Spinach is extremely sweet when you add it to a fruit smoothie. You don't have to add a lot to get its health benefits. and banana-spinach smoothies are good!

I switched my diet to Paleolithic, which is a lot of veggies, protein, and fruit and my system was out of whack for a good few weeks, gassy etc, but now its all good. Maybe you just need to slowly add more veggies into your diet until your system can handle it better. Make sure you drink at least 64 oz. of water a day. that will help as well. @crash

Generalize much? Education is a bigger factor in smoking or not than vegetarianism. Please link to the [legitimate] study by an impartial third party that states this as a worldwide conclusion.

Animals are a very good way to make comparisons when you are talking about these types of issues. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to know the facts, not wishful thinking when I make dietary and other types of major decisions about what I am going to put into my body. So you all will just have to forgive the scientist in your midst for bringing some facts to the table. And I'm not going anywhere any time soon, so get used to it and quit whining. Thanks for the Beano idea. I could have done without the snot though, since I was asking a perfectly reasonable legitimate question. I seem to remember it is kind of pricey and you need to use a lot of it (at least I did). I was more hoping for advice along the lines of 'it takes X amount of time usually for your system to get used the new food'. But I guess that was asking too much!

I am vegan because I CHOOSE TO BE VEGAN! Other people eat meat and dairy for the same reason, choice! My parents led long healthy lives because of a balanced diet of nutrient dense foods with small amounts of meat, fish and eggs with the fruits and veggies from our little garden, yum! I have never been a person who thought one size fit all of anything! I think if everyone sat down, did their own research then all could find a way to eat healthily or not as they choose!

is it really hard to pop a pill known as “bean-o” or something similar? all your GI distress will go away. or you could continue going to mcdonalds and avoid veggies and spend $$$ on cholesterol lowering drugs for the rest of your life.
