Info about PROTEIN needs to be really put out there, but especially sources that don’t include tofu (which some people dislike) or soy anything (which gives many people gas, even soy oil and soy sauce!).

Also, for some, sources that don’t include wheat or gluten.

And I for one don’t consider mushrooms to really be vegetables, and eat them rarely.

Sources that don’t mix grains would be great to have too.

And many people will likely want tasty, realistic “fake meat” products, most of which (unfortunately) contain some of the above.

Answers…:

Protein, iron, Omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, Vitamin B12, and others, are huge concerns for people I’ve talked with about a Veggie lifestyle.

We all need immediate answers, and maybe some plastic-coated info cards we can always carry with us (the size of credit cards), to remind us, when we need it. (I can’t seem to remember it all.)

And online? Sortable Charts that list all kinds of food items that supply these–not just a few items either, but lots. (I can’t seem to find charts when I want them; and they are rarely sortable.)

If Veggie folks really want to make an impact, all of this info will have to be very readily available. And articles by prominent Doctors and major medical Web sites. And all this could be!

But I know that I for one don’t like to try to look for it at certain Veg. sites, you know, ones that condemn or insult, or put photos or videos of torture up. And neither do a lot of other people, especially the curious, or those interested for nutrition reasons. Why?

Because, the reality is, people want to find this information to EAT.

And photos, videos, or articles about animal harm, or human disease, are VERY unappetizing.

All such info must be put on Web sites that focus ONLY on nutrition and taste! (why people eat).

If you want to link to the other info — about harm, disease, and environment, etc. — include some basic links on Resources and Links pages dedicated to activism, environment, health & disease, and animal rights.
