I think it would be a good idea that those who eat meat try to at least eat a vegetarian meal daily. We are one of the top countries who eat the most meat per capita, and along with that one of the top countries with the highest rates of heart disease and cancer. I great protein breakfast without meat would be a smoothie with healthy fruit and soy (NON-GMO) protein powder (Spiru-tein is awesome) or a tofu "scramble" (see goveg.com for other recipe ideas). Also, our craving for meat is polluting our environment and using up our precious aquifer water supply. Reducing meat consumption is the best thing you can do for your health, and spare the cruelty inflicted on factory farm animals.

WOW - all these people excited about protein for breakfast in the form of animal flesh. When you wake up in the morning if you saw a cow in your kitchen window, do you start to salivate. How about a chicken, do you immediately thinkg of biting into it feathers and all. No need to even mention swine. Most of us can only eat meat that has been transformed into a familiar shape and wrapped in plastic, and this was not really part of our evolutionary process. You know, those folks that proceeded you and me by 100's of thousands of years. You'd be surprised to learn the true amount of protein in a a predominantly whole food plant based diet - in an era of global change, the sustainability of eating production meat is worth looking into as well. Cow - I guess it's what's for breakfast these days!

I made her recipe today and it was really good. She was right, the house smelled wonderul this morning. It made shredded beef and the meat needed no other seasoning.

I think one of the healthiest breakfasts is the Japanese breakfast:
-miso soup w/ seaweed (fermented soy - is better than processed unfermented soy)
-pickled vegetables (more probiotics)
-leftover grilled salmon or mackeral
-Japanese omelet
-nori (seaweed) + rice
-natto (if you can stomach the taste/smell) (fermented soy beans)

A comment for Cranewhope: a lifetime of eating habits that are damaging to your health unfortunately cannot be reversed in a jiffy by eating bunches of vegetables. The american diet is not the best diet in the world, if you read about where in the world people have less heart disease than in the us you will see it is where meat and fries are not consumed on a daily basis. Therefore you become frustrated because you are now following a diet but it's not fixing everything is totally wrong, let's say you have a car that you put bad fuel in and never change the oil or filters, and it runs good but another person buys it and starts changing the oil and filter but the car brakes down within a month? Well the wear and tear the clogging and poor maintenance have simply taken it's toll, we cannot expect that car to run as good or as long as another one that has been given the proper scheduled maintenance a car needs!! same with our body. Someone can drink and smoke for 20-30 years and be very happy doing it, the day they come into the hospital with a heart attack they still don't understand why, it's called cause and effect. Everything in the material cosmic world follows this principle.

I was just reading more comments, now my specialty is patient teaching in the area of diabetes, I am a Certified Diabetes Educator. A diabetic person should not be eating bacon or eggs or coffee!! first of all the highest cause of death in diabetics is heart disease therefore, foods high in saturated fats are not in the diabetic diet, the second is caffeine anything with caffeine (which is a stimulant and stressor making the heart beat go faster and the body has to release sugar for energy) will make the blood sugar go up, therefore people with diabetes need to be properly advised by diabetes educators to learn the proper diet and where they need to keep their blood sugars before and after meals, this is in an effort to minimize the effects diabetes has on the body which after a few years, will cause many severe complications.

Vegetarians have always known how meat affects our health and how the meat market affects the environment, the problem is people will not listen to what they don't want to hear, people want to keep gratifying their senses without any regards to their health or the environment. When things are out of hand with health in a meat eating society like this one and when the global warming starts kicking us more and more they may finally come to realize the effect their eating habits are having, but unfortunately sometimes it is too late. I have been a nurse for more than 25 years and this seems to be the case with most people, until they see the untowards effects something has on their health (smoking, drinking, meat eating etc.) they do not stop and even then some continue to do the very things that are killing them. Very sad to see....but people really are what they eat!! Keep it friendly towards yourselves and our planet!!

Why did you not want to touch the meat?

I have to say if you are going to slow cook....and I think 3-4 hours is ample time....then at least take the opportunity to add some other nutritious ingredients, rather than just meat and Garlic!
........As a purely personal thing.... I don't fancy that for breafast!
I have a lightly boiled large Duck egg, some days preceded by some home-made 'meusli', organic goat's yoghurt and a small handful of black grapes or blueberies.
It is facinating and somewhat amusing, to read the huge diversity of advice and opinions...as ever!!
It can all get very confusing and I try to eat simple, fresh 'real' food....about 50%raw....and avoid anything processed, man-made as far as possible.
Imagine you are looking out of your cave....now eat the foods that you see.....
.....What?...no supermarket or Mcsh.. burgers...?!:)

Why then are we advised not to eat red meat to avoid HBP and eat porridge for breakfast because it helps lower cholesterol. This is very confusing.

Thanks witchdoctor for your input. I do think your right, even though soaking might be best, the body can thrive just fine and many times I do use fermented foods to help digestion when I can.. Does anyone else agree that you don't have to soak tahini and almond butter? Some say you have to soak all seeds and nuts?
