How Green Are You??


Being "Green" today means saving our Planet right? Well of course but it also means becoming more of a Vegetarian. There are various degree's of being a Vegetarian from no meat, no eggs, and no dairy to adding more vegetables to a diet.If your not so strict to a Vegetarian diet then adding lean meats, poultry or fish is another alternative to healthy eating. Or you can substitute items for example meat can be substituted for beans and grilled vegetables, Milk for Soy or Rice Milk, and Butter for Vegetable or Olive oil. Tofu is a great substitute for Protein and is very versatile and easy to use. The new "Green" is to add more vegetables to the diet, eating leaner proteins such as chicken, turkey breast, or fish. In fact we will be introducing later this year a Chef who actually can "uncook" meals with nothing but vegetables and this new wave of Personal Chef is starting to catch on across our nation. So in a nutshell saving our Planet is "Green" but so is saving your health through reducing the risk of heart attack, obesity, and high blood pressure.
