Nutritarian Thanksgiving Feast

     I look forward to Thanksgiving every year. We feast on our favorite fall weather foods and watch the Macy’s parade from the comfort of our recliners. A wonderful lazy day, steeped in tradition. Years ago, we stopped eating meat for health reasons, but we’re not really vegans. I prefer Dr. Fuhrman’s term – Nutritarian, which means we eat a diet that consists of high quality nutrition.  We buy organic when we can afford it, and focus on plant foods. Our protein comes from nuts, beans, lentils, fish and pasture raised eggs. So, what does my nutritarian Thanksgiving menu consist of? Well. I don’t know what Dr. Fuhrman is eating, but we enjoy a day of meals similar to what we imagine the pilgrims ate.
