Hi Heather

Can you tell me what "Nutritional Yeast" is? Does it go under a brand name? Are we talking Marmite? :)

[healthyvegan]

@mikelawson8 nutritional yeast is yellow flaky stuff - the most popular brand is Red Star, you can often find it in regular grocery stores now although I buy it in bulk at my organic food store. Marmite is totally different, that's not what I'm talking about :)

umm i get that your a vegan so thats why you dont eat honey but whats wrong with it other than the fact that it comes from a bee?

[healthyvegan]

@TelepathicT the production isn't good for the bees - they replace the honey with glucose syrup which doesn't give them the nutrition they need, they get gassed, etc. It's mostly an ethical issue for strict vegans, but the growing size of industrial agriculture and honey production is contributing to colony collapse and without bees there would be some serious environmental and food supply issues. There are some good documentaries about bees and the problems we've created for them

Spinach, arugala and a variety of mushrooms... Fresh vs. dried/ ground herbs?? And where do pistashios fall in the nut family? Are they considered healthy. I'm not really an almond fan, although I do like almond butter. Don't like walnuts or pecans either. Is there a good sub for those?

[healthyvegan]

@LDotLyric fresh herbs are way better for nutrients than dried. pistachios are healthy, although usually better to get the unsalted ones. sunflower seeds make a great sub in recipes for walnuts or pecans, especially if you give them a little toast in the oven or a dry pan :)

@Mcpanicfanic Actually salmon(& tuna) is loaded with mercury,not exactly healthy.Go for smaller,younger fish that are not top predators.

[healthyvegan]

@Marielisa510 the variety you're getting sounds fine - the more the better, but as long as you're getting a few of each type of nut/seed/grain/bean you're doing well :)

@healthyvegan Thanks Heather - I'll find out where I can get it this side of the pond then.

Made the lemon ginger roasted vegetable pie tonight - absolutely delicious!

I used to eat Salmon at least twice a week when i was on a great diet plan and used to exercise everyday and i lost 30 lbs. Then I stopped like an idiot. But Im gonna get back on track. Im actually going grocery shopping after I watch this. :)
