My wife just bought brussel sprouts at $4/lb. That is steak territory. Fresh fruits and vegetables are ridiculously priced.

I am not mean to animals...
Farming meat from animals doesn't have to involve cruelty. They don't comprehend life and death like we do, so they don't experience terror like we would. The animals are generally slaughtered quickly.

The reason to avoid gluten is celiac disease. If you don't have it, then there is no reason to avoid gluten. If the disease is on the rise, it's probably due to the same reason the whole species has gotten weaker over time; medicine that compensates for genetic liabilities.

I will pass on tofu asado, though.
Meat is full of flavor if you get the right cuts. A good marbled steak needs nothing, but is enhanced by a little salt, pepper, and perhaps some grilled mushrooms. Sure, chicken lacks flavor, but that's why the Good Lord gave us The Colonel.

Do you eat meat with pina coladas?

Oh, and my vote is soy. I'm not sure how solid the research is, but I've heard certain soy proteins encourage the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

... and most of the vegetarians I have known are overweight. Potato chips are vegetarian.
