Time to Vote
Don’t worry; there are no pregnant chads (or hanging chads, for that matter).
.
Should the next month be…
…1. “Hug a Vegetable”
(to promote/celebrate eating the recommended 5-9 servings per day)
.
…2. “Hug a Veg Protein”
(Robert’s list of vegetarian high-protein foods would come in handy here/to show it’s easy and yummy to get enough protein in a veg diet)
.
…3. “Hug a Fruit”
(to pay homage to nature’s candy, an also to dispel the myth that fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and pineapples are bad for you due to their high sugar content)
.
…4. “Hug a Dessert”
(to show that one can—and should—make room for treats in a healthy diet)
.
I have a few more ideas, so if none of the above sound intriguing enough (or if you’d rather be surprised), vote for:
…5. “Surprise Me”
hug a veggie protein! after 1 yr of being vegetarian and 2 yrs of veganism, i still find it difficult sometimes (without resorting to high-sodium fake meats) to get the amount of protein to keep me satisfied. i know i get enough protein, but i get hungry a LOT, and i think this has to do with protein.
Hug a fruit! 🙂
I vote for hug a fruit as well. I want to hug my bananas. Oh that sounds wrong!
I was actually just thinking tonight that I’d love if you did “Hug A Vegetable”, so that’s my vote!
Hug a sugary fruit like grapes or cherries that the media says are bad for us! Puhlease! 😉
I want to hug a starchy vegetable! Corn! Potatoes! Beans! They are being moved from the vegetable food group to the grain/starch food group in the new 2010 nutritional guidelines for Americans, so I think they need a little love!
VeganRunner,
Wow, that’s ridiculous! Those things have been “vegetables” for hundreds of years. Eh, oh well… I love starches too, so I guess it doesn’t really matter what they call ’em :).
Hug a veg protein! ATW! There’s so many cool ideas that could stem from this theme of the month!
Or actually, how about “Hug a dessert…for breakfast!”
Hug a fruit, por favor :).
