Always over the fads.

Yesterday, I discovered that the paleo movement has become almost as crazy restrictive as the vegan movement.  So I have decided to stop toying with my ideas of a paleo diet and stick with my true omnivore but mostly vegetarian deal:  I can eat any non-processed food that I want to eat, but at least 85% is going to be plant based.  While doing this, I am still going to cut back on most grain consumption.  I will personally allow quinoa, brown rice and buckwheat to remain as a variety option, but they won't be staples in my personal diet. Meat will make an occasional appearance if I can find locally raised or wild caught specimens. The same stipulation goes for eggs, honey and goat dairy. This does not mean I will not experiment with vegan options or even paleo options, because I love to experiment.  But you can forget about me giving up nuts or beans. It took me 22 years to develop a taste for nuts and beans, I'll be damned if a little phytic acid will deter me from eating them from time to time. 

Next week starts a whole new diet.
