1) I am eating them now.  Green salad with peppers tomatoes a heap of grapes.

2) I  don't really focus on the number but I think I probably do on average throughout the week. I was a veggie for years when I was studying because I couldn't afford quality meat. Now I still find myself eating way more veggie meals than meals with meat in.

3) I don't.  But with most meals I like some fresh green leaves. I don't feel right I I don't.  I'm addicted to spinach and HATE to steam or blanch it. I usually have a smoothie when I get in from work too. Spinach, apple, grape is a favourite.

4) Love them,  mate. I'd go veggie again in a heartbeat if I didn't have access to plenty of wild game and beef that hasn't been messed about with.

5) Raw is best for the most part. I do steam some things but never things that are good raw like carrots or peppers or me beloved spinach.

6) together usually.  But I like a smoothie an hour or too before if that helps.


How do I rate Shooey? I think I live a pretty healthy lifestyle but you can always do better.

I eat meat twice a week on weekends. Usually a chicken breast or lamb rump, both organic. During the week vegetables and eggs only. No dairy at all, only almond milk.Very limited starch, i.e. no spuds, pasta, bread, cakes etc. This diet has cured my obesity/type 2 diabetes/asthma/and general ennui about life. I eat leafy greens, berries, nuts and seeds, every day and i supplement with fish oil, vit D3, and nettle root concentrate. I steam most veg or braise in olive oil. If having meat I always make sure i have a leafy green with it to promote 'transit'. I have noticed that eating meat slows bowel movements by up to 2 days.

The simple answer is ''when I was five and a half years old and had no choice''. Yuk.

My wife cooks me green vegetables most days - peas, green beans, cabbage, sprouts, broccoli or spinach.

You are all freakishly healthy.

I like green veg and salad but preparing and eating large quantities of them every day is not always practical when you're busy with work and kids and everything.

I had chicken, broccoli, red pepper, onion, yellow squash stir fry on brown rice tonight. Cooked it up in a little olive oil and garlic. The chicken came from a local farm and was running around a barnyard within the last couple of days. Costs a lot more but it's worth it.

Had the world's best quality breakfast and lunch...impossible to improve:

Breakfast
* 24oz (750 ml) of grass, fenugreek sprout and pea shoot juice
* 4 apples

Lunch
* glass of kelp juice
* glass of blue-green algae
* 4 glasses of spouted sesame seed and sprouted chia milk.

l feel absolutely brilliant and completely off my tits! Going to the country to get a sack of walnuts and hazel nuts for sprouting.

Shooman, where do you get the algae? Never tried it but then never saw it at the grocery, either.

My breakfasts and lunches are similar. Smoothies of coconut water, kale banana; muesli of walnuts, apple, raw oats, dates; salad of broccoli sprouts, kale, sunflower seeds.
