More interesting books

I am reading Breaking the Food Seduction by Neal Barnard, MD and Food over Medicine by Pamela A. Popper, PhD, ND.  Both are worth reading and I feel like I am being informed about a lot of vegetarian choices.  I have no desire to ever go back to eating meat, cheese or dairy products of any kind.  I feel better with my vegetables, whole grains, beans, and fruit.  Try it, you'll like it.

There is so much information about how the dairy and meat produces, i.e.. corporate farmers, through their groups influence the research that says meat and dairy are good for us and the government goes along and promotes this nonsense.  These corporations pour millions of dollars into research. to legislators pockets, and to government agencies to have their products appear safe and good for people.

The China Study and simular books

I am reading the China Study by T. Colin Campbell and finding more evidence for a vegetarian lifestyle.  Lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, freedom from disease such as heart attack, cancer and diabetes.  Also it helps the planet to reduce our consumption of meat as the same acreage that produces a cow for meat can produce so much more delicious veggies to eat.  My biggest problem still is sweets and pasta. 

I also just finished reading Vegan for Her another vegetarian book.  I have problems with feeding other people in a vegetarian way so I find myself drawn into eating in wrong ways.  For instance, I am having a birthday party for my husband today and they menu includes so many foods that I don't normally eat, but I am willing to feed them to my family and friends.
