Thanks so much for taking time to impart some great knowledge. I've definitely started to go through some of your recipes to find some that will work for me. So much sounds really wonderful.Kevin M.

That's far from true. Many vegs eat far too many grains and far too much sugar and fat. (That's true of meat eaters as well, I should point out!)<BR/><BR/>For example, if cheese and nuts are used as the main source of protein often, that's way too much fat. Variety is key. A little of this with a little of that. <BR/><BR/>A key to point out is that WHOLE grains are what vegetarians need to eat. The only way to make beans or nuts or the such into a comnplete protein is by combining them with whole grains.Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03357174308657673889noreply@blogger.com
