Meat at Every Meal?

The American way: it's not a meal without meat.  The blue zone way: meat is a delicacy.  In the blue zones, you do not see vegans and vegetarians but you see meat used as something to have on a special occasion.  This is probably a hard one for most of us to adapt to (unless you are a vegetarian), but if you are eating meat at every meal then you might want to think about cutting back and using other sources of protein.

Here is my tip:
Get kids involved in growing and picking fruits and veggies!  Also, teach them at a young age that they don't need meat at every meal--lots of times we do what we do because that is how we grew up doing it.
