I believe a whole foods vegan diet could very well be the optimal diet. I know I eat a little too much vegan junk food than I should, but I'm working on that.

A typical daily menu around here (when we all sit down to eat together):

Breakfast: Tofu scramble, fruit

Lunch: Tofurkey sandwiches (tofurkey, lettuce, tomato, avocado, vegan mayo, and mustard on rye) with Baked Lays

Dinner: Cashew paella (rice, tons of veggies, cashews), romaine salad

Dessert: Sorbet or an all-fruit popsicle for the kids

Snacks: nuts, fruit

But this is just an example. Sometimes we're heavier on the carbs and sometimes we're heavier on the protein. Sometimes we have peanut butter chocolate vegan ice cream and sometimes we have no dessert.

We generally get our B12 from fortified rice milk.
