I think it's terrific you are growing your own sprouts. That is the best way to get them!

Yeah, I get it about the "meat". I gave up beef a long long time ago. I'm still going to eat fish but I can't afford to buy the fish like I was doing. I can't stand chicken any more, so that's not too hard to give up.
I'll get my protein from the sprouts (they are chock full), from the tuna (15 grams a can), and from whatever protein shake I can get. I've been looking into viable sources of protein. I do love my eggs in the a.m. My cholesterol is just fine, thank goodness.
I just can't stand to cup up another chicken. Especially after I saw how they treat them (in the cages, etc.)
I can't afford organic meats. I just can't. That's why I started to grow my own sprouts.
And today was my last day using my lettuce. For dinner I actualy had a salad that I completely grew myself. Well, except for the grape tomatoes that is.
But the rest was grown in my kitchen. It was delicious.
I wonder what else I can grow.!!!
