Where's the Beef???

In today's society "meat" is what's for dinner.  When did the veggie start playing second fiddle?  An how about the bean or the whole grain?  Todays kids don't even know what a whole grain is!  And they wouldn't know what a fresh veggie (much different than a canned one) tasted like.  I'd like to challenge everyone to go one day a week with out meat on the menu.  Go to www.peta.org , click on living, then on vegatarian living and you can get helpful information and even recipes to help you along with the challenge.  You will be so surprise by the yumminess that awaits you.  Get your kids into the act too by checking out www.petakids.com for info about their fav singers and why they chose to be vegetarian.  There is also games and contests for them to enjoy.  Also, check out www.thekindlife.com for more ideas.  This site was founded by Alicia Silverstone and it's great.  Now I'm saying you guys should just drop everything you know and become vegetarian or vegan but just start out with one day a week and see how it goes from there.  Baby steps if you will.   If all you do it start to incorporate more of the healthier more delicious stuff like veggies, beans, whole grains, fruits and stuff in your diets that would be awesome in itself.  This gives you a resourse to do just that but in new and exciting ways that your taste buds will LOVE you for and so will the planet.  Tell me about your fave recipes!  Happy Eating!
