You're right @tioluis... there are stacks of benefits in eating a predominantly veggie/vegan diet. It seems that people who eat meat every meal or every day encounter more illness than those who only eat meat occasionally or not at all. From a personal perspective my fibromayalgia symptoms vastly reduced after cutting out meat from my diet, and I don't sweat as much either, which I found very interesting.

I'm very happy that you feel the SCC is helping raise awareness about healthy eating... that pleases me very much! As you know I try to encourage healthy choices through example, and it seems the same is true for many of you who regularly participate. I think all of us involved with this challenge are doing a very positive thing here and already have increased the knowledge and cooking skills of many 'viewers'. Fantastic! I hope that you continue sharing your recipes @tioluis, as they seem to get a very good response from people looking for healthy, tasty and something a 'bit different' :-)
