@FP......your post made me smile big time. you have a good grasp of what is needed for you and your family.....and a good perspective too.
Yeah, go for it on the health thing, none of us has ever regretted paying more attention to our health. Sugar is so easily underestimated as to it's effects on our thinking and our health.
My wonderful SO has reinvented herself, and is now a yoga teacher and we are 1/2 way to vegetarianism......we are not extremists and the vegan thing doesn't even seem healthy to me....but we have replaced our beef intake by 80%......chicken, fish and tofu have taken up the slack.....I told her I would jump on board and am happy for it. Tofu is really tasteless.....so it's made tasteful by how and what you cook it in. I really like it now, especially when it's baked first....it gives it a chewy and crunchy texture that quite appealing.
let us know how your going about it.....we never stop learning
