It's a slow process to convince people to cook (and I know because I spend a lot of time doing it!). <br /><br />Adrasteia, try veggie forms of protein such as tofu, tempeh, beans and nuts instead of meat with your veggies and that will help. And yes, if you're eating a lot of them, veggies are expensive! It's funny you bring up the cost of food because I'm writing a blog entry on that right now. Look for it soon!Autumn Hoverter, MS, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087820645075590464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016171578846575013.post-67245045479072967172012-06-13T10:49:23.958-07:002012-06-13T10:49:23.958-07:00I think they were trying to appeal to as many peop...I think they were trying to appeal to as many people as possible while making the point that fast food isn't a cheaper alternative (obviously your point about organics stands, and that would be interesting to see). People in general don't seem to eat (or like) nearly enough vegetables, which is sad, and they can identify a lot easier with just beans and rice or the chicken dinner, I guess. I've read several articles over the last year or so that have mentioned people with low incomes eating mainly beans and rice. <br /><br />What I would still like to know is how to make yourself full feeling without having to buy truckloads of vegetables if they are the main part of your diet. When Patrick and I eat mostly veggies, we end up eating a TON of them, and that gets expensive quickly. We sort of have to add in more carbs just so we aren't hungry all the time. Maybe more tofu should be added, I don't know. I'd add more meat, but we recently had a very negative experience with salmon, so I'm kind of put off the meat just now.Adrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405575961229611037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016171578846575013.post-43692461423980280832012-06-13T09:33:03.682-07:002012-06-13T09:33:03.682-07:00I think maybe it's a way of getting people to ...I think maybe it's a way of getting people to change their minds slowly? I know many people who are more comfortable making sure there are plenty of carbs in their meal but only have one chopped onion for the veggie. <br />It is too bad about organics, but if we are going to continue to focus on the cost value instead of the health value, organic food will continue to take a back seat.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248327206223128557noreply@blogger.com
