WFPB diet for Obesity, IHF, & Diabetes Redux

[hazelrah]

Here is the recommended food list

Looks a little like the MWL

How come nobody ever mentions turnips, carrots or radishes in these things? Silverbeet even gets it's own bullet point and nobody ever calls chard that. ( I had to look up what it was.) But watermelon radishes and turnips, everybody forgets about. I might be misreading the table, but it looks kind of light on starch to me , too. No squash, no peas,... Are they just included in vegetables?

Yes. I think you're misreading it. . But then again, it was not provided to you as part of the ongoing educational classes which the subjects received.

1) It's a simplified teaching tool.

2) if you get to concise in your message, people complain & want more info. If you give more info, they want a concise answer.

3) They are all vegetables (squash, peas, etc)

Personally, I think it is important for several reasons to separate non-starchy from starchy vegetables but not everyone else does.

Just teasing you. But it is upsetting to see all my favorite legal foods get squeezed out for stuff like chard and watercress. Turnip greens don't even get into Dr E's one breath mantra and there's some other weird leaves that make it in there. Watercress but no arugula? What is the WFPB world coming to?
