  • Simple plant-based meals when home alone

    Here is another “Eat just enough. Mostly plants.” post. My breakfast today was blended pineapple, lemon (with skin and seed), avocado (with skin and seed), carrot, celery, pumpkin seed, millet powder and water. Also, a few slices of cucumber and some walnuts (for brain power!). That was done in a jiffy. Then, for lunch, it’s…

  • Going green for life

    The story: http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/food/going-green-for-life It is an interview with Dr George Jacobs, president of Singapore’s Vegetarian Society. Some excerpts: He is vegan, but his wife is a meat lover. However, these different dietary preferences have not stood in the way of Dr George Jacob’s 26-year marriage. Sounds familiar? The 63-year-old is president of the Vegetarian Society (Singapore) and…

  • The “history” of milk

    Source: http://www.care2.com/causes/the-surprising-history-of-milk.html Not “so surprising” to us as we’ve written about this quite a number of times. To us, we would rather not question as to whether milk is nutritious or not (as many humans are just so, so sensitive whenever their choice of food becomes a subject of debate), we’re more concerned about the way…

  • The Okinawans’ longevity and health

    We’ve written about this many times in the past, but it doesn’t hurt to be reminded again. Source: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-14305/these-people-live-longer-than-anyone-here-are-9-things-they-do.html No. 2 on their list is to rely on a plant-based diet. Eat just enough. Mostly plants.

  • Dr Ellsworth Wareham, a recently retired 100 year-old vegan heart surgeon

    Let’s hear what he shares: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/05/04/100-year-old-vegan-heart-surgeon-retired-at-95-heres-why-hes-been-a-vegan-for-50-years/ When I was in practice in medicine, I would tell the patients that the vegetable based diet was the healthy way to go, and to keep away from the animal products as much as possible. People are very sensitive about what they eat. You can talk to people about exercising  relaxation, good mental…

  • Preparing smoothie stock (the “Eat less meat” campaign)

    This is part of our “Eat less meat” campaign. Preparation for our meals and snacks for the next 2 weeks… All gst-free!

  • A vegetarian rice meal in 15 minutes flat

    It is a wellknown fact that I’m super-lazy when it comes to cooking, so let me share with you how I made this rice meal in 15 minutes flat just now. It was at Berjaya Founder’s Day that we chanced upon the Jing-Si instant rice sold by Tzu Chi Foundation. I bought two bags (each…

  • Freeze away, blend away…for sugar-free smoothies, etc.

    It’s been a long time since I shared our meat-free meals! Well, when I was sick, I could barely eat two spoonfuls per meal and even that had to be forced down. So, food hadn’t exactly been on my mind for quite some time! Well, we’re back now and I’m into making smoothies… Here’s a…

  • Goodbye, Mr Leonard Nimoy

    May you be in a peaceful place, Mr Leonard Nimoy. “Live long and prosper” – Leonard Nimoy.

  • Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

    “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. – Michael Pollan” is the best 7-word nutritional advice one can give any human.
