Read more about the show, watch a video, and try 4 recipes from The Kind Diet. My DVR is set to record in case I'm not home. This should be good.

Most people are completely unaware and those of us who have some idea live largely in denial. I watched one of those "how things work" or "modern marvels" type shows recently and they were showing the factory where chicken meat is pressed and formed into the "breasts" they slice your lunchmeat from at the deli counter. VERY unappetizing. And I don't even want to think about how those chickens got to be "meat" in the first place. But we have to eat. So we try to be a little more thoughtful and make more concious choices. Still not ready to be a vegan though.
I have listened to Michael Pollan speak on the radio and he makes so much sense. I do *try* to follow a better diet, but always know I can do better(have been cooking kale quite a bit--grown locally in winter, even!)
As Tracy wrote already, though--I don't know if I ever could go so far as turning vegan.
I wonder if Oprah will follow any of their suggestions? She's a notoriously bad eater, as in eating the wrong kinds of foods (processed,too salty,deep fried,etc.)About vegans,you are free to do what you want, but I don't view them as any healthier than their non-vegan counterparts. In fact, it is hard for them to get the nutritional balance that they need so they have to take supplements. I know it is controversial, but I see the practice as unnatural, as man was never meant to exist on plant-based products alone. And for women,particularly those approaching menopause, a totally non-animal diet results in dry,lusterless skin and hair, dull eyes, early wrinkles, etc. The women I knew who followed this or similar diets looked old before their time, not to mention the potential for brittle bones from calcium deficiency. I don't want to get into it on here, but I think there are other psychological factors going on for those who seek to deprive themselves of things their bodies need, and who see their humanity in a negative light. Just my 2 cents, but food for thought nonetheless, if you'll forgive the pun!
I just did a post on this important but sad info. I think people are finally begining to really listen and understand about the problems that exist with the food industry. Thanks for posting!!!
