Meat alternatives made more interesting

Here's another veg-friendly article, this one from a registered dietitian writing for The Record. Interestingly, it seems to be one of the few articles I've seen written for that surprisingly controversial class of eaters known as flexitarians, what with lines like this:

You don't have to be a vegetarian to eat like one.

Could well be that this is aimed at carnists, which -- if it has any impact -- could steer some people toward eating less meat. Hard to be disappointed with an article that has that effect. The writer even keeps in mind the vegan option, by considering dairy and eggs a separate deal altogether:

Think balanced meal, not just rabbit food. Vegetarian diets should include a variety of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, legumes and nuts. Add low-fat dairy and eggs, if you choose.

Leave it to a dietitian to subtly point out that one can eat a balanced meal without meat, eggs, or dairy.
