-- Is the Fuhrman Member Center worth the cost for someone who has read "Eat To Live" and is familiar with Esselstyn/McDougall/Ornish/Novick concepts?
-- Any tips for keeping costs down for someone eating a diet like McDougall ETL/Fuhrman. Make the salad the meal is expensive, particularly in Winter. (Yes, medications are more expensive....

-- If I may recommend a book, the "Forks Over Knives" companion to the movie is quite good. A gentle, non-technical introduction to the advantages of LF vegan eating that is very accessible for newbies, along with a bunch of decent recipes. Cheap, too. http://www.amazon.com/Forks-Over-Knives-Plant-Based-Health/dp/1615190457/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315158073&sr=1-1
I haven't seen the movie yet, but it is in my Netflix queue.View Thread

Cabbage, beans, corn, onion, tomatoes, chiles. Yum!

I haven't made this yet, but I've put on my to-do list. Looks simple and tasty.View Thread

I'm considering Fuhman's "Super Immunity" book. I bought the revised E2L this year, but was disappointed that it really had not changed that much from the previous edition. I hope the immunity book will add more value for readers of his previous work.
I've learned a bunch reading old posts on this board. I especially enjoy science-based posts with citations and links. It is nice to see controversial issues discussed in a civil manner, like the merits of including nuts in the diet.
I've seen Novick's forums on McDougall's site mentioned in this board. Another valuable resource (IMHO) is http://www.happyhealthylonglife.com/ The author is a medical librarian at the Cleveland Clinic and an Esselstyn fan. She is very evidence-based in her postings and cites authoritative resources. Good recipes, too!

Why "raboof"? My usual choices were taken. Inverting the polite form of FUBAR makes a nym that is easy to remember. Like you, my diet is occasionally FUBAR too...
