  i'm toying with the idea of going vegetarian for a month, just to see what it feels like.

  my concerns are.

  costconveniencenutritionflavormy question is thus, is there a vegetarian diet that will meet these criteria?

  Beets, nuts, green veggies, chicken breast, whole grain bread and pasta when available. No red meat. Limited potatoes, salads, carrots.Dark chocolate is ok. And....

  10,000 steps per day minimum. I do more than that every day. No soft drinks. Not even diet.

  More or less what I do each day. Tomorrow I donate blood - Peach "juice" and a cookie or 2, then a long walk.

  We just have to keep our fingers crossed against catastrophe.

  Pretty sad.

  Not perfect. Cost of meds for Cancer for example is outrageous. Line ups (waits) here in Vancouver is unacceptable. But at least one does not declare bankruptcy and loses ones home. Those under 20,000 (roughly) dollars income per year pay nothing in premiums.

  Edited to add: our tax base is significantly higher than the US. But I am happy to be here.

  Fox News does not report news, they create and manipulate it.

  But why would they be so hateful? Pretty simple. Create fear. Tell everyone the country is going down the crapper. They buy and promote (advertise) gold. It's all about money. Not about politics. The left rich folk do the same thing. Heard the same ad on Air America yesterday.

  All the average folk suffer. Same for health care. Socialized health reduces profits. Health care - bad. Money for big health - good. But if so many suffer so bad from illness, then they cannot afford to buy anything. Now the economy collapses. Stop buying, stop the economy. All you can afford is Wal Mart.

  Although our Canadian health care system leaves a lot to be desired, i.e. long waits, at least there is money left to keep the economy in good shape. People are still buying. (sorry a bit off the topic).

  Smoking is smoking. All is bad for your lungs. Does absolutely squat for ones health. But when you are young, you live forever.

  JO: We don't live in igloos, we do have television and the internets. I see Beck crying like a little school boy who dropped his lolipop. I hear hate filled Hannity ranting, as well as the rest of the boobs from clips of other shows and newscasts. Hard to completely avoid. I also see it on many occasions in hotel rooms across the US. Same hate filled crap, quite inconsistent to what so called Christians should be.

  So yes I have seen enough of their hate speeches to make a judgement.

  Just wish viewers could decide before having their poison stuffed down peoples throats.

  The "biggie" is that some cannot make their own decision.

  Not narrow minded, just realistic. No Fox Noise on our basic cable here in Canada. Lucky us. No Rush either. Blessed are those north of the 49th.

  If I am narrow minded, then why do Repugs repeat endlessly the same talking points, and why do the Repug. party hire people to create all the hate mongering? BTW I am a progressive conservative - without the religious rhetoric. Very conservative when it comes to money. Obama and I totally disagree on bailouts (like he cares what I think!). Absolutely progressive when it comes to the environment.

  BTW, conservatives and Repugs. are not the same at all. One can think for themselves. Guess which one.
