Yes, I know we've misspelled "Nutricious". But to my way of thinking, a lot of people misspell "Nutricious" the
same way so, hopefully, doing so will bring them to this site. Opinions can differ as to what is a nutritious diet ... is it an
all-organic diet? A vegetarian diet? A vegan diet? A low fat diet? A low carb diet? Or is it simply a diet that follows the old
food group pyramid?
Here's my story: in early February my wife and I were driving from Orlando to Panama City Beach (Florida). We started listening to
a book on cd we had received for Christmas called The China Study. It's a very persuasive argument for the long-term
health benefits of eating a plant-based diet vs. an animal-based diet. In fact, it was so persuasive that we both became vegans.
Fortunately, my wife is an exceptional cook and was soon making delicious vegan chili, soups, stews, stir fry and more. We now eat
tofu, drink rice milk and slow-cook organic black beans, brown rice and all kinds of other grains and legumes. This was actually
a pretty easy transition ... even though I was a huge lover of cheese, milk, seafood, eggs and chicken. It's a lot harder for my
wife because she travels a lot for business. Eating out and going to dinner parties is more difficult, too (none of our friends are
vegetarians).
