as hard as to quit smoking!
I read a book, Diet for a new America by John Robbins last spring and it was
a real eye-opener. I resolved to never eat meat, eggs or dairy food again.
I didn't for about 2 months. I think this will be the "stop smoking"
campaign of the 2000's. Vegetarianism is at its infancy much like the stop
smoking argument was back in the early 60's. It needs to come to the
forefront what the meat-eating lifestyle is doing to us, just for the fact
that a steak "is not your Fathers steak anymore". How beef, chickens, etc.
are raised is appalling and is going to bring about massive health problems
in the coming years. I still eat very little meat, eggs, etc but am not what
you would call a vegetarian. I think I'll tackle one health problem at a
time (smoking) but will most definitely do the vegetable thing again.
Read the book, like I said, it is a real eye-opener!!

reading. You are inspiring me to at least contemplate
making some significant changes in my diet - I'll try
the soy milk, never had it before. If anyone is interested
I've found a great cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking for
Everyone. Many recipes are vegan (which is what RK is
aiming for). The book is by Deborah Madison, author
of The Greens, another cookbook.
I hope you will continue writing these articles,
Roadkill - I suspect you're inspiring lots of us.

: I decided early on in the class, that I was going to try being a
: vegetarian. At least a little bit. I hadn't known until the first
: night, that this was going to involve the REAL VEGETARIAN diet. At
: first, I would go in the kitchen and stand there bewildered.
: Everything I thought to have normally was not ok. The weekly lessons
: went on.
: So I'd grab a carrot or a piece of celery and felt very lost--I
: remember one noon when I couldn't think of anything I could make, I
: cooked and ate a plateful of collard greens for lunch. Then I bought
: a box of soy milk for my cereal.

: I decided that I was going to have to put more effort into this thing.
: I was going to have to try those weird recipes with ground up cashews,
: even if it meant I might waste most of it. I was going to have to buy
: fresh vegetables, and get those weird ingredients like Braggs Aminos,
: and polenta, in fact, learn to cook all over again.
: I knew me. If I didn't find things that were agreeable to me, I would
: never stick with it, nor ever perhaps make it past the first week. I
: knew from the potlucks at their church one could make good-tasting
: stuff.
: So on a frequent basis, I trashed my kitchen, dirtying up every bowl,
: pot and pan.
: Shortly after the classes had started, I thought to get a blood test.
: The last physical I'd had about a year or so earlier, my cholesterol
: was kinda borderline-high, it was 229. I thought it might be fun to
: see if anything changed as a result of changing my diet. I was not
: too happy to see the dumb thing had gone even higher.
: The following results tell the story better than any words.
: Oct. 5, Nov. 12 Dec. 1
: 242 229 168 cholesterol
: 59 49 57 HDL
: 85 n/a 57 Trig.
: 166 n/a 100 LDL
: 2.81 4.7 1.7 LDL:HDL Ratio
: My goal is to reach the cholesterol levels found in those developing
: countries, and that have little heart disease, little osteoporosis,
: etc.. and not nearly the advanced standard of living as found in the
: US! Living in the richest country in the world, Americans have the
: poorest diet, and despite the advanced health care system, etc....the
: shortest lifespan. (There's qualifications here, like controlling
: infectious disease, etc..that I won't go into)
: What I have learned in reading these tests is, while the other
: readings are of mild interest, no matter what one's doctor/nurse may
: tell you, the Cholesterol number is the most important. They have
: told me that my "good" cholesterol cancels out my "bad"
: cholesterol---Wrong! That so called "good" chol. is nothing more than
: garbagemen. And when you have a lot of garbagemen, what that really
: says is you've got a lot of garbage flowing through your blood, and
: that is not good.
: This cholesterol thing is a terribly important indicator of one's
: health--and not just for the heart, but it has a ripple effect for all
: sorts of things, like diabetes, M.S., a whole host of things--like a
: thermometer may not tell one what exactly the problem is, but that
: something's not right if the reading is too high.)
: What I've learned is that our livers make all the chol. we need,
: without any "free" oil ("Free" oil means oil that has been "freed,
: liberated" from olives, corn, etc...and to show how concentrated that
: single tablespoon of oil is, is it takes 13 ears of corn to make a
: tablespoon of oil.
: Oil, lard from animal sources is just plain deadly to the
: cardio-vascular system.
: (Restaurants love lard--not only is it cheap, but it's a
: flavor-enhancer.) I consider it almost impossible for Americans not
: to have an uphill fight with weight due to what's happened in the last
: 40+ years in food processing)
: That trying to keep the "freed" oil consumption down to only enough to
: keep food from sticking, or using a spray oil. That humans get ALL
: THE OIL/FAT THEY NEED from seeds (sunflower seeds, etc.) avocados,
: olives. You see, what happens is this: anytime oil is consumed, the
: liver gets all excited and MAKES cholesterol. That's one of it's
: jobs. But it's supposed to do this from the original state of the
: vegetables that contain fiber, etc.., and it's too stupid to realize
: it's responding to Wesson Oil, corn oil, and not 13 ears of corn,
: etc...
: Milk is liquid meat. Plus they're both without any fiber, as is oil,
: and all animal products.)
: But nutrition is a relatively new science, and an exciting one for
: scientists and total frauds alike.
: I was brought up to believe that the more protein in one's diet the
: better.
: But now science points to studies that indicate that too much protein
: makes the liver overwork and causes stress, and now saying that on 50
: g. a day is best. It is almost impossible to not exceed that figure
: just getting one's protein from an all-plant diet. Same with calcium.
: Broccoli is amazing. So are carrots.
: I learned that countries with a high standard of living, with more and
: more processed food, handled by more and more people, is a high risk
: way of living. The long the list of fine print on that package, the
: greater the risk the manufacturer is putting something in there for
: THEIR benefit, not the consumers.
: Stake one's life on science that's been subjected to peer-review, and
: published in medical journals, and not on, "well, it worked for Aunt
: Agatha...."
: I learned that the new cholesterol-reducing drugs like Zocor, are
: miracle drugs, just like the invention of penicillin. They work, and
: are saving lives. It used to be a cholesterol of 190 being considered
: still within a normal range for Americans. They've raised it to 200
: for the upper limits. But years ago 200 was considered dangerous.
: (What that 200 really should be interpreted, as far as I'm concerned
: is 200 is typical for people who are on an bad diet.) It used to be
: considered that one's cholesterol was a permanent thing--that diet
: could not change it in any way, and had no role in heart disease,
: anyhow...(this 50 years ago). But now there's a way to reverse the
: harm one has done--and it takes only 14 months--I find this to be
: miraculous, and just a heck of a good deal.
: I learned that there's a definite correlation between one's diet and
: lifespan. Eskimos eat an all-meat/fat diet. They also have the
: shortest life-span of 30 years, and that any person in living in the
: northern hemisphere has 10 times the likelihood of living to 100 year
: than the American Eskimo. The winners in this deal are the Okinawans,
: and the Hunza (poor birth records there, tho)...
: Anyway, these statements represent what I've learned, and based on
: published scientific studies and findings, not on unfounded claims.
: One cardiologist told his patient, "Diet & exercise--a total lifestyle
: change is required for you to get better--but I have to be honest with
: you--changing your diet will be responsible for more than 80% of the
: results, and exercise more like 15% of the results. So just changing
: your diet will work, but you put the two together makes it really
: effective......"

