Fighting Vegetarian Resistance One of Dr. John McDougall's personal challenges is to change peoples' prejudices about vegetarianism. He says people usually think of meat or fish when they think of dinner-meat loaf, ham, steak or hamburgers get top billing, rather than potatoes, broccoli or carrots.
Meat is thought of as flavorful, vegetables are bland.
But, he says, the opposite is true. Beef, chicken and fish really have no taste to them. Boiled chicken or beef is not interesting. The only way we make them tasty is with sauces. The McDougall Program replaces this unhealthful food that is full of cholesterol, sodium and fat with healthful foods.
