anyone considered dropping this category?

I like the idea of coming to this site and being able to shift my  focus away from the heaviness of this disease for a short  break.

I know there are many other food and nutrition sites but I appreciate having one here, as I no longer have the stamina to slog all over cyberspace. I know of many support sites that have a few lighter areas.

 How diet may affect breast cancer may be debateble, but keeping healthy while fighting this monster is not.  So, if  not inheriting any other maladys (diabetes, heart disease) that may further compromise our ability to fight are a concern;  diet is an intregal part. JMHO

My opinion is (and not with sarcasm) is if you don't like this thread then don't visit it.  

I have to say that I have not cooked any healthier than I did before dx.  Before dx I stopped "flavoring" food with fat.  However, I have a husband who's NOT going to eat like I would want.  I cook myself wheat pasta, brown rice and use a few other things that he refuses to eat.  Therefore, it's difficult to cook two different meals.  I suppose I'm just lazy.

Keep bringing in healthy recipes.  I may get him to eat them SOMEDAY.

I'm with Marin.  I enjoy coming here and reading.  I've also tried a recipe or two.  I am not the healthiest eater or the worst.  I probably never drink wheat grass juice but do enjoy pomogranate.  Love Kashi products but will not give up totally rice krispie treats once in a while.

"There is absolutely nothing about nutrition that is specific to breast cancer. "

I disagree.  Soy is a good example.  Soy is generally considered to be a "healthy" product and increased usage of soy is widely promoted.  However, for women who've been diagnosed with ER+ breast cancer, while the jury is still out, the consensus opinion based on current research is that it's probably best to avoid excessive soy consumption.  Women who have ER+ BC have come to this forum saying that they've been told by nutritionists (who don't specialize in BC) to increase their soy consumption.  It's only here that they learn that this might not be advisable.  So I think that there is benefit to this forum.  JMO.
