Oh, I'd forgotten about this part! Good and bad combinations of foods. Good combinations: Grains and eggs, Grains and vegetables, Grains and fruits, Milk and grains. Bad combinations: Fruit and vegetables, Fats with fruits or vegetables, Milk and meat. There is no explanation given for this.

Honestly, I think trusting the opposite of whatever all-up-in-your-business-facebook-friend says sounds like the best diet plan ever.

She also snottily refers to soda pop as "corn water". (Because it's sweetened with HFCS, get it? And who would be dumb enough to drink "corn water"??? Parents should only give their kids water, but not tap water because OMG it's full of impurities!) (She's a little weird about food.) (To say the least.)

Chocolate and coffee are both under "Miscellaneous,"

I love Miscellaneous!

There is no website called isitavegetable. com. I checked.

So, business opportunity, then?

Quick! To the nearest domain registrar!

There were two processed meat substitutes available in 1910: Protose and Nuttolene. This cookbook assumes that readers are familiar with both. As far as I've been able to tell from Googling, both were canned, and made from a combination of grains and peanuts. Both were still being produced until just a few years ago (or, at least, something with those names -- I'm sure the recipe changed over the years.) Protose was one of Dr. Kellogg's products.

I googled, and Mayo Clinic says edamame is a vegetable. So, boom. Done.

Green clearly means vegetable, unless bread or meat in which case it qualifies are garbage. My rules are simple enough.

Today was a lower veggie day than my usual mostly veggies all the time diet. Just worked out that way. Lunch was pasta with spinach, asparagus, peppers, and tomatoes. Came out really good too. But breakfast was blueberry bagel (get a muffin)with peanut butter, dinner was at a Mexican joint, cheese enchilada with rice and beans. No plan to it, as in most days I don't plan on mostly eating plants, but it usually works out that way.

Bad combinations: Fruit and vegetables, Fats with fruits or vegetables, Milk and meat.

Oh no! I put fruits in the veggie salads most of the time! And fats if I use dressing or nuts! Not so much with the milk and meat though.

I don't have a lot of food police in my life. For this I am grateful.

A whole lot of those old canned fake meat products were eventually bought by Worthington/Loma Linda, who still make a bunch of them. I have no idea who buys them -- pretty much the only people I've ever heard mention them were people who grew up Seventh Day Adventist, who talk about them as stuff they ate as kids. [link]

Stake? Veja-links? I'm all for innovation in foodstuffs, but not with that spelling!
