder to go out to eat. Now it’s really unusual to go to a restaurant that doesn’t have vegetarian options.
Absolutely not. Not a bit. Would someone think it was immoral if you took the meat, cooked it and gave it to a human? Of course not. These animals are your family members and they need to eat too. If they offer you the meat, take it, prepare it and give it to them with your head held high. If someone has a problem with that, send them our way. We'll handle it. Once you take the food it is yours to use as you see fit.

Okay, I got the tofu! I just need to know what to do with it. Can I freeze it in portions?

I mostly think about health benefits of meatless diet. Seems vegetarians have less cancer and remain slender which helps with blood pressure and diabetes. I go on and off with vegetarian. I eat mostly poultry and fish - very little red meat. I certainly understand the moral reasons for being vegetarian.

Thank you. I don't think I can fit a baking sheet in the freezer, but I'll see what I can do.
That depends on the nursing home. I was going to have dinner with my mother at the home she was in but they had nothing that was vegan. I was vegan at the time. I just hope I die before I have to go into a home because I will not ever eat meat.

They had tons of vegetarian food when I was in the hospital. They had so many choices, then you just circle what you want. Times have changed. I remember when the only vegetarian option was salad.

I freeze things on baking sheets all the time and they usually fit. If it doesn't, you can get a foil one fairly cheap at the grocery store and bend/cut it to fit.
I use my freezer a lot. To maximize freezer space, I use ziplock bags. You freeze them flat and then when they're solid, you can stand them on their edges and fit a lot in a small space.
I miss my big freezer. I'll probably get a refrigerator sized upright for short-term storage and a big ol' chest freezer for long term when I make my first million, lol.
I love my chest freezer. I bought it at back to school time. I bought it for DD's dorm room and told her it was MINE when she graduated!
I was in the hospital 5 years ago and the only choice I had to eat was oatmeal, bananas, OJ and a small salad. I was there for 3 days and lost 5 lbs. I also need to go for knee surgery on both knees and rehab for a month. I will probably loose 20 pounds.
Can you contact the hospital/rehab and let them know in advance so they can prepare?
I would rather not go through all of that.

They had so many options at my hospital- cottage cheese & pineapple, toast, veggies, salad, veggie burgers, grilled cheese, eggs, veggie broth. Even if you got just a sandwich, they could leave off the meat.
