Dr.Weil's Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid

Dr. Weil while not supporting a total Vegan diet, offers us a a very practical guide to living and eating healthy. For those trying to transition or at least limit your animal protein intake, this is a very good alternative. As you can see that there is very little need for meat to have a healthy lifestyle. I would hope that by making this shift, the next steps would be a full non-animal protein based diet.
In our family we have chosen to not be fanatics about outr Vegan lifestyle but rather adjust to the situation and people we are visitying or dining with. An example is yesterday on the 4th, we attended a barbeque with family and friends that had steak, chicken, sausage and burgers on the menu. I had a taste and enjoyed the steak very much. My feeling is that if we only consume a bit of animal protein our bodies have an amazing ability to handle it. I will not deny though  that my body is dealing with the change this morning.
Enjoy the food pyramid and if you want some help in understanding it please write.
