Great post! I’ll probably blog something similar later.

I also think the protein concern is bunk. I fell for it at first, and was making sure I was eating plenty of beans, nuts, and soy-based foods. But after I stopped paying attention to how much protein I was consuming, I began to add a lot of weight and repetitions to my strength workouts and my waist melted away while I added noticable bulk in my upper body. I no longer believe one has to “try” to eat a lot of protein on a vegetarian diet to add muscle mass.

Several good cookbooks by Robin Robertson address vegetarian cooking with a lot of variety of ingredients and flavors. Two of my favorite as a former meat-lover are “Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes” and “Vegetarian Chili”. Both have dozens of variations of these typical meals. “Some Like it Hot” is chock full of dishes spiced from around the world. I also see online that she has a vegan book with international recipes and a new one due in November called “One Dish Vegetarian Meals” Finally, she also has a “Carb-Conscious” cookbook that I have yet to open up to get beyond the typically grain-based alternatives.

I think the main problem in the diet is wheat – it causes fatigue which creates desire for sugar, caffeine and more wheat

white rice does not do this – nor do potatoes

though I agree we need to keep caloric consumption down – something relatively easy in a diet without wheat

btw, there is some deabate about fish being the spark of bigger brains – some feel it was tubers – which gave more energy for more work

there is disagreement about fish being the bigger brain spark – some feel it was tubers, which created more fuel for more work

potatoes btw completely blow away all other foods on the satiety index

My main comment re veget. diet and colon cancer follows Mark’s article, “Escape form Vegan Island”. But, here I want to say that eating in our house is never boring with our veg. diet. There are too many veggies to include in salads, a stir fry or (when it’s cold) soups for it ever to be the same. I never cook or “salad” the same combo. It’s in the engineering background to be creative at all times.

This cartoon made me laugh out loud as my allergic ds (dairy, soy, egg white, wheat, malt) asked me the other day “Mom, where does rice milk come from?” Thanks for the chuckle!
