Team shots make me feel better, even from the 90s. The western premiers tried to meet in Yellowknife.

Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 53
Yesterday, I had a bad day diet-wise. I was trapped in a meeting with only sandwiches and was too hungry. I weakened when at a meeting at a burger joint later. And it was my 20th wedding anniversary so I wasn’t in the mood to be super strict.

No matter. Back at it today. And the schedule seems saner.

I was sent an article about raw versus cooked vegetables, which was impressive in its detail. See below.

My family, which is 75% vegetarian, eat vegetables raw or we lightly steam our them. E.g. raw carrots and steamed cauliflower.

However, the complexity of the article got me thinking … shouldn’t the message start with these five basic notions?

A) Eat some vegetables. Period.
B) Maybe wash them first.
C) Potatoes, rice, corn and wheat don’t count as vegetables. I.e. they are starches
D) On your plate there should be more veggies than starch.
E) Fresh tastes better.

What would the health outcomes be if we ate more vegetables than starch in general and worried less about the carotenoid content in red cabbage?
