A Vegan Thanksgiving

This pretty much sums it up:

Dr. Fuhrman's Super Immunity Food Rules

I picked up Dr. Fuhrman's new book, Super Immunity, at the National Conference to End Factory Farming. I had him dedicate to my Uncle Mel, who has colon cancer, and before sending it to him, I skimmed the book. From it, I gleaned a few rules that I hope to follow in my day-to-day life. Here's one set- Dr. Fuhrman's Food Rules.

1. Eat a large salad every day.
2. Eat at least one-half cup serving of beans/legumes in soup, salad, or another dish once daily.
3. Eat at least three fresh fruits a day, especially berries, pomegranate seeds, cherries, plums, oranges.
4. Eat at least one large (double-size) serving of green veggies daily, either raw, steamed, or in soups and stews.

He also advocates that you avoid these Five Deadliest Foods:

1. Barbecued meat, processed meat, and commercial red meat
2. Fried foods (sigh... french fries)
3. Full-fat dairy and trans fats
4. Soft drinks, sugar, and artificial sweeteners
5. White-flour products
