Science based recommendations for a food pyramid. Less trendy and more science based than what has been recommended by the US HHS.

It’s so fascinating when sauerkraut goes wrong! When you make sauerkraut, don’t be lazy… Make sure all of the cabbage is down below the waterline!
Time to buy a new cabbage!

What a lovely lady Pamela Anderson is. We recently watched her documentary called “Pamela, a Love Story” as well as her new movie “The Last Showgirl”. Highly recommend both.

For decades, has been a vocal animal-rights activist, participating in a number of campaigns with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals () in which she used her 'Baywatch' notoriety to bring attention to issues such as the cruelty of meat production, the fur trade, and more. https://vegnews.com/pamela-anderson-naked-animal-rights

Just picked up this delicious breakfast fruit and seed sourdough bread made with organic ingredients at Mike's Orchard made by The Sinful Slice 👌

I love supporting local farms. I also picked up six apples, three peaches, two oranges and a lemon for four dollars! 🤯

I’m not one to think about whether I’m getting enough protein, but since someone asked me the other day, I thought I would just do a tally on how much protein is in this breakfast.

When I add it up, it comes to 25 grams. A woman my age and weight is “supposed” to get 55-60 grams of protein per day.
Not difficult to attain on a plant-based diet. Don’t let someone fool you into believing animal products are necessary.

Think:

Tempeh (one of the highest at 31 grams/cup)
Tofu (18 grams/cup)
Lentils (18 grams/cup)
Beans (15 grams/cup)
Chickpeas (15grams/cup)
Nuts and seeds
Grains
Quinoa (8 grams/cup)
