On another post he or she claimed that "treats" were wrong???
Obviously he has never had children nor grandchildren nor neighborhood children who do enjoy ice cream cones and cookies in addition to their fruits and veggies.

What a joyless existence to live strictly on carrots and kale. The yoghurt would add a creamy texture for sure.
It seems to me we need an Opt In food and nutrition board like the politics board. Some people have strong opinions on food and nutrition and health and seem almost as judgemental and condescending as some of the wing-nuts on the poli board. My opinion is that obesity is very bad and a problem in this country, but there are millions of people who eat a varied diet and are not obese, and many are very healthy. My opinion is also that genetics are the most important predictors of a long and healthy life. I love my beef and I also love chicken and fish and veggies - in other words - I love food. I am not obese and am relatively healthey, but don't intend to go to any extremes with my diet to insure a long life. Time will tell whether I live a long and healthy life and whether those living the vegan lifestyle will outlive me. However, whatever happens, I have enjoyed the time I've had and intend to continue. Everyone has to live their life and let others live theirs - this is no dress rehersal. Be happy! Ed
