Five Drawbacks to Being a Vegan
Love this article and all the comments! I agree that we use far too much toilet paper in our country. My husband and I have never used TP for voiding. Rags work well for this and the toilet doesn't need flushing unless it's "brown" then it goes down. I like the idea of the bidet which is cleansing as well as eliminating TP.
Drawback to being Vegan? After 30 years of being one my list is long but here's a short one; always getting a diatribe about how someone hates vegetables especially ..... and they just couldn't possibly be limited to just eating veggies. These are also usually people who don't like to read and profess to adore all animals.
American Urologist Association: PSA Tests No Longer Recommended
Nearly all tests are unnecessary. Many are far from accurate and can also be misleading. If people practiced self health care, many tests would be obsolete. We should be aiming for quality of life through peaceful and healthful eating incorporating exercise and good choices.
As a side note, my friend's husband who passed away last year received a colonoscopy less than 10 months before he was diagnosed with colon cancer which was so advanced he couldn't be treated. He was a heavy smoker and meat eater.
Make your own Lara Bars
Great and thanks for the Trader Joe cherry tip! I'm a fanatical home cook that will use NO oils and have now started using Baking Stevia for some baked items. It's a different taste but is definitely sweet and just a little goes a very long way. For my Brownies I find the dark choc. chips (vegan of course) add enough sugar along with a little Stevia for a sweet treat. And apple sauce provides the "oil" for the recipe. Keep the good recipes coming!

Exactly. Why oh why are we such a nation of FADS? What should be basic common sense when it comes to what we put into our mouths, we turn into fads. Remember the '80's when Pasta was first discovered? You couldn't switch on a radio/TV or pick up a paper or magazine without seeing 1001 ways of preparing pasta - "and it's good for you" was the hysterical mantra. NO IT ISN'T. It's processed, it isn't a whole grain even if it may be processed with a whole grain. I embrace the sentiment of Neal Barnard and other scientists in that we shouldn't be consuming processed fats such as olive oil. Get fat from eating whole nuts, seeds, avocado's etc. A whole foods plant based diet is good sound common sense and helps keep us away from the profiteering medical conglomerate.
