I like most things on a Mediterranean Diet. Now if someone would just cook it for me. However, I will add a Doctor said that broccoli is not good if you have a thyroid problem, which I do.

Hooray! That diet is a lot like what I eat though I eat less fish. Lacto-ovo-vegetarians sometimes cheat and have the odd sardine or shrimp.

The last sardine I saw was really odd.

Nuthatch, interesting article. Thanks for posting. I do not use any salt, I get it through processed foods. I have edema problems in my ankles and feet. Now I wish I could eat salt. He was tough on vegetables. He doesn't seem to think we need them, or at least very much. That was in the vegetable part. I began to feel sorry for vegetables when he told what a hard time they have and how they really don't like us. Not sure how much I can change. Wish there was some other way to get iodine.

Thanks!

Wish there was some other way to get iodine.

They do make iodine supplements. Find out how much you need then shop around.

Here's one example I found. Only registered and activated users can see links., Click Here To Register...

Vicky, will look into weather I should do this or not. This is something I would like to run by my Doctor. Thanks for posting this info.

Love the look of that salad with tomatoes, red onions, black olives and feta cheese. Just a little lettuce. Uhmmmmm! so good.

May I have a Mediterranean to cook for me?
Preferably a northern Italian named Paulo whose mother is french.

Sto bene bene bene.

It does look good doesn't it?

[SalpalSally]

Leave out the tomatoes for me please!
and add a blob of sour cream.

Spoken like a true Ohioan, Sally.
My Ohio cousins would not eat tomato sauce on their pasta and
their pizza featured cream cheese.

I'm a yankee who grew up around italians and irish.
We all ate southern eye-talian food.

Broccoli not good?


Nuthatch, I'm leery of that article. It reminds me of those anti-meat and anti-milk articles. If we believe all of them, there would be nothing left to eat!
