My body does better on meat and vegetables. I think each body is probably different and you have to learn to listen to your own body. I do think our current CAFO (is that the right acronym) of raising and slaughtering animals is inhumane as well as unhealthy (GMO corn fed to the livestocks) and I've tried to go organic as much as I can. Talk about expensive! I have no problem going meatless for many meals though. In looking at the Paleo diet, I found an interesting blog post to those who protest killing an animal. You're killing a plant, as well. And apparently plants have feelings too-I read that James Praagh, the guy who talks to ghosts, can hear plants as well. Something to think about, right? LOL I have a bunch of vegetarian cookbooks, but mine are old and still have a lot of Tofu. I avoid soy products now that more facts are in, although fermented soy is supposed to be okay. It's all very confusing so I try to stick with clean eating as much as possible, and avoid boxed food/fast food as much as I can. Good luck in your quest, it sounds like a good idea!Diana Laynehttp://www.dianalayne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-91538964501871589702014-09-30T14:38:28.154-07:002014-09-30T14:38:28.154-07:00I've heard great things about The China Study!...I've heard great things about The China Study!

Also my family loves meat even though both kids were meatless until age 4. Meatless Monday sounds like a great idea !

I always feel lighter when I eat less meat, but maybe it's all in my head.Rebecca J.

We do eat dairy. One thing I've learned, giving up meat doesn't save THAT much money because fruit is super expensive! So are nuts. Enjoyed your post and I'll check out those cook books. My favorite and the one I cook from the most is The Vegetarian Bible. Here's a recipe for you from my blog: http://jessyferguson.blogspot.com/2012/04/v-is-for-vegetarian.htmlJessica Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320362797117599955noreply@blogger.com
