The time
for swimsuits, barbeques, and sunscreen is finally upon us. Long
lunches and late night dinner parties are what summer is all about,
but who wants to spend hours in the kitchen? With average
temperatures reaching 100 degrees, slaving over a hot stove sounds
like cruel and unusual punishment.

India
The mighty
sub-continent is a haven for veggies. With a massive 20-40% of
Indians estimated to be vegetarian themselves, India claims the
single biggest population of vegetarians in the world. Most food for
sale in supermarkets is marked with special labelling to aid veggies'
selection and almost all restaurants serve delicious vegetarian food.

Destination South
America: envision lush rainforests, smoggy cities, century-old
cathedrals, trekking expeditions, and meat. Lots of meat. From
the lauded steaks of Argentina to the fried guinea pig of Peru,
meat is central to South American diet and culture.

Paul McCartney's support
of the No Meat on Monday campaign was certainly no stretch for him,
even though the campaign has more of an environmental purpose (global
warming) than to promote vegetarian food. He and the late Linda
McCartney were pioneers in getting people to go veggie, even
establishing a frozen food company in Linda's name with products in
UK supermarkets(...)

Vegetarian Diets
It is
the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately
planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets,
are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health
benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during
all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation,
infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes. A vegetarian
diet is defined as one that does not include meat (including fowl) or
seafood, or products containing those foods. This article reviews the
current data related to key nutrients for vegetarians including
protein, n-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, and vitamins D
and B-12.

......A large body of
scientific literature suggests that the consumption of a diet of
whole grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts, and fruits, with the
avoidance of meat and high-fat animal products, along with a regular
exercise program is consistently associated with lower blood
cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, less obesity and
consequently less heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and
mortality........

Swine Flu: Just the
Latest Chapter in a 91-Year Pandemic Era
The
current strain of H1N1 influenza, or swine flu, has people scared
because it's a novel virus that most of the population has never

been circulating since 1918, when a new strain appeared
simultaneously in pigs and humans and killed 40 to 50 million people
in a single year.
