I can understand your typical- and I us...Hi Miss N-<br />I can understand your typical- and I use that term in the least offensive way possible- lack of benevolence towards "animal issues"; it's a societal standard. However, if you are serious about healthful nutrition, I implore you to further evaluate your dietary habits. To quote Dr. Neal Barnard, President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine-- <br />"There are several significant health gains for people following a 100% plant-based diet. First, a vegan diet is heart-healthy. Because there is no animal fat, there is no cholesterol. A second advantage is that a vegan diet eliminates casein, the dairy protein which is found in milk. Casein is a common trigger for rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain. People often find that their pain disappears when they refrain from eating dairy products. A third advantage of the vegan diet is that the food has a high fiber and vitamin content which helps people who are overweight to drop the extra pounds and lower their blood pressure." Additionally "Studies suggest that free radicals [toxic molecules that form in the body] contribute to aging. A vegan diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, is full of antioxidants which help protect the body from damage by free radicals." To conclude, I do very much respect you, your blog and certainly your opinions and I appreciate the reciprocation. My comment(s) were merely to incite an informative dialogue; in which I feel we both succeeded. Thanks for a cool blog. PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND MERRY X-MAS!!!JOHNBARONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873969076522094654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815700474477154810.post-47007151752233274332012-12-23T07:51:33.733-05:002012-12-23T07:51:33.733-05:00I am a vegetarian, NOT a vegan.

Please respect my opinions as I do yours. As it turns out, many of my recipes are vegan. Peruse them, skip the offensive ones. Enjoy the excellent ones. I highly recommend my tuna-less salad and my vegan Alfredo sauce, a fabulous dish. Also don't overlook my many recipes featuring my home grown greens. Organic I might add! <br />Happy Holidays!Deborah Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998189343410963057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815700474477154810.post-13545617233207145512012-12-23T00:22:56.269-05:002012-12-23T00:22:56.269-05:00How is this "vegetarian"?

Maybe try complete veganism; as opposed to copping out with other cruelty-laden recipes under the guise of being vegetarian. Uncool.<br />Happy holidays....JOHNBARONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873969076522094654noreply@blogger.com
