just thought I'd share... Went to a cigar shop to sit around and share stogies with the guys. One of the fellows brings up his paleo diet and how eating mostly meat lowered his cholesterol. Then he says that beans are bad for you and dietary fiber is a myth. I told him that he sounded like Mark Sisson and he unknowingly thanked me 
after several other guys espoused high protein, low carbohydrate concepts, I told the fellows that I was a vegan and that my dietary cholesterol levels were outstanding. You could have heard a pin drop.... 
so then someone started talking about RG3 and the Redskins. Hahaha. I almost never play the advocate. Ever. Does anyone else find themselves defending their dietary choices? Later, someone asked me how I get adequate protein and I tossed out the stock answers and explained that I have no problem getting 100 grams of protein each day without trying, hint: I eat beans.
