Come again? Could you expand on this?
I'm all for eating fresh fruit, vegetables, roots, etc, but I don't see how this article supports only a plants based diet? Really I think what it's saying is avoid mass produced food, no?
For example, the locally sourced fresh beef I buy from my local farmer?
- dzhiurgis 12y agoIt's saying to avoid processed foods. Most of the processed foods are animal related. Even the bread has milk inside. Eliminate the animals and what you are left is plants. Simple.
- brandon73 12y agoCorrect. So instead of saying veganism, we should instead be saying real/fresh food... at least, based on this article. Not saying you can't be vegan, just that this article isn't saying that.
- WillPostForFood 12y agoMilk is not a typical ingredient in bread. In this analysis of 2000 bread ingredient lists, it doesn't show up in the top 20. http://blog.fooducate.com/2010/11/04/the-top-20-ingredients-used-in-bread-miniseries-part-3/ http://blog.fooducate.com/2010/11/04/the-top-20-ingredients-... As a home bread maker, I've never used milk. Occasionally eggs, or butter, but mostly just flour, water, yeast, and salt.
- dzhiurgis 12y agoBread itself is a processed grain.
- refurb 12y agoI don't get the concerns around processed food. If I buy a bunch of apples and make apply jam (adding "chemicals") it's apparently bad now? Or if I process cucumbers into pickles? "Processed" doesn't really tell you anything.
