  1. I’m always happy to stumble across others that have been converted by Colin Campbell’s Whole and other research in the same vein! I was surprised to see that you use oil in your recipes. From what I’ve gathered, the whole-foods plant-based community stays away from added fats like oils. Of course that doesn’t mean I’ve /completely/ cut them from my diet cause that’s tough!! Have you read anything about that?

    1. Hi Anthony – thank you for asking this question! I try to limit processed oil for the reasons espoused by the plant-based community. However, since there are other health professionals who tout the benefits of some plant oils I let a little slip in when I feel it’s necessary. I followed a strict low-fat diet when I first adopted the plant-based lifestyle. But I discovered I felt better when I included more healthy fats from whole foods like avocado, nuts and seeds. (As suggested by Dr. Fuhrman.) So I’ve relaxed my standards a bit over the years – but I still go oil free most of the time. Make sense?

      1. P.S. You’ll note the 1 tsp. of olive oil used in this recipe is considerably less than what would typically be used for french fries. But it’s just enough to add a bit of flavor and crispiness to keep the dining experience enjoyable. 🙂
