Why people are drawn to vegetarianism by all sorts of motives. Some of us want to live longer, healthier lives or do our part to reduce pollution. Yummy Veggie Treats caters to others by having home made yummy natural resources or because we’ve always loved animals and are ethically opposed to eating them. Thanks to an abundance of scientific research that demonstrates the health and environmental

benefits of a plant-based diet, even the federal government recommends that we consume most of our calories from grain products, vegetables and fruits. And no wonder: An estimated 70 percent of all diseases, including one-third of all cancers, are related to diet. A vegetarian diet reduces the risk for chronic degenerative diseases such as obesity, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and certain types of cancer including colon, breast, prostate, stomach, lung and esophageal cancer. So give us a shot and you'll be impressed.

1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 cup quinoa
1 cup Camargue red rice (see Note)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or Sesame Seed oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced, or Ginger
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Bring 2 medium saucepans of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa to 1 saucepan and the red rice to the other. Cover and simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 12 minutes for the quinoa and 35 minutes for the rice. Drain the grains and spread them out on baking sheets to cool.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

MAKE AHEAD
The cooked quinoa and rice and the dressing can be refrigerated separately overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
NOTES
Camargue red rice is available at specialty food and health food stores. Brown rice makes an excellent substitute.

Vegetarianism is strongly linked with a number of religions that originated in ancient India (Jainism, Hinduism and Buddhism). In Jainism, vegetarianism is mandatory for everyone; in Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism, it is advocated by some influential scriptures and religious authorities.
The World Health Organization says that if the avian flu virus mutates, it could be caught simply by eating undercooked chicken flesh or eggs, eating food prepared on the same cutting board as infected meat or eggs, or even touching eggshells contaminated with the disease. Other problems with factory farming -- from foot-and-mouth to SARS -- can be avoided with a general shift to a vegetarian diet.

Thought for the day.
A gluten-free claim means the food contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten, the protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye, an FDA spokeswoman said, adding that this is consistent with the threshold followed by other countries and international bodies that set food safety standards.

The rule is welcomed by people with celiac disease, a potentially life-threatening illness caused by damage to the intestinal lining after eating gluten.

The three million Americans diagnosed with celiac disease are at risk of nutritional deficiencies, infertility and intestinal cancer if they don’t follow a strict gluten-free diet, said Dr. Gina Sam, director of the Mount Sinai Hospital gastrointestinal motility center in New York City.
My favorite recipe.
True jambalaya uses sausages, shrimp and chicken. This rich vegetarian Veggie Jambalaya recipe version uses beans to provide meaty texture and flavor - with no meat.

Eating animal fats and proteins has been shown in studies to raise a person's risk of developing cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, and a number of other illnesses and conditions. The fat and protein content of cow's milk is very different from human milk - vegans say that we are not designed for consuming cow's milk.

When you’re vegan, do you think you get fewer colds than the average person? Speaking for myself, I have to answer with a resounding “yes.” I’ve been vegan for the last 4 years. In that time, I have never had the flu. I get a cold about every 1 to 2 years, and the duration and severity of the cold are far less than when I wasn’t vegan. The colds I have gotten since being vegan are more of an annoyance than anything…just enough to make me feel a little under the weather. The same holds true for my friends, who has been vegan for the same amount of time.

There has not been a lot of research on whether or not vegans get less sick than the rest of the population. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was true. The majority of vegans consume many more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes and soy than non-vegans, and without the addition of meat, dairy or eggs. All of these plant foods contain antioxidants, which help support the immune system.

This is my thought for today.
