JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out
Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

LOL, Roy, and thanks for the comment! I have to agree with you about beets—they’re not a taste that I’ve acquired or am likely to. For all their benefits, I just flat-out don’t like them.
I also agree that it can be confusing knowing how best to prepare some foods for maximum benefit. But I think it’s better to eat the foods prepared in the “wrong” way than to not eat them at all....

Thank you for the Beet Salad recipe. It sounds lovely, except for the beet. I’d rather just eat the box grater.
One hears a lot about super foods these days. I read recently that you can derive health benefits from steamed broccoli that you can’t get from uncooked broccoli, though both versions are good for you. I guess cooking is all about chemistry, and so are our bodies. But, with some of these food trends, it’s hard to distinguish fact from fashion. Maybe the new N.C. Research Campus will help provide some answers.
