from an interview with Bill Clinton in the August/September AARP Magazine
"...the way we consume food and what we consume" are driving the unsustainable level of health care spending in America. To truly change the conditions that lead to bad habits and poor health, he warns, "we have to demand it by changing the way we live. You have to make a conscious decision to change for your own well-being, and that of your family and your country." ~ Bill Clinton

I agree with what Bill says entirely, Hilma. I've been on a "diet" for the last month and have really upped my vegetable intake drastically. Then for a couple of days I just ate what I wanted - and guess what I found I wanted? Vegetables! Your entire body chemistry changes once you get healthier and then you feel better eating healthier foods - you even crave them! I haven't given up meat but I must say that from here on out, veggies will be the bulk of my diet.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read in Wikipedia's Complete Protein list of traditional plant-based diets, I got so hungry for a veggie burrito! Mexican cooking has it right - beans/rice/salsa - all. oh. so. good!
