Muesli
-- a really healthy breakfast meal that can be sweetened using assorted dried fruits. I also throw in some almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and ground flax seed to boost the amount of healthy fats and protein.Homemade Granola -- ususally not as healthy as muslie, because of all the fat and sugar needed to get the oats to stick together, but certainly better than bacon and eggs -- recipe
Multigrain Pancakes -- recipe
Tofu Scramble -- like scrambled eggs, but with...tofu! ChooseVeg has a great video that shows you how to make this great meal.
Vegan French Toast -- You can make traditional or banana vegan french toast, and it tastes just as good without the milk and eggs.
Barley or Wheatberry Porridge. It was a good enough breakfast for folks in the Middle Ages, so it should do the trick for you as well. Just cook the barley or wheat berries according to the instructions on the packet. During the last five minutes of cooking add
soymilk, honey (not technically vegan, I know), cinnamon, raisins or other dried fruits and crushed walnuts/almonds.Eating a healthy breakfast consisting of whole grains, some protein (e.g., tofu or soy milk) and some healthy fats (e.g., nuts or seeds) is a great way to start off your day and give you the energy you need to be productive. Any of the breakfasts described above will be a whole-lot healthier for you than some damned McMuffin, omelettes, or any of the other animal-based breakfasts that many American's eat. You'll be helping your heart and waistline at the same time you are saving the lives of animals. A win-win situation for all involved--except for factory farmers, that is).

Why are the lives of vegetables (and, of course, fruit and grains) any less precious and sacred than those of animals?
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting quite a long time to take you on, Dr. Fallon,and finally I have found an issue that we disagree upon! Of course, being Irish, you couldn't possibly understand how anyone could survive on anything other than a meat and potatoe diet.
ReplyDeleteYou know damn well why the lives of vegetables are less precious than those of animals....It's because vegetables(and fruits and grains) are not as cute as animals. I thought the answer was fairly obvious!
I find my potato (some of us spell it without the final "e"; others, like youself and Dan Quayle, do otherwise) very cute. Cuddly, even.
ReplyDeleteSo, so far you argument is quite faulty, to my ears.
I follow dan Quayle in all my spelling choices. He is a meat and potato(e) eater too, so you should admire him!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm pretty sure that at least some fo our Founding Fathers spelled it "potatoe."
Im gonna have to agree with Dr. Fallon on this one mike. As cute and cuddly as cows are they are just no match for the beauty found in oats and museli. but dont get me wrong that was a very good and very filling cereal. but how could you not like to eat a nice slab of fresh dead animal.

LOL@chris's comment...bring on the slabs of DEEP FRIED DEAD ANIMALS!
ReplyDeleteDear Mike and Dr. Fallon:
ReplyDeleteI like to read you going back and forth like children. It is quite fun to read.
I agree with the deep fried dead animals - bring it on.
While I do agree with eating a healthy breakfast, and some of the recepies seem tasting. Most people are always on the go and look for a quick meal to get them started and on their way. Also the time to get those the breafast ingredients you suggested can be costly and time consuming trying to find time in your traditional supermarket.
