Very good. I still have my Diet For A Small Planet cookbook. I never went completely vegetarian but luckily I love vegetables and eat lots of them! I am one of those who never learned that Frances Moore Lappé corrected her initial statement. Thanks for the info! I always learn something from your posts.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Liz! That’s so great that you love vegetables and eat a lot of them! They are so good for us! And yes… I didn’t know that Frances M.L. corrected her initial statement until a couple years ago. It’s so interesting!
