Not much to write about but it’s way past the half point mark of August so I thought I’d share something from my recent reads. About a month or 2 months ago, I saw Super-Size Me and The Future of Food on Hulu and that got me to check out The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson. She’s the vegan chef who was the girlfriend featured on Super-Size Me and the book is a really easy read. I haven’t tried any of the recipes or tried any of the detox rituals so who knows if her methods really work but I learned about new sources of food for calcium and protein. For example, amaranth is a good source of protein & calcium (1 cup = 16 grams of protein and 240 mg of calcium). Except the book doesn’t explain where you can get amaranth. Is it in the latin supermarket? Health-food store?
