The China Study

So, Kyle just went to Utah this last weekend to go to his cousin's wedding. While he was there, he learned about this book, "The China Study." To my surprise, MY husband came home requesting that we eat less meat. WHAT?! His favorite places to eat dinner are Outback Steakhouse and on a night of extravagance, Ruth's Chris. Anyway, we talked more about this book which shows different studies that prove PROTEIN to be a likely cause of cancer. And where is most protein located? In meat. You can read the book yourself to discover what it all entails. I won't go into details, but after discussing this protein business and our personal eating habits, we decided to look into getting recipes that involved little or no meat. We will still enjoy our steaks and chicken from time to time, and this will be a gradual process, but I am actually excited to explore a new way of thinking and a new way of eating. We are buying a lot more produce, trying new foods, and experimenting on new flavor combinations. It is actually really fun, and we have only been doing it for 2 days. ha! I am also at a point of frustration with this whole weight loss business, so it's refreshing to have a new perspective on food and what I am putting in my body. Anyway, we will see how this goes, and if it will last very long. But it should be fun!
