I do this thing once a week where I don’t eat meat — vegetarian Wednesday. It’s based on some impossible to verify stat I read somewhere that if everyone in the U.S. gave up meat one day a week it’d be equivalent to taking some untold millions of cars off the road, in terms of environmental impact. Sure, sounds great, it’s also a helpful check on my diet and a fun challenge.
On vegetarian Wednesday, I often build a meal around grains, in particular quinoa 1, a miracle food if ever there was one. Loaded with protein, fiber and amino acids, it’s gluten free and, basically, awesome. It’s also cheap, pretty much everywhere and easier to prepare than it is to pronounce (say it with me: KEEN-wa).
