A few days back Miguel wrote to me about grain intolerance, and how it makes simple meals a difficulty. God, I thought, that must be so tough, right?

In the span of four years since I started blogging my views about food and health have progressively changed. I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian, later a lacto-vegetarian and now am a vegan. I looked around for something to negate my reasons to go vegan in the beginning - all those questions that readers ask me.
