Saving American Indians' Diet
Eli Reichman for The Chronicle Review
Devon A. Mihesuah at home in her kitchen, Baldwin City, Kan., April 2, 2010
Enlarge ImageIf Devon A. Mihesuah had her way, American Indians would abandon their love of fry bread, quit drinking so much, and embrace a healthy, active lifestyle like that of their ancestors. As a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a professor of global-indigenous-nations studies at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, she has made it her goal to educate her fellow tribe members about the importance of nutrition and fitness.
Mihesuah has long sought to empower American Indians

Primary Prevention NOW !! [That's evidence-based health education for cost-savings]
http://maynardclark.spaces.live.com
The signature I sign in health care petitions is the signature that includes the clarification that I would support universal inclusion that is truly caring for health, not merely managing disease, and that I believed we could afford to guarantee THAT kind of healthcare as a fundamental right IF we include primary prevention that is behaviorally-oriented and evidence-based.
Ensuring healthy vegetarian (read vegan) meal options (along with suitable health education that sees the benefits of plant-based diets) for students, we cannot deliver the experiential knowledge of what health-supporting eating actually is (and providing a health-aware future for those young citizens going forward).

PCRM's 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program launches on September 8
Examiner.com
Tomorrow is the day! The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) launches their 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program on September 8. Sign up for free and you’ll receive daily tips and recipes to keep you informed, plus access to a discussion board to keep you motivated. Their website is packed with menu ideas and recipes.
The goal of the program is to help Americans adopt a more healthful diet and lifestyle for weight control and prevention of chronic disease. But it’s a great opportunity for anyone who wants to eliminate their use of animal products for a more ethical and compassionate lifestyle.
One caveat about the program; the recipes and menus are very low in fat. You can tweak them to suit your needs and tastes by choosing full-fat soymilk instead of nonfat and by using regular vegan salad dressings rather than nonfat ones. Sprinkle nuts and seeds onto salads or grain dishes, too; they can be an important part of a healthy vegan diet.
However you choose to use the kickstart program, if you have been thinking about going vegan, this is a great way to get the support that can make it happen!
Sign up here for the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program (it's free) and check out resources for recipes and menus here.

We've all heard that there is an obesity epidemic. According to the CDC, in 2008 only one state had obesity rates below 20%. Given the trend of the statistics for the rate of obesity, we can only assume that the obesity rate is still growing in 2009. Obesity is the leading cause of heart disease and type-2 diabetes, as well as some types of cancer, respiratory problems, and an array of other illnesses. According to the book Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis, RD and Vesanto Melina, RD, vegans on average have much lower rates of obesity than do non-vegetarians, weighing nearly 10% less than their meat eating counterparts.
Overeating, and in particular overeating of unhealthy, nutrient deficient foods leads to many cases of obesity. Most of these foods are high in fat, high in calories, and high in cholesterol. Many of these unhealthy foods, like meat, cheese and other dairy products are physically addicting. According to Dr. Neal Barnard, MD, author of Breaking the Food Seduction and President of PCRM, meat, cheese and other dairy products contain casomorphins, which attach to the brain's opiate receptors and cause an effect that is similar to opiate drugs such as morphine and heroin. Dr. Barnard says that it can take just 3 weeks for these addictions to food to be broken, but that it's best to leave behind meat, cheese and dairy cold turkey, or more appropriately, cold tofu. By eating these in moderation you are just setting yourself up for failure and relapse. Just as you would with any drug you are addicted to, success requires stopping all together.
The PCRM is hoping that you will successfully break these food addictions and seductions on their 21-day Vegan Kickstart and be on the way to a happier, healthier you. To sign up to participate in the Vegan Kickstart and to receive daily tips, recipes and motivation via e-mail, visit the PCRM's petition site.
Need support locally, or help finding vegan suitable foods? Visit Rainbow Blossom Natural Food Market and speak with their helpful staff. The staff at Amazing Grace Whole Foods and Nutrition Center will also be happy to help you. Visit your neighborhood farmers market, and load up on fresh fruits and vegetables
