Let’s start with a few more chestnuts from Food Rules:
If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don’t.
It’s not food if it arrived through the window of your car.
Treat meat as a flavoring or special occasion food.
The banquet is in the first bite (eat slowly).
Love it.

I've always heard "nothing with a mother"! I'm working on the no red meat thing, which isn't too difficult, but the no milk products? No cheese? That's a tough one. Have you listened to "The China Study"? It's enough to make me want to change my eating habits, but like I said, it's the no dairy thing that will kill me!!
ReplyDeleteNo red meat is so easy!
ReplyDeleteI agree, no milk is difficult , very. Even if you just cut way down, it helps.
I haven't eaten red meat in 40 years and my children have never eaten red meat .. we are all ridiculously healthy :) So from our own little scientific study, it seems to be good for you.
I agree... not eating red meat is a breeze, even here in Paris (though they sneak it in everywhere! You have to be careful at restaurants). It's the dairy that's next to impossible. I haven't heard "The China Study" but remember "The Skinny Bitch"'s very persuasive argument against dairy. Still, I can't ever give it up. Not only is it too restrictive, I adore cheese, eggs and yogurt too much.
ReplyDeleteCandice, your diet is always an inspiration - plant-made M&Ms and all!
Oh I HAVE to make that soup!!!
ReplyDeletemerci
