types of protein was:Report on Denise's dinner

September 30, 2005

Oh, yeah. I had a guy at my last job in Oregon tell me that your body

requires a certain protein that can only be acquired by eating beef. I

told him that was a lot of propaganda from the cattleman's

association, which really got him cause his dad is a rancher! Of

course, then I tried to ask him about all the people around the world

who are vegetarians (such as Buddhists) and how they happen to survive

without the " beef " protein. Of course, he couldn't answer that and I

think he just mumbled something and changed the subject. I know that

there is an amino acid that only comes from beef but you won't die if

you don't get it. And as long as you incorporate legumes and grains in

your diet than you'll be getting complete proteins.

Silly people....but you can't argue with them.

yeah! and actually you don't even need the legumes if you eat other stuff.

I don't eat much legumes except for maybe peas once a week. I really do want to start eating more though, I just need to follow some recipes here.

tonight I had a sinus headache due to my allergies and nasal problems and all and my mother called me. I told her I had to go because I had a terrible sinus headache, and she said the reason I had the sinus headache is that I don't eat meat. I told her she was right and that no meat eaters get sinus headaches. )

Blessings,

Chanda
