Comments on: Lean And Green – Six Simple Strategies The Quantum Method for Manifesting Your Dreams Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:06:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Marsha http://www.dreammanifesto.com/lean-green-simple-strategies.html/comment-page-1#comment-95915 Marsha Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:55:53 +0000 http://www.dreammanifesto.com/?p=2354#comment-95915 I appreciate an article showing that we can make healthy choices for our bodies and the planet, and I'm glad to see this article advocating eating fewer animals and their products. As a long-time vegan, I've seen first-hand the positive results of my food choices on myself, other people, animals and the planet. I did want to point out one poor choice of words in item #6. Seeds, legumes, nuts, etc., are not "protein substitutes." That word choice makes it sound like animal flesh is the default for protein. Almost all foods (not fruits) contain protein, and plant-based protein is a healthy, ecologically-friendly, animal compassionate choice. It's not a substitute for anything.
