The question is not what makes one person feel better - we are all "biologically individual." The question is whether it is possible to have a healthy diet without meat. Yes you can!
Something can be both admired and laughed at.
I have tried eating a nutritious vegetarian diet off and on for a long time. Needless to say, Tofu simply cannot compete with the evil chicken. Without a reliable source of protein, I feel weak and feeble.
Maybe if you are short, or petite, you can pull it off. But what I've found is a Mediterranean diet complete with leafy greens, healthy oils (fish and olive) and wine is all you need to be healthy. I know - sounds complicated and gross, unlike tofu...
He is absolutely wrong about vegetarian diets being unhealthy and would like to answer that charge. Very ignorant. Even the ADA acknowledges its safety. My cookbook “American Wholefoods Cuisine” (coauthored with Cornell trained nutritionist Nikki Goldbeck), in print for 26 years is considered the “vegetarian Joy of Cooking” by both health and gourmet authorities. Admired by MFK Fisher too.
You are talking about sauces. Two remarks. Kitchen aid mayonnaise is wonderful. And for Eric what do you do wih extra eggwhites (bearnaise/bordelaise) Vive l'Estragon!
