"We have lots of delicious Veggie Day recipes such as Fresh and Light Tacos or Four Bean Chili or Asian Broccoli Salad with Asian Inspired Red Pepper Dressing and Quinoa, or a simple veggie burger with a whole grain dinner roll piled high with SuperFoods Vegetables and a side soup or salad. Wednesday is the perfect day for this: It's in the middle of the week, it's a good reminder that you're on a particular editing plan and it's a practice that will help to reinforce your new, healthy habits. If Wednesday isn't good for you, pick another day." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Take your pick: I haven't found a single veggie burger yet that doesn't contain MSG. They're all made with chemical taste enhancers. So much for "100 percent natural," huh? And just because a product claims to be natural doesn't mean it is. Just because something's "vegetarian" doesn't mean it's good for you. Vegetarian food manufacturers can be just as deceptive as everybody else, it seems. Look, I'm no fan of meat products, and I don't eat red meat, but I'd much prefer an honest free-range chicken sandwich over a deceptively manufactured veggie burger loaded with chemical taste enhancers." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "Yet even the veggie burger manufacturers insist it's a "100 percent natural" ingredient. It sort of makes you wonder what else they stuff into their veggie burgers and consider to be "100 percent natural" as well. I suppose by their definition, you could add heavy metals like mercury and lead to the recipe, because those occur "naturally" on the planet as well. The most interesting part in all this, though, was in learning that even the employees who work at food manufacturing companies have no clue what's really in their foods." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"After a long day at work, Nancy had no interest in preparing a gourmet meal, so her dinners were quick and easy: a veggie burger with frozen mixed vegetables, which she microwaved. Sometimes she had nothing more than a bowl of bran cereal. A late-night fruit snack rounded things out. We gave her group a supermarket tour and provided cooking demonstrations to introduce everyone to healthful products that might be new to them. Nancy preferred to keep it simple and started making a large pot of soup to eat all week. "I am not a cook," she said. "And I find it very easy to stay on this program." - Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs (Get the book.) "Whether you favor a chickpea salad, black bean chili, or a soy-based veggie burger or other meat substitute, legumes are handy, healthy ingredients. The one thing the bean group lacks is good public relations. Its health benefits have gone largely unnoticed. Nutrition scientists, however, know that putting these healthy powerhouses front and center on your menu is a great way to drive down your weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol." - Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs (Get the book.) "Denny's offers a veggie burger, and most family restaurants serve plenty of side vegetables that together make a good vegetable plate. Some fast-food restaurants offer salad bars. With chickpeas, threebean salad, cherry tomatoes, and chopped vegetables, a salad becomes a hearty meal. In that vein, one of the best ways to get healthy food fast is to stop at any large supermarket and patronize its salad bar. A wealth of great choices is right at your fingertips. Nancy's and Vance's Experiences Nancy often dined with friends who liked good food and good restaurants." - Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs (Get the book.)

"I suggest soy-based garden burgers, and recommend any sort of veggie burger over the powders used by athletes as protein supplements. Burgers give the stomach something to digest, but their nutrients are still quickly assimilated. Falafel, millet, lentil, mushroom—a vegetarian burger exists for every taste, and many varieties are readily available in supermarkets and health food stores. Ideally, sandwich a veggie burger on seven-grain bread. Whole wheat or whole grain buns are also healthy options. A veggie burger makes for a substantial lunch or post-workout breakfast." - Barnet Meltzer, M.D., Food Swings: Make the Life-Changing Connection Between the Foods You Eat and Your Emotional Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"If you generally go for a burger, you might choose a veggie burger. If you have dinner at an Italian restaurant, you might have spaghetti with tomato sauce and fresh basil. At a Mexican restaurant, you would skip the meat taco in favor of a bean burrito (hold the cheese). At a Chinese restaurant, you could have your pick of the many vegetable dishes on a bed of rice. At this point, you may be thinking, "Spaghetti? Rice? Am I allowed to have these carbohydrate-rich foods?" The answer is yes." - Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs (Get the book.)

"Whole wheat or whole grain buns are also healthy options. A veggie burger makes for a substantial lunch or post-workout breakfast. For dinner, add a chlorophyll salad, seven-grain bread, and don't forget the Sunset Recharges carrot juice. For an empowering alternative to spaghetti and meatballs, add chopped veggie burgers to a bowl of whole-grain pasta. 10. Tempeh Tempeh is formed by fermenting tofu with Rhizopus oligosporus. In the process, tofu's inherent genistein and isoflavones are further enhanced, making tempeh a rich source of protein." - Barnet Meltzer, M.D., Food Swings: Make the Life-Changing Connection Between the Foods You Eat and Your Emotional Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"A grilled veggie burger on sourdough bread topped with a slice of tomato, onion, pickles, and lots of alfalfa sprouts announces that summer has officially arrived! • Alfalfa sprouts make a crunchy addition to any sandwich. Two favorites: whole-wheat bread with tuna salad and alfalfa sprouts, or provolone cheese, sliced avocado, and sprouts. • Top cold summer soups with a dollop of nonfat yogurt and a generous handful of alfalfa sprouts. SAFETY Alfalfa sprouts have been linked to outbreaks of food borne illness caused by the bacteria Salmonella and E. coli." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"As well, PETA offered to give McDonald's a free two-page promotional spread in its member magazine, which goes to more than 600,000 people, if the company would test-market a veggie burger nationwide.21 This seemed reasonable, in that McDonald's restaurants in many European countries offer vegetarian burgers and vegetarian nuggets, and the market for veggie burgers in the United States has been expanding rapidly in recent years." - John Robbins, Food Revolution: How your diet can help save your life and our world (Get the book.)

"Look, I'm no fan of meat products, and I don't eat red meat, but I'd much prefer an honest free-range chicken sandwich over a deceptively manufactured veggie burger loaded with chemical taste enhancers. Corruption at the FDA favors food companies, not the safety of consumers When consumers are confused and the nutrition facts label can be used to obscure the facts, it is the food producers who win - in terms of profits." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.) "In this essay, I named a certain company (I won't repeat the name here) and explained that their veggie burger product contained yeast extract even though the front of the box proudly proclaimed "100 percent natural!" In response, their public relations person demanded a retraction of the essay, insisting that their product contained no MSG and was completely natural. Apparently no one at this company had told their public relations person that yeast extract was a chemical taste enhancer, so I educated her about MSG and yeast extract." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
