I do hope that my blog will provide you with meal ideas in future. Sorry also to hear about your sister. When I first became a vegetarian, I was a not so smart one. I mainly lived on rice, pasta, vegetables and tofu and pizza. Now, I rarely eat pasta and hardly ever tofu. The ideas of Weston Price and Sally Fallon have certainly changed the way I approach food, though I do not strictly adhere to their guidelines. <BR/><BR/>I wonder what would get vegetarians like your sister interested in a site like mine? I do hope to include a wide variety of recipes here, and info, as I also hope to influence and thus change, the way the tofu eating crowd of vegetarians eat in addition to including a satisfying array of information and recipes for the converted :)Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-81237637147210414452007-03-26T19:29:00.000-04:002007-03-26T19:29:00.000-04:00Re: Raw milk bans it seem to me that hindi traditi...Re: Raw milk bans it seem to me that hindi tradition doesn't like pasteurization but rather boiling milk. It's my understtanding that pasteurization tends to crosslink the protein molecules making it harder to digest. I'm not adverse to meat, it's just that I got gout 4 years ago and instead of going on the pill I changed my diet and got rid of all red meats. However, fish and chicken get tiring after awhile. I'm not adverse to a lacto-ovo vegetarianism. I have a sister who is sadly a skinny vegetarian, she has been an actress and model, and frankly, her form of vegetarianism is going to kill her.<BR/>I sent her to your site and she just went... well, what can you do, you pick your friends and bloggers,but family is family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-25512262089324847382007-03-26T19:00:00.000-04:002007-03-26T19:00:00.000-04:00The pet food poison incident is not good, and I'm ...The pet food poison incident is not good, and I'm thankful that my cat was not effected by the recall. Sounds like the manufacturer dealt with a bad source. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what to say about it really, except to say I stay away from processed foods as much as possible and usually only purchase my grains and beans from a very reliable and knowledgeable source. I also rarely eat pasta, and only have eggs and sour dough bread for breakfast, or fresh grains and fruit, like oats or spelt, which I soak overnight. <BR/><BR/>A common problem with the grains used for processed foods, like cereals and granola bars for example, is that the grains used are often rancid. Also, the grains are cooked at such a high heat that most of the nutrients are killed.<BR/><BR/>I suggest you obtain a copy of Sally Fallon's Book, "Nourishing Traditions." You should also explore the Weston Price website - if you haven't already - which I have linked to on the sidebar here and do some google searches for Sally Fallon. They are not advocates of a vegetarian diet, and though I believe vegetarians can acquire all the necessary nutrients they need if they stick to whole foods, I think most of the ideas behind their research are quite sound and sensible. I'm not opposed to eating meat on moral grounds - I just personally find it rather repulsive :) Essentially, they advocate a tradition approach to eating. Ms. Fallon is also an outspoken opponent of raw milk bans.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498332469430544166.post-70488925403723008992007-03-26T18:25:00.000-04:002007-03-26T18:25:00.000-04:00Love to hear your comments Lisa.Re: the pet food, ...Love to hear your comments Lisa.<BR/><BR/>Re: the pet food, rat poison problem.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it has an effect on the rice, and/or grain cereals/pasta here in Canada.
