Many of us grew up thinking of, “What piece of meat will I have tonight” and then added a vegetable or two, and maybe a salad.  Others grew up thinking, “Shall I drive through for fast food on the way home, or get home and order fast food delivered?” Both are truly SAD (Standard American Diet) choices and will lead to a decline in your health, as is evidenced by the general decline in the overall population.

 

Eating plant-based is really easy!  Start with thinking “what starch shall I eat?” For example, perhaps brown Basmati rice, or quinoa sounds good.  Next, think “what shall I have to go with that?” It might be a stir fry, a stew, or curry.  Or, you might have leftover rice, and you throw it into a soup or stew. Or, take that same leftover rice or beans and toss them into a green salad with veggies, and perhaps a handful of nuts, seeds, berries – the combinations are endless.
