Tom, I had a look at your site
http://www.beyondveg.com/
and I think you're doing visitors quite a service.
Your approach is well balanced, and will result in possibly the best
collection of ideas on food and diet that there is - I say this because you
seem ready willing and able to adapt to new discoveries.
So "good on you" for your efforts !
(I can see a benefit to you too - instead of having to reply at some length
again and again, you can just point to your site: terrific !).
On the subject of being ideal or real : maybe my ideal is to be a realist.
regards,
Lynton
