I finally saw the movie Forks Over Knives last night and was surprised at how closely it follows the book The China Study I just finished reading.

I highly recommend both reading the book and seeing the movie whether you would ever consider becoming a vegetarian or not. Americans’ health is getting worse by the day and most of it has to do with the way we eat. I know everyone who comes to this site isn’t a new bride, because I get emails from empty nesters looking for recipes for two also, but if you are responsible for cooking for your family, then you are somewhat responsible for their health too!

There’s an old Egyptian proverb that says, “A quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other 3 quarters keeps the doctor alive.” (Or more likely keeps the doctor rich! I’ll be adding a series of vegetarian recipes for a couple weeks coming up. I hope you try some of them!
