For today’s meatless ideas take a look at yesterday’s posts. I posted a couple of fantastic ideas about the Mediterranen Diet. Great things to think about. A real cause of the day is to make some sort of mortification in honour of the hundreds of millions of babies lost because of the horrible federal decision that was legislated on this day back in 1972. Read and think, fast and pray.

Meatless Friday is CertifiedMeatless
Friday, January 22nd, 2010For Meatless Monday – soy just got better!
Sunday, January 17th, 2010CertifiedMeatless keeps giving great information for Certifed Meatless Monday! This is some new information from the US Dept. of Agriculture:
Research Will Help Improve Soybeans and Other Legumes
WASHINGTON, January 13, 2010—U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are part of a team that has sequenced the majority of the soybean genome, providing an unprecedented look into how this important legume crop converts four critical ingredients—sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen—into protein and oil, the basic building blocks for many consumer products. The research team from 18 federal, state, public and private organizations published their research today in the journal Nature.
“Soybean and other legumes play a critical role in global food security and human health and are used in a wide range of products, from tofu, soy flour, meat substitutes and soy milk to soy oil-based printing ink and biodiesel,” said Molly Jahn, USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics. “This new information about soybean’s genetic makeup could lead to plants that produce more beans that contain more protein and oil, better adapt to adverse environmental conditions, or are more resistant to diseases.”
This sequencing of the soy genome is the culmination of more than 15 years of collaborative research. The team used a so-called “whole-genome shotgun” (WGS) approach to sequence 85 percent of the 1.1 billion nucleotide base pairs that spell out soy’s entire DNA code. The sequence also provides researchers with a critical reference to use in deciphering the genetics of some 20,000 other legume species.

Food ingredients can be difficult to decipher
Thursday, January 14th, 2010We at CertifiedMeatless do take pride in providing the public foods that are completely devoid of landed slaughtered meats and their by-products. It isn’t the simplest task to accomplish, I can assure you. To determine if a food is a meatless food, it takes laboratory analysis as well as interviewing the food provider for a beginning. Take it from the British Nurtrition Foundation who provided these comments to their new standards:
“This new guide on food composition data explains the issues and pitfalls in sourcing and using data on food. Information on the composition of foods is vital for a wide range of people, including health professionals, regulators, caterers and those working in the food industry. For example, you can see this in the nutrition information provided on food packaging, and it is important in determining the recommendations about what we eat and drink given by government bodies.”
” ‘Food composition explained’ which is published in the September issue of the journal Nutrition Bulletin is intended to help those new to the field to navigate the complexity surrounding data on our food. This guide was completed on behalf of the EC funded Network of Excellence EuroFIR (European Food Information Resource), and is the seventh in a series of Synthesis Reports from the project, including others on ethnic foods, plant bioactives and health claims.”

A meatless thought for the day
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Ever wonder how we became so dependent on meat? It was pretty hard to hunt and get all the sustenance so, we became farmers. Keeping stock of the animals became big business but it led to cutting corners. First
there is the AI leading to more births. Second, there is the cultivation of using ingredients which are foreign to the animals. This in itself led to the downfall of meat quality. What are good reasons to be meatless? Taste and health are. We don’t need all the extra garbage that has been fed to the cattle. Go for wild caught fish
products instead that have been flash-frozen on board. I don’t care what the fishmonger says, this is freshness at its best. It has not been lingering around the Fulton Market. And fresh tastes best to me! See what we have meatless at CertifiedMeatless!

Meatless Wednesday Thoughts
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009Some thoughts according to the AMA(American Medical Association): Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish can help to reduce blood pressure, lower pulse rate, and improve cariovascular activity. Eating fish also reduces strokes and helps people maintain mental clarity. For pregnant and nursing mothers, fish intake is important. DHA found in fish improves brain development for those precious babies!
