Vegetarian and Health
The Atkin's Diet(tm) might be getting all the media coverage, but it's probably the stupidest thing to come along since the invention of sliced bread. Here are some links for real healthy diets:
- Dr. Walford - Life Extension through diet
- Veg Source - soopah kewl vegetarian/vegan web portal
- Jen's Vegan page - personal page with info on vegan wines
- The Vegan Connection - information for people from Vega. :)
- LightLife - yummy (sometimes crunchy) vegetarian ph00d.
- Tofutti - vegetarian desert central, and their soy cheese goes great on a Boca Burger with avacado, Dijon, and hot sauce.
