Good article. I made a decision in early June of this year to stop drinking cokes. As time passed and as I began reading health related articles I began changing my diet. My wife is Philippino and she listens to what I share with her. Then she cooks that way. As you said," Remember, as Dr Campbell also said, (and I paraphrase) “the transition to a plant based diet does not and is not going to happen overnight”. Therefore, every week we make adjustments in our diet. Here's a handy shortcut in cooking northern beans. I wash them first. Then I bring to a boil and put a lid on and remove from heat. Soak for an hour. Then I wash them. In an electric 6 quart pressure cooker I cook on high pressure for one minute. Wait until pressure drops. That's it. They are tender and delicious. This is my story relating to plant based foods. I forgot to mention; we are using less meat as time pases. I'm sure no more than 10%.

Thanks,

Jim
