I think the fact that another human being knows what quinoa is, is enough to make me a very very happy person today. Btw, you never commented on my health and nutrition post: http://www.thedisplacedafrican.com/95/nutrition-facts-you-are-what-you-eat/
Am glad you like quinoa too - you should share your recipes?

I actually thought about it since and I am actually not a vegan because I eat fish. The interesting thing is I can actually easily go without fish and/or meat, I don’t really have cravings for it.
I consume a little too much cheese about once a week ala vegetable pizzas and focacia sandwiches but I also have no strong cheese or milk cravings.
The one thing that I have uber-strong cravings for is starch and so my goal is to eventually eliminate starch cravings from my diet and rebuild my diet from the ground up with the aim of being 100% raw vegan, if it works of course, otherwise I’ll just keep experimenting till I find the best diet for me.
