Thomas Jefferson is a good role model for eating your politics.
Eat Your Politics
Eat like Thomas Jefferson…meat as a condiment or flavoring
“As the founder of the University of Virginia, Jefferson had a say in all aspects of its building and operations. He drew up the daily menu for the students. It was heavy on vegetables and fruits. Only the mid-day meal included a small portion of meat.
for breakfast. Wheat or cornbread, at the choice of each particular, with butter, and milk, or Coffee-au-lait, at the choice of each. no meat.
for dinner. a soup, a dish of salt meat, a dish of fresh meat, & as great a variety of vegetables well cooked as you please.
for supper, corn or wheat bread at their choice, & milk, or Coffee-au-lait, also at their choice, but no meat.”
From a medical standpoint
Eating less meat and sustainably raised meat is important for climate change as well. Work to make farms and farming practices environmentally friendly.
It is citrus and greens time in Sonoma County….healthy and tasty!

Interesting I wonder where he got the idea of a low meat diet at that time in history?
This article may offer some explanation of why Jefferson used so little meat…
