//Humans didn't evolve to eat rice, beans, lentils, grains, or dairy. If Wakemed wants folks to be healthy, remove the bread, rice, cookies, cakes, etc and sub in salmon with non-startchy veggies cooked in olive oil and red wine.
///BTW - Saturated fat does not cause heart disease. Systemic inflamation, the result of eating sugar and foods that quickly turn into sugar upon consumption (and thus raising triglycerides, and as a by-product LDL), does.

Not true. Actually, a vegan diet is completely unhealthy, doesn't save the planet and still kills animals. It has also been proven that eating just grains and soy causes damage to your body and is basically unhealthy.
I believe it is you who is denial, or just haven't researched the topic enough to be informed.
Oh yeah, animal fat is good for you.
LOL.

It'd be interesting to see the inside of the arteries of all these naysayers. They might change their tune if they really understood what they are doing to themselves.
"And my digestive track gets along with vegetables just fine. It's meat that can throw it off." That's because meat has absolutely NO fiber; veggies & fruit (mostly raw) have plenty of it. Meat usually causes constipation; most don't understand it, & if they do, they are in denial of it.
chattycat: Perhaps you are the one who should lighten up.
"...there are some odoriferous side effects. Hanging out with vegetarians can be unpleasant." Vegetarians can be as gassy as meat eaters, but NOT usually as odoriferous.

Home-made hummus can be delicious, and when combined with assorted veggies, shredded wheat srekcarc, olives, roasted red peppers, etc. can please the senses with or without a meat included.
I like curried apple soup either cold or hot, with or without chicken. And, I make a mango/avocado/pineapple/chipotle pepper/lime salsa that's great.

immaannoid-Carnivores can be very fragrant, too. My husband is a meat lover (has it every meal) and I can't stand to be in the same room with him sometimes!

Yeah, even if it is tasty there are some odoriferous side effects. Hanging out with vegetarians can be unpleasant.

My daughter used to do that when she was four, but at six she will at least try something before turning her nose up! Admittedly, beans and rice isn't a great example of a tasty vegetarian meal.
