In lurking and reading this list the last couple of months, I have begun to wonder the same myself. The wealth of knowledge on aging, longevity and nutrition is astounding here, almost overwhelming. I have read The 120 year book, and every last article in the files. More technical information and science that will take me a year to assimilate. The past month, I have been counting calories for the first time in my life, though I've always eaten a whole food, plant-based and varied diet. It's hard to get a grasp of where to place the emphasis in the CRON diet: on supplements, stricter portions, or a wide variety of nutritious and enjoyable foods. Would it be presumptuous of a newbie to ask experienced Cronies here to post what they actually eat, as in a week's menu? What are some of your favorite lo-cal, nutrient packed recipes. Is this a dumb thing to ask? Thank for putting up with me

I agree completely.

Soy can also be used in the form of Soy protein isolate, but it's expensive

as tofu is.

It did occur to me why people think to be vegetarian they must eat soy, or

any beans.

" Archaeologists believe the soybean originated in southern Manchuria and the

northern part of the Korean Peninsula, where wild soybeans still grow. There

is evidence of soybeans dating back to Neolithic times. It is surmised that

the soybean was one of five grains cultivated from as early as the sixth to

the fourth century B.C. But who grew them? Needless to say, our ancestors

from Old Choson, Samhan, Koguryo, Paekche, and Shilla did.

Koreans, the world's first growers of soybeans, pioneered the processing of

soybeans. Their culinary wisdom is evident in the many ways they utilized

soybeans and soybean sprouts. For example, they cooked soybeans with rice

and made soybeans into paste and curd. "

Every time that I read how tofu is produced, I wonder whether mankind

was meant to eat soybean slurry precipitated with gypsum (plaster of

Paris). Why aren't people content with cooking and eating the

unprocessed soy beans like any other beans? You could make chili,

pork and beans, winnie-beanie casserole, refried beans, bean soup,

etc. without all the chemical processing.

I think that in our effort to tune up our nutrition, we sometimes use

isolated food components instead of whole foods and thus compromise

our ability to achieve optimum nutrition. Isolated components should

be used only as minor supplements and not as the mainstay of a diet.
