1 Vegetarians today
So you want to be a vegetarian, but you're not sure how to start?
Thanks to so many people cutting out animal products, going
vegetarian has never been easier. There are hundreds of vegetarian
foods to fit every taste. You'll find foods you love - and you'll
look better, you'll feel better, and you'll know that your diet
is cruelty-free. Beginning any new lifestyle can be hard. Don't
try to do everything at once. Doctors say it is better if you
begin by "vegging up" meals you already eat, like
making spaghetti with tomato sauce and not with meat sauce.
Try veggie burgers - they taste close enough to the real thing,
you may want to try several different brands to find the one
you like best. Many canned soups that you know already are vegetarian,
like bean soup and vegetable soup. Try vegetarian baked beans
and different kinds of pasta. Vegetarian cookbooks show you
what you can do yourself. For example, tofu, made from soybeans,
picks up the flavors of the food you cook it with. You can use
tofu in just about anything. Eating out? Even if nothing on
the menu looks vegetarian, just ask - most restaurants will
prepare their dishes without meat. Try Chinese or Indian or
Mexican restaurants; they usually have more vegetarian food
than others. Remember that by going vegetarian, you've chosen
a way of living that is good for your health, your money, and
your soul. Congratulations!
2 Genetically changed food ("USA Today", March
6, 1997)
There's a war on in Europe, and most Americans have not heard
about it. It is about something very basic to human life: our
food. Why are we so uninformed when Europeans are angry and
their governments stop importing genetically changed foods?
A genetically cloned sheep has stolen the headlines. But with
each passing day, we eat foods which have been changed genetically,
without our knowledge. In Europe, Supermarkets have promised
that they will label these foods clearly. Why do people fear
these new foods? Foods altered by genetic engineering often
contain substances that have never before been part of the human
diet: proteins from bacteria and viruses and, in the future,
proteins from insects, scorpions and people. There is no way
to tell whether those foods are safe to eat. And our government
does not test them. Genetically modified foods that have been
approved or are under development in the USA: Apples, Rice,
Beans, Stawberries, Corn, Cucumbers, Sunflowers, Lettuce, Tomatoes,
Melons, Potatoes.
3 Veggies: Fresh or processed
Frozen or canned vegetables are just as good food as fresh vegetables,
says a new report. In a study of cooked corn, carrots, broccoli,
and green beans, the levels of vitamins were similar. It did
not matter if the vegetables were frozen, canned, or refrigerated.
"Your mother was right," says Barbara P. Klein at
the University of Illinois. "You should eat your vegetables,
but you shouldn't worry about what form they come in, because
they're all equal from the standpoint of our studies."
As many as 25 days pass from when "fresh" vegetables
are picked to the time they get to the dinner table, says Klein.
On the other hand, frozen and canned vegetables are processed
within hours of picking, and vitamins are "locked in",
she says.
