"The Vegan's 100 Food List"

By -

I just finished the documentary "Vegucated" (2010) this morning (see: http://www.getvegucated.com/), and have decided to start exploring veganism for the next 7 days.

I found a food list to start from a website that does not seem to be particularly research-based, but sets the pace as far as its counterparts are concerned. As much as I have loved learning about nutrition in the last few years the, "Animal Liberation Front", is an entirely different ball game. Let's see what we can find.

    Been thinking of this same subject myself. Check out a book called The China Study. It's one of the strongest cases for correlation between eating meat and cancer that has ever been done. If that's not enough, consider this: it costs about 500 liters of water for every 1 kilogram of potatoes; about 1900 liters for every 1 kilogram of rice; and--get this-- 100,000 liters of water for every one kilogram of beef. That means one kilogram of beef is equivalent to 200 kilograms of potatoes (with respect to water). And a feedlot-raised-cow is a helluva lot more than 1 kilogram!!! So how many people on the planet are going hungry because one person is eating a steak? It's astronomical and the numbers make a moral case for vegetarianism in themselves.

    Any chance that WP can support it?

    Funny you mention the China Study...before today I hadn't heard of it once, but you started the first of three references including this documentary. It happens to be $4.45 on Amazon- I think we have a winner.

    The numbers are too real to be anything but. It's funny to think you starting me out on recycling made me ride a moped for a year, buy Tom's, start juicing, take "military" showers, and now experiment with veg. and veganism. I still roll my plastic sacks (if I get them at all :), and if you can believe it, am considering getting a puppy soon (right!?). I was laughing at the playing cards when I read them again the other day, so perfect. Thanks for the flame Cosmonaut.

    WP definitely supports it, but the problem here is the problem everywhere--culture. When is the last time you saw the Rock enjoying a tofu burger? And would you still love your boyfriend if he took you out to a nice Valentine's day salad? It sounds shallow, but it is what it is.

    My question for you, as you know much more about nutrition than I: is it possible to get the same amount protein and same muscle-building results WITHOUT animal products?

    Lucky for us, we live in the U.S. and there only seems to be "capitalistic" culture...so vegetarian/vegan doesn't seem as daunting. In other parts of the world, India for example, vegetarianism IS the culture, or at least other forms of diet restriction (beef). In Hollywood, it's jello, in gyms it's chicken and rice and veggies and juice...in Crossfit, the "raw" caveman diet is becoming popular. All over the world these subcultures have been created and for good reason. Some crazy, but at least an effort is being made in good purpose.

    There are many, many, many ways to get adequate protein sources without animal products, especially nowadays. With technology at the rise, more products made out of brown rice, hemp, soy, etc. are being manufactured for just these purposes. Do a quick search for the vegetarian and vegan food pyramids- the meat category is replaced with lentils and meat substitutes. Granted you won't be seeing these individuals step on the Olympia stage (due to more reasons than one), but yes, it can be done. List from Wiki of famous vegans...and darn it, you're right, I don't see the Rock making the cut:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegans

    Remember what Dan said about health and fitness being available in a pill by the year 2050? Well, it's happening...more meal replacement products, supplementations are making this idea of not eating meat more available to the general public. Ultimately, eat raw and organic seems to be the goal, but in the transition of doing so, these products are key to educating and learning this non-cultural way of life. If we can do it in time before the Earth's resources are caput (sp?).

    In the next few days I am going to be trying out a lot of different products that make this possible. Will post an update after. Until then, take advantage of that salad bar- dark greens make the top of the list on EVERY advantage in the health sector.

    Did you know there is a line of supplements now called "Jeykll and Hyde." Had I thought of that 5 years ago I'd been rolling in dough now. I think Dan foresaw more than just meat replacement with supplements... Soon we will take all of our daily nutrients with a single pill and cooking will become recreational, just like exercise.

    I had an inside tour of bb.com's headquarters in BOI over break. It's nothing I would ever want to do, but jee wiz if there ever was a company that had its poop in a group, it's THAT company. The CEO is a visionary.

    Are you still taking your supps? I feel like the military could really take advantage of something like this..OR...you could. There is such a call for performance, enhancement, sustainability, etc. maybe you could be the next visionary to the pipsqueeks coming in to their first bootcamp...and the heroes coming out of their hopefully not last booktcamps.

To Become a "Light"er Traveler

I have always fancied at the notion of being a one-suitcase kind of Journeywoman.  One backpack complete with passport, cash, a few random clothes and underwear, something to read and a small snack and water for sustenance and you are Off to quite an array of destinations- healthy blood sugar levels included.  But of course, that's never how it used to work with me (or most women for that matter).  Boy do I have news for you...as I was classicly cruising down Keahole Drive with a recently purchased pineapple sticking discontortantly out of my backpack as my designed-for-all-island-wear sundress (my one answer to random clothes that work well in warm-weather climates...you can honestly wear them ANYWHERE that requires clothing) was flittering up around my the tops of my knees, I realized, looking down at the Nalgene crammed in the registration compartment of my 'Ped' and feeling the weight of everything (save a scoop of laundry deter...

In Christianity, the beginning of Time was birthed by the choice of man; man choosing knowledge, choosing power over the own Creation of his soul.   As this choice was made, the closing of our spiritual eyes and the beginning of Time became our reality.   Thus Time, or “a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present to the future” was born.   We must wonder what the world looks like without the restrictions of Time… Spiritual leaders who have originated in all walks of life, such as Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, and countless others, allow us to realize the immensity in which life connects itself to all other life.   (There must be a reason why all good ideas are repeated over and over and over again through classic literature, theatre, motion picture, our own minds…they have always, and will always Exists.   We in turn are only able to look at them in different groupings, different light, different Time.   This is why...

"Way of the Warrior"

By -
In the Samurai’s Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior”, nobility was a way of life.   Emphasizing “frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor unto death” were the main characteristics for this moral code.   (“When the cause is great, victory is that much sweeter”).   This chivalric philosophy, stemming from Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, seems to balance Self Discipline and a Freedom of the Mind with a hard ease.   Honor above all else .   In this day and age, I like to believe that the Samurai’s Bushido can still be applied to modern philosophy.    But I feel we must first define what it is that we are actually fighting for.   (For the Samurai it was the right to protect their people, to give loyalty to their master and to adhere to their way of life.   For us- (should we even have to pause to think about this answer?)?) When a Samurai became disloyal to the Bushido it was punishable by death.   One sword plunge into th...
