Hi Marlene, I definately agree that everyone's body is different with different needs and also that being vegan is hard . That's why I can't do it everyday, only when I'm at home..my problem is..I love bacon! Did you guys try to get your protein from beans? Probably didn't want to toot all the time...but I believe they have as much protein as meat (if you can eat them all the time and still be around others, lol). Did ya'll try the "Eat right for your blood type diet"? How did you know you needed protein? I thought that plants had the same amount of protein as meat does, and that the only thing you can't get from plants is B12. Did you or John ever go to True North or the Gerson Institute or anything like that? I read Bruce's story (www.aplasticcentral.com or org) and he said he went to True North, and it helped him appreciate how the toxins in our environment can be harmful. I also watched some youtube videos on the Gerson Institute and am intrigued, but am hoping I can save the money and just do it at home, but then that would require discipline to a vegan diet...hahahaha