Yes! I read an article about this in the NY Times a few weeks ago! The
companies who did all the research and development for the GE veggies
already sunk so many billions of dollars into this project that they
purposely kept the topic hush-hush. They were afraid of the controversy (go
figure). Might still have it printed out here somewhere, they charge you to
download old articles (bestids).

You're lucky. I beep when I go backwards and have to have traffic
stopped when I walk onto busy junctions!
I so fat, people can see my butt from the front and I have more chins
than a Hongkong telephone directory. In fact when God was handing out
chins I thought he said "Gin" so I said I'd have a double.

Mmm, I love babaganouj! And humus. Mmmmmmm. I've been getting braver
about trying new (and healthy) foods, so I better get some lentils and a
screen door. I'll have the first apartment door with a screen. My
neighbors are already wondering about me. Lentils actually have a different
trigger for me, my mother used to make a lentil soup with tons of garlic and
little pieces of kielbasa in it. There was a great Ukranian butcher not far
from us . . . Sigh. Kielbasa cravings of all things! Well, I quit smoking,
I can at least try a decreased-meat existence. Thanks for those recipes
(and sprouting instructions)! Sure sound good. Maybe I'll try finding some
Indian recipes too, lots of good dishes with chickpeas out there.

I assure you I know a number of vegetarians of various ilks. When I was in
college and we had to take a potluck dish to a party, it was assumed that the
dish would be meatless. It is standard when having company for dinner for the
first time to ask if they are vegetarian, and to at least provide a vegetaran
alternative at a buffet or business lunch.
I'm not a vegetarion myself (and won't be until they come up with a vegan
alternative to prime rib. Mmmmm.) but I eat very little meat, and can throw
together a vegen meal with little effort. My favorite "complete protein" is a
split pea soup with rice seasoned with Marjoram that will knock your socks
off. :-)

Wasn't joking in the least! As a Californian......
thought it would be a kind of "stereotype" joke
for thems as is not in the golden state. Meself,
while not vegetarian, still only eat meat once
a week or so, fish once a week or so...rest of the
time it's the veggies, pastas and legumes for me!
I just feel better....and besides it's also economical to
eat vegetables in California. Learned many years
ago that you can take home tons of your own food
from a pot-luck unless you bring something meatless.

