What made this project especially remarkable is that, among the many associations that are relevant to diet and disease, so many pointed to the same finding: people who ate the most animal-based foods got the most chronic disease. Even relatively small intakes of animal-based food were associated with adverse effects. (Source: The China Study)
Take a mom of 3, stir in 4 vegan cookbooks, add a rounded cup of staying at home, and mix with a hefty pinch of recipe testing!

Full of Beans!
I've started a series of posts on my T/S page about feeding picky toddlers and children. Since I've responded to many of you through e-mail about this topic, I thought it would be useful to expand on the idea and cover a food group within a post. So, today's post is full of beans! Feel free to share the link on fb, twitter, or any parenting/veg forums you frequent. Hope you find some useful tips for your kidlets, and you as well!

I read the China Study and I didn't get that impression, do you have a citation to the particular part that had that claim? I read it awhile ago so I may not be remembering correctly.
I think that any amount of reduction in animal products is beneficial, I don't think it has to be all or nothing.
For me, having myself and my whole family eat vegan would be a huge uphill battle (where my entire family would revolt, I know becuase I've tried), and I have medical issues that may not bode well with a diet that relies on starch, nuts, seeds, and soy for it's protien.
talula, sorry it's taken me a few days to get to your question - it's been hectic round here! Anyhow, yes, if you click through the link, you'll see that exact excerpt - as well as more details on the excerpt tab on that page. The China Study is such a powerful read, I have bought it and lent it out several times, and am eager to read it through another time myself!
