Tofu

Last week I boldly went where no other RCV blogger has gone before (like there are lot of us). I said that I would tell you why my preferences are; a vegetarian diet, a Taoist perspective, a multi-colored pallet, and a non-attached lifestyle. Perhaps you have already connected these dots and concluded that a tofu eating, passive, eternally optimistic, liberal triathlete is, of course, going to be single.....but that isn't the point. So let's start with the first item and see where we end up. (I will give you a hint and say where-ever THAT is it will still be here & now).

Food: Meat is not necessary. I have proven this. I was a guinea pig for the DOD in the same way that Ken Kesey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Kesey was for the government (CIA) when they were testing the results of LSD on otherwise staid and intelligent Stanford students in the early 60's. I went from your typical 30 year old dufus bozo, eating burgers and steaks and chicken and fish (and calling softball and beer drinking exercise), to a vegetarian diet in the 40/30/30 ratio of carbs/protein/fat. I also upped the workout ante and discovered an odd little sport called triathlon. I read Diet for a New America by John Robbins http://www.foodrevolution.org/market/products1.htm, started martial arts, began to meditate, and, well, passed the test. That was many years ago. If you want to justify your carnivorous habits by saying that you need meat for protein, please don't. That is a campaign very successfully waged and staged by the people that directly profit from the meat industry. I don't care if YOU want to eat meat. That is YOUR choice. I KNOW it tastes good. It is just not for me. I will have curried tofu with spinach tonight and sleep well after my two workouts. That will be enough. Oh, and btw, there are nine other reasons, but I just got hungry, so, we'll get to those a little later............