Well, Sas, first you should take "baby steps" Vegan is a very different
animal than vegetarian. I personally am a vegetarian. Vegans eat
absolutley no animal products at all, and typically are the people that
make others wary of vegetarians in general. No cheese, Milk, Dairy even
Honey is off limits to the true vegan. Try Vegetarian first, just avoid
all red meat for a month or so to prepare. Then cut out the poultry and
fish. After a very short time, maybe a month or so, you will be able to
tell a drastic difference in your energy level, and general feeling of
better health. I promise you will tell how bad meat is for you if you
slip up and eat a burger at this point, it will feel like a big lumpy
rock in your tummy. Your digestion (always a fun subject to discuss,
no?) will improve with every passing day, until things like heartburn
and indigestion will be a faint memory. Heres an extremely easy lasagna
recipe I use for company or whenever I want something in the fridge to
munch on for a few days:
Ingredients:
-one big box of those lasagna noodles. I like Barilla personally, but
whatever....
-One of those large styrofoam thingies full of baby portabello mushrooms
-A bundle of fresh spinach
-a couple of zucchinis or yellow squash. mix em up if ya want, I do
-A large jar of Ragu Chunky Garden Style Garden Medly (? I tink...garden
something)) Spagetti Sauce
-two small cans of tomato paste
-A large tub of Ricotta Cheese
-two bags of shredded Mozzerella cheese
-A clove of garlic
-the usual italian spices (oregano, basil, parsley)
-One of those wacky glass casserole dishes
(ok, I'm not one of those measuring cooks, I just wing it, so be patient
with my recipe......)
First mix some of the mozzerella and parsley with the ricotta and set
aside. mix it to where its kinda lumpy but still spreadable. You can
heat the ricotta just a LITTLE BIT in the microwave if it's really cold
and hard to mix. Mix the tomato paste in with the ragu, to thicken it
and add a little tomatoey flavor, then put in as much italian spice as
you might think you'd like to the sauce. Pour about a third of the sauce
in a seperate bowl. Clean and chop the spinach up into fairly smallish
bits and mix with the sauvce you set aside. You should have enough
spinach chopped and mixed to fill about an inch layer in the casserole
dish, so eyeball it and adjust if needed. Chop the zucchini or other
squash up rather finely, into 1/4-1/2 inch chunks. Boil your noodles
like it says on the box and drain appropriately. I find laying the
noodles out on waxedpaper is helpful to keep em from sticking together
or breaking. Use a spoon to just wet the bottom of the glass pan with
the unspinached sauce, then lay down your first layer of noodles. spread
about a half inch layer of your ricotta/mozz/parsley stuff over the
noodles and follow with a small amount of sauce. Next layer of noodles.
layer of spinach sauce stuff. Sprinkle mushrooms and squash pieces over
the spinach stuff. then continue to layer somewhat as so: Sauce.
Noodles. Cheese from the shredded bag. Sauce. Noodles. last of
mushrooms/squash/spinach. noodles. last of ricotta mixture. almost all
of the last of the sauce. squeeze the garlic through a press over the
whole thing for zest. last of the noodles topped with last of sauce
sprinkled with last of shredded cheese. I like to put a couple of pieces
of spinach leaf on to for decoration, if I'm going to serve it to
someone. Pop that bad boy in the oven for about an hour at @275-300,
pull out and let sit for about a half hourand as my four year old would
say : WA JAH! It's ready to go.

Not yet Sassy. Hang in there!

flavoring has been wrong every time. Maybe somewhere there is a meatless
sausage that tastes truly Cajun, but I can't find it in Marysville - and this
recipe is very much influenced by the sausage flavoring. I would be happy for
input in that direction, since this would be a fun dish to take to parties.
1 lb each medium shrimp, chicken breast (cut in strips) and Cajun Hot Sausage
(prefereably lowfat,.sliced)
2-3 each red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and medium onions, very coarsly chopped
1-2 jalapenos (with or without seeds, depending on your tolerance level and
it's heat, sliced)
3 T dried or 1/2 C fresh thyme
3-4 cloves garlic
About 6-10 C chicken or vegetable stock
4 C rice (measured raw, cooked in 6C water)
3 lbs tomatoes, coarsly chopped
Cook chicken and sausage in very large skillet. I use my Magnalite 12" x 4"
deep frypan. Add shrimp, veges, and thyme, and cook together for about 5
minutes. Then add stock and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 of
rice and simmer another 1/2 hour. Add more stock if necessary to cover rice.
Then add tomatoes and cook about 15 minutes. Serve on large platter on bed
of remaining rice. This recipe will make enough for about 8 moderate eaters,
it goes fast. If you are serving this for a smaller group, then make the full
recipe and keep in fridge with the rice mixed in and have for lunches. It's
even better the second day. Enjoy.
