I got this from my husband who eats everything. I love this pyramid, it's the way I try to eat. I found when I eat more greens, I started gaining weight. My first 4 years of eating raw foods, I ate mostly fruit and lost 30 pounds. I was not fat, I was thin. I weighed 135 when I started and got down to 105 at my lowest. By eating more greens, I've gained weight and now weigh 120 pounds. I feel better, look better (I got really ugly). I don't like being that skinny. I hope to gain another 5 pounds in muscle weight.
It is time to develop a big ‘US’, rather than the old ‘us and them’ that lets us to exploit and bully others on a personal level, and on an international level to wage war. The East must see the West as part of ‘US’ and the North must come to feel that the South is part of ‘US’. We should include the entire world in our concern, wishing all humanity well. If we can do that there will be no room for hatred, thinking of others as enemies. And we will achieve this through education, not through prayer.--Dalai Lama
