New to group

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm Debbie and am new to the group. I wanted to

start eating a diet that was plant-based. I have done

this in the past as part of a very low fat diet in an

attempt to lower cholesterol. I felt wonderful and

was very successful. I would like to do this again

but have recently begun reading " Hope's Edge: The next

Diet for a Small Planet " by Frances Moore Lappe and

Anne Lappe. I think a plant based diet is extremely

energy efficient and when gas is $3 a gallon, it makes

you think.
