Need a basic vegan shopping list...anyone?

Superfoods- these are ten of the superfoods to maintain the best diet, let alone vegan. Take the vegan out of it, and these foods would still remain.. SPinach ( or equiv- kale, collards etc) Walnuts Soybeans (tofu soymilk) Lentils PEaches ( Papaya, pumpkin) Seeds- flax, sesame, pumpkin Tomatoes Oats Avocado (equiv. Olives) Quinoa - grains are a friendly thing if done right.

QUinoa has incredible protein and low carb nutrition, it's not actually a grain, and is related to grasses. It is a complete protein and full of iron and potassium. Soymeats sounds awful.

Seitan, tempeh, FRESH tofu, are amazing things. If you lived in Indonesia or Malaysia, you'd see these things all over the place as commonly as you'd see chips and cookies in the USA. Get used to this way of eating and there's no need to think of it as a big change, or a difficult switch.

A tip for comfort eating- freeze a load of peeled bananas, and when you're in the mood for icec cream, blend them in a robot, add some peanut butter ( natural) or cocoa powder, and you get an amazing ice cream.

There are many good vegan "meats" that you can buy frozen, which are great if you aren't even vegetarian. Some are really good tasting, some suck. You have to try a few different brands.

I love Morning Star because most of theirs tastes real. The bacon, just so you know, is disgusting and doesn't taste like real bacon at all. But the burgers and chicken patties are good :) I know you avoid carbs, but if you need a quick meal run to Whole Foods, go to the buffet, and their Asian noodles are vegan, and delicious!

Salad stuff Avoid anything with cane sugar because it's filtered through bone char (obviously not vegan...). Beet sugar is good for you to use at home, but do not buy anything with sugar from the store.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
