I never do it just for that reason. :-) I like green stuff.

I find rice to be especially filling.

All I know is that my blood cell counts are higher now that I'm careful
to include meat with (mostly) every meal. My "health nut" doc even told
me so.... but I get tired of meat sometimes! Odd that, it used to be a
non-affordable treat! B-vitamins are abundant in meats, but
non-exisitent in veggies (except yeast but those are a kingdom unto
themselves)) and B-vitamins are vital for blood production.

Oh, damn.
That sounds good!

Do you make your rice with stock?
I _never_ cook rice with water any more... Bland and boring.
