Anonymous said...: I actually think I mostly do this. Probably 75%, volume-wise, of what I eat is fruits and veggies, beans, whole grains. The rest is cheese, bacon, bread, turkey, sushi, etc. I suppose even sugar and chocolate count as plants, even though I didn't include them in the 75%. I mean, really, everything that's not meat was a plant, in various degrees of processing; December 20, 2008 at 1:10 AM

I agree with the quote...it's a sane way to eat.
Haven't "seen" you in a week so I hope you're well, enjoying the holiday & that you'll be back soon!
If not, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!; December 28, 2008 at 2:19 PM

This Blog"s Philosophy

You are the hero of your own story.

~ Believe in the power of your tale. Step on the glorious path to your true self. Choose your allies with care, then be loyal. Stand before your enemies with courage and stamina. Bow humbly before your King. Listen to the wise counsel of the land's sages, and heed their advice. Whisper your wishes to the wind, for Heaven hears the cry of your heart. Slay the great dread dragons mercilessly, if they refuse to join the cause or leave the kingdom peacefully. Some things can't be accepted in moderation.
~Kiss your prince or princess. Celebrate each day closer to that happy ending with a great big hug. Then share a healthful low-calorie supper with sparkling water to sip, and finish up with ripe berries for dessert. Well, even heroes can't eat everything they want, you know?
~ The ending of this story of your life is up to you.
