In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Thanks for the tips. I´m growing herbs in my kitchen window Love the smell of basil
most of us dont have comunity gardens, some have terraces/balconies..

Oh, that's great! You'd be amazed at how much food can be grown on a balcony! There are dwarf fruit trees, that get only about 5 or 6 feet tall, and can be grown in pots. In a small, say, 4 by 8 foot space, one could grow a fruit tree, potatoes, tomatoes, lots of salad greens, cucumbers, squash, peppers, strawberries and blueberries! The strawberries and tomatoes can be grown in hanging pots. You could grow an entire barrel of potatoes! All in that tiny space! Then, in the window, in about 2 feet by 1 foot, one could grow alfalfa sprouts, lentil sprouts, mung sprouts, and other varieties of sprouts, providing all the salad greens you could possibly want! Harvestable in just a few days! It's cheap, fun and easy!

Yes, I know. I try to tell her that. She aggress but then she goes all about the lack of iron I might have for not having meat and all her grandmother remedies and blah blah blah she´s only caring and she prepares with love this beautiful food for me to feel better. So I´m just grateful to her and her effort. But yes, I agree with alternative methods.

It's difficult when they don't understand that we now know plenty of iron can be gotten from leafy greens, etc., but really do care and are offering their 'old school' ways with love. You are blessed to have someone who cares about you!
