Full disclosure: I’m an omnivore. I enjoy a variety of food, and my diet has the framework of a Mediterranean DASH diet (check out the latest edition of DASH Diet For Dummies). This is what works for both my health and my eating preferences.

Instead of pressuring fellow omnivores to avoid meat, I’d rather encourage them to add more vegetables and grains to their dishes, so in this book, I try to offer a variety of recipes that may appeal to many palates. In Part 3, you find many plant-based recipes, such as the Penne Bake with Veggies, Bow Ties with Peas, Lentil-Stuffed Zucchini, and the Mushroom Turkey Burgers. Of course, you may find Roast Pork Loin with Apples and Onions, Grilled Marinated Flank Steak, and Foil-pack Greek Chicken with Olives, Feta, and Peppers to be appealing as well.

Smaller portions of meat can share the plate with fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products. Saturated fat is what is most linked to disease. Saturated fat isn’t just found in meat, however; it’s also found in coconut and palm oils, ghee, butter, and processed baked goods.
