What to eat when you have Cancer.

Well, for those of you that know me well, you know how much I love a slab of ribs, a piece of fried chicken, a cheesesteak. Unfortunately, those are NOT on the list. Mere is reading a book called "what to eat when you have cancer" (thank god for her- i can't bring myself to research stuff yet. call it the ostrich technique), and it's basically ruling out everything in a 'western' diet (i.e. french fries, processed meats, all red meat and most all meats, processed foods, desserts, etc), and really recommending things like fish, beans, legumes, unprocessed grains, soy products, etc. Apparently, it's mostly vegetarian fare, as the incidence of cancer in vegetarians is WAY lower than that of meat eaters (this is likened to all the crap they pump into animals these days). Mere and I have always been pretty healthy eaters, but this is just one notch higher than we've been, and boy no meat will be tough (we are meat-atarians). We tried making millet last night....decent but bland. never heard of the stuff before. Like a cross btw cous cous and pasta, but a grain. We've realized we're gonna have to expirament to get this stuff tasting to our liking, but we're looking into cooking with cancer classes and such. I'm thinking lots of gravy and sauces, and will so, so, so be looking forward to that once or twice a month when I get to spoil myself with a treat of bbq ribs (gas grill- charcoal is full of carcinogens) or fried chicken and french fries! Lord, I will miss my meats, but if this is what I have to do to keep cancer away, then so be it.
