Last week (November 2022) a whole semi load of turkeys, 900 I was told, was delivered to an entire community in need. As I observed the cars line up and down the streets and the joy of the delivery people it made me think…
So often in my profession I hear “eat this protein, eat that protein” Instead what if we started our protein conversation with “I’m so grateful I get to eat” and then (if possible), move into to; “what protein is the best for my body” & “how does this protein make me feel”?
Maybe then yogi’s and hunters could get along?
Raw meat/eggs, pea and rice, venison and buffalo, wild caught salmon and more all have had their waves of fad protein since I’ve been a doctor. Soon it will be cricket so maybe we should be happy with the tofurkey!
Whatever protein you chose this Thanksgiving may it be delightful and joyous
