Veg Heads Unite Online

by Sally Andersen

I love calling myself a veg head, but I thought maybe it was just me. I’m often the oddball: turning left when others go right; spinning in circles when others walk a straight line; veg-head.jpgdancing when the only music is in my head. I am the girl who wore hot pink when everyone else chose black.

Apparently, however, on this particular matter I am not alone. ChrissyJo - whose name you might recognize if you read the comments - recently started up a fun, super cool, new vegetarian blog called Nutrition for VegHeads.

She’s included some great links - including one to little ol’ moi; a food of the week - currently the cherry; great quotes; and a look into life as a veg*n.

I’ve been meaning to point out her site for a little while now, but finally got to it today because of a great post that she wrote on October 30 titled “If Oprah approves, it must be good!”

Here’s a little teaser:

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a great food for new veg*ns to try. If you haven’t frequented natural food stores, you may not have come across it before. It is gluten-free if you have allergies. It contains lysine, making it a complete protein - good news for us VegHeads! It made Oprah’s Top 10 Superfoods list, too!

…keep reading…

Go ahead, don’t feel like you are cheating on me. I give you my permission to go read another veg head’s thoughts.
