Vegetarian living

I really like juicing too.  Sometimes I just don't feel like eating all those vegetables, but there are a lot of studies that show the benefit of high fruit and vegetable consumption.  I juice beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lemons and ginger in various combos.  I also started juicing wheatgrass - it feels like a little shot of health when you drink it.

Hi all, I've read through this thread and it doesn't look like anyone has yet recommended "Diet for a Small Planet" by Frances Moore Lappe.  The author's main point is how to combine vegetarian food sources (grains, legumes, seeds, dairy) to get a more complete protein than eating the foods alone.

To quote from this book, which BTW I own in addition to the follow-up, "Recipes for a Small Planet":

Complementary protein combinations formed the basis of the world's traditional cuisines.  We use them naturally in our cooking without even being aware of it.  The three most common complementary protein combinations are:

1. Grains (rice, corn, wheat, barley, etc.) + legumes (peas, beans, lentils).

2. Grains + milk products.

3. Seeds (sesame or sunflower) + legumes
