Seldom do I see such disciplined writing. Before I finish the rest of this great book, I must point out a serious error - first one I've seen so far - wherein you write:<br /><br />"Yes, eggs are low in fat." FALSE.<br />2/3 of egg calories are from fat.<br /><br />CHEERS,<br /><br />Gerhardt J.

This thinking is so much mine, as well, and I am grateful that you articulated these ideas!<br />I am enclosing a link to my dear friend Bob Thompson's column, which coincidentally coincided with your newsletter, although I'm hardly surprised.<br />I thank you, again and wish you a long and lovely life!<br />file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Shen/LOCALS~1/Temp/x-1390-Chicago-Spirituality-Examiner~y2009m6d18-Is-there-one-true-religion.htm<br />Shenoa Robinsonshenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042172671188307437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-79496992031856667992009-06-10T14:06:53.991-07:002009-06-10T14:06:53.991-07:00You are right on the money Christina.

I have had some funny looks when I say I'm going to try going vegan, so I changed to saying that I am trying a plant-based diet. No funny looks from that one! <br /><br />I found it quite odd. But, oh well!

Not because I have an overwhelming love of animals. I like them their fine but because I see in these other animals us. How we are in terms of creating societies. Every species is different in eating habits. They don't question if the others are right or wrong. Why do we? They just eat what is natural to them. Some apes are vegetarian but not all. There are sea creatures that eat each other. I'm learning to be vegan. Its hard not just in the giving up of foods that I was raised on. But also in that so many Vegans are different in their food choices. Some feature sugar, yes white sugar, in recipes. Others do not. Salt is another issue, as is soy sauce, ketchup, syrup, don't even get me started on the flour and bread issues, each book I read is another change. Is each theory fact or just opnion? So what can I do? Just choose whats best for me and what I like. With the cofusion of different Vegans opinions it is even more difficult. But we choose to see it as an adventure and a way to better our health. We have discovered some fantastic recipes along the way to help enrich our life.Barbara Allen Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971327948183172592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-6164946573616937142009-06-08T06:06:40.625-07:002009-06-08T06:06:40.625-07:00Thank you!

I also find that quite a few groups of online vegans are very protective of their particular path; you either conform (or pretend to) or you get the heck out of their space. They mostly won't even discuss views that differ from their own, and are frequently quite hostile about it. So I used to feel that, since I didn't want to be like them, maybe I couldn't be vegan. Meanwhile, the definition of vegetarian has stretched so much (eggs, dairy, etc.) that it doesn't fit the way I eat, either. And "plant-based" could mean just about anything! The US food pyramid is "plant based", it just doesn't stop with plants!<br /><br />So I consider myself a vegan, garnished with quotation marks.Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447554220964666473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218676778359797868.post-2771063426635111562009-06-07T17:38:54.253-07:002009-06-07T17:38:54.253-07:00I recently bought This Crazy Vegan Life and just b...I recently bought This Crazy Vegan Life and just began reading it. I watched my brother-in-law deteriorate and then die from a massive heart attack from the food choices he made. He was 51. His wife died at 48 one year later. She had sepsis. She got it from a perforation in her intestines due to diverticulitis. She got THAT due to the way she ate. McDonalds 2-3 times a day EVERY DAY for 8 years. Pizza, junk food, a 6-pack of Diet Pepsi a day. Is your stomach turning yet? I'm not the poster child of nutritious eating but I try very hard. I really am leaning more and more towards veganism....in most ways. I still eat fish. Due to a recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis I have stopped eating dairy products and I am now working on a gluten-free diet as well. It's hard. Your book is one thing that is helping me along the way. Thank you for sharing it!
