Vegan
Monday, January 12th, 2009I am not a vegan, but my girlfriend showed me a book called “Original Fast Foods” that contains a reasonable approach to moving to a largely plant based diet. For flesh eaters, it recommends scaling back significantly on meat – probably a good recommendation for most Americans (since they, on average, get about 50% of their calories from animal sources).
My goal is to live off entirely plant based foods for three weeks. I am currently on week 2. After week three I hope to reintroduce a small amount of meat (mainly fish) into my diet. So far, I have prepared salsas, smoothies, pancakes, shepherd’s pie, lasagna (my favorite to date), and chile.
