Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Extreme flatulence made it difficult for me to shift to being a vegetarian. The problem is becoming manageable by first rinsing the legumes in water, than soaking them in water for 6-8 hours, discarding the water and then boiling them, intensely the first 10 minutes or so. I am now experimenting by adding kombu algae in the boiling phase. I want to acknowledge the helpful, generous postings by Rodney on methionine. It was his pedagogical, thorough and logically compelling essay on it quite some time ago that finally got me to take action. This, combined with the devastating environmental consequences of meat (greenhouse gas emissions), is causing me to give up my life-long love affair with (lean) meat. I'm not becoming a full vegetarian; I will still eat fat fish, and the occasional lean meat dish when offered at some private place or when travelling.
