Guest guest Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ok, Since I have been off awhile again, first the news. Folks I have found my soul-mate and am now married.... So my new wife and son are vegetarians and eat soy as a substitute for meat. Her question is with these facts in mind about soy, how and what can a person who is a vegetarian eat instead. Is soy the only alternative or is there something you all can suggest that could help rather than going on a vegan type diet? I am very familiar with Monsanto so any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we try to get all this figured out. Thanks, Chris...       ________________________________ From: H <nomorelyme@...> Sent: Mon, October 11, 2010 11:40:53 PM Subject: Re: [] OT/ Soy Pills  Hi Cheri, I am fairly new to this group.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Congratulations. Re: soy: These genetically modified seeds get picked up in the wind and carried to farms that are not purchasing them and contaminating them, so you can't tell which are genetically modified and which aren't. The way it is going, probably all will be contaminated by cross contamination. Re: getting protein without soy. They are guides to eating vegetarian. You have to combine other foods that have partial proteins to get whole protein in a meal. I have a guide but don't know where it is now. An well known example is beans and rice..dish you get at most mexican restaurants. Together they make a complete protein but there are other combinations. > > Ok, Since I have been off awhile again, first the news. Folks I have found my > soul-mate and am now married....

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks Barb. I remember the cross contamination of fields from a documentory called " Food INC " . Ill have to review it again with her although she has been doing this awhile and does very well. Clearly the goal is to get away from the GMOs period. If you think of the name of the book let me know. We will do some research today I am certain. Again, Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hey Sue, I know she will and does eat fish. Her dairy intake has been those of soy soy products so that could be great information to follow up on. I also have pretty much cut dairy since I seem to have become lactose intolerant since my exposure. I have often wondered if a pure fresh supply of real milk, real grass fed meats etc. would help that. I know the meat thing is confuseing to me since our bodies were not really designed to digest red meat, I still like it. I will have her look at this and let you know what we find out. Thanks a million Sue.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 chris, raw milk definitely more digestible than homogenized, pasteurized, ultrs... grass fed meats and fats great for you in moderation stay away from all processed and factory farmed meats, chickens, eggs, etc. a horror... sue >Hey Sue, I know she will and does eat fish.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 The list of foods to substitute for meat to get protein, is not specific to any one book, they are guidelines to how to eat vegetarian style and still get complete proteins in your diet. The list can be gotten from various source, maybe even the american dietetic association, or some vegetarian group. I believe one is grains and beans, is one combination that works...that would include the rice and beans mentioned, so could be other types of grains combined with beans. I just don't know what the other ones are, about three or four of them. I'll try to find them. > > Thanks Barb. I remember the cross contamination of fields from a documentory > called " Food INC " .

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Strict vegetarisns do not normally eat dairy products. Most vegetarians I know use beans/legumes as a source of protein. I think that raw, organic soybeans that are in their natural state are acceptable. Its the prcessed soy that is the new concern. Rice and beans are what I ate when I was a strict vegetarian. I still eat no red meat but do eat organic poultry and some fresh caught seafood. And Chris...congratulations!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hello there, there is a world of proteins beyond meat and soy awaiting your wife, including quinoa (as complete a protein as any meat), peanut butter, and good old rice and beans. I would suggest the book Becoming Vegan or Becoming Vegetarian (both are by a registered dietician, Davies), as well as Eat to Live, and the resources vegsource.com and vegfamily.com. It used to be believed that you had to combine proteins in a meal (a classic example is, again, rice and beans) so that you get a complete protein (with all the amino acids), but it is now believed that simply by eating plant-based proteins throughout the day, one will get sufficient protein. In fact, it's thought to be virtually impossible not to get enough protein. The concerns with all-veg now are basically B-12 (easy to get through sublingual tablets), calcium, and DHA. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Oops I didn't see this--if she does eat fish, no need to worry about DHA and B12. Is she allergic to dairy or intolerant? I'm allergic to the casein protein myself. On Oct 13, 2010, at 10:34 AM, <unitedstatesvet@...> wrote: Hey Sue, I know she will and does eat fish. Her dairy intake has been those of soy ..

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 My dairy intolerance stemmed from gluten intolerance. After avoiding gluten for awhile dairy was ok... but so mmany say it's not healthy anyway. > > Hey Sue, I know she will and does eat fish.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks AN. I will be interested to read these also as it always sounded so hard to get protein in a vegetarian diet, matching up foods, etc. > > Hello there, there is a world of proteins beyond meat and soy awaiting your wife, including quinoa (as complete a protein as any meat), peanut butter, and good old rice and beans.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 What about bee pollen as a source of protein? I've heard it is a good source but don't know where I heard it. > > Hello there, there is a world of proteins beyond meat and soy awaiting your wife, including quinoa (as complete a protein as any meat), peanut butter, and good old rice and beans.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Lentils are a good source of protein along with all the legumes with rice. Quinoa and Amaranth. Barilla pasta now has multigrain pasta made with lentils, legumes, quinoa and more that has a good amount of protein in it. Comes in the yellow box. I'm also confused on the soy products and would not touch a soy pill and follow Mercola's info on soy and seems fermented non-GMO is safe. I looked some of that up months back but seems the fermentation process means fungi. I found non GMO organic sprouted tofu recently and tried that but still wonder about the phytoestrogens reacting like estrogens and linked to cancers. I watch Dr. Oz and he says edamame and tofu ok and I'm sure he means non-GMO organic hopefully not cross contaminated and mentions the fermented soy products not the processed soy products. He just had a show on last week about that. Last year I started eating vegetarian. I eat a lot of nuts and seeds like walnuts, pitachiois, almonds, pumkin seeds etc. You can add them to salads and veggie stir frys and eat them raw or add to smoothies. I eat natural peanut butter, eggs and cheese, multigrains, oatmeal etc. Veggies also have some protein. Congratulations Chris! Rhonda > > ..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hey Rhonda, Long time... That makes alot of sense. I like all of it but the tofu. I myself just cant get a grip on a plant that has been patented ed but I suppose there is a way for some people and as long as it is not Monsanto's I suppose its ok. Anyway thanks and thanks for the info.
