Hi,
I am a vegetarian and have been one for a couple of years now. I just
thought I would make some suggestions to you from my experience as a
vegetarian.
As far as rice is concerned, if you can get Lundberg's rice, that is a
good option. All their rice is, from what I am told, organically
grown, even the rice that isn't sold as organic. As far as beans are
concerned, try to stay away from canned beans. They very often have
lots of additivies, perservatives, and the can itself leaks metals
into the beans. If you must buy canned beans, Eden organic is a good
brand, since they use enamel lining in their cans, so that the metal
does not leak.
Don't do too much pasta. That is usually how veges go wrong, and it
creates too much acidity in the body and overloads it with calories.
Last but not least, try to indulge in nuts, if you have the teeth for
it :) Nuts are a great source of everything, protein, fat, carbs, what
have you. Usually you can buy them unprocessed and raw, which is also
a great improvement over TV dinners and such :)
There is a nice product called Sunshine burger, that has lots of
sunflower seeds mixed with brown rice. They are quite tasty, imho.
Bon apetit,
Simon

Hi,
I am far from a vegetarian and probably will never be one but I have
had
a setback lately that I am quite sure is due to too much sugar etc.
etc.
However, I have read, and did not keep the sources, that a combination
of beans, Navy, Pinto, Great Northern, or whatever and brown rice will
provide complete nutrition.
Yesterday my wife and I stocked up on various brands of beans and brown
rice and will be including that in our diets.
I do know that the Japanese army did quite well on a diet of rice for
breakfast, dinner and supper. They weren't talking about the polished
white starch that we call rice.
I would surely consider this as the main base of any vegetarian diet
for
myself.
