RE: Hawaii advice?

November 14, 2004

Most tropical fruits are beneficial to Os: pineapple, banana, mango, etc.,

there are also some good wheat alternatives: sweet potatoes, taro root,

rice. Meat is a challenge, it's hard to find good quality meat there, at

least as a tourist. Pigs and Chicken are big, but pork is out. If she can

find good quality beef, then building a diet out of fruit, fish, meat, eggs,

seaweed and vegetables would be a good place to start.

A little off the topic of healthy diets, but they have Mos Burgers there if

I remember right...I'm jealous of that. Don't know anything about the meat

in them, but the Mos Burger's in Japan had lettuce wrapped burgers that

taste incredible.

Hawaii advice?

My O sister lives in Hawaii and I was trying to introduce BTD to

her. Any advice of healthy eating in Hawaii where much of the

produce I take for granted here on the mainland is unavailable,

expensive or pathetic in quality? Are there some healthy more

locally available foods that I may not think of because they are

unavailable, expensive or pathetic in quality here? Guava is one

that comes to mind. Mahi Mahi, too. Anything else or other advice?

She lives on Oahu.

I was only there for two weeks so am not an expert. But the weirdest

thing to me was the high cost of beef considering Hawaii island has such

huge ranches.

Pineapples are everywhere - and hopefully guava is not only used for

firewood - I could not believe the waste :-))) I could almost live on

guava :-)

Banana is there.

There is Lilkoi too which is passion fruit family (so is Grenadilla in

South Africa) - and I hope those are O-compatible as they are highly

full of nutrients - like guavas in that respect. Can't find these in the

BTD Encyclopaedia though and lately can't find passion fruit in the

stores either. Where'd they go?

There's wonderful fish in Hawaii.

The over supply of coconut is not O-ish worse luck.

Berries and cherries are not so easy - they like a cold winter.

Most other fruit is easy.

The climate is such that practically anything can be grown there all

year round. Maybe send a list of beneficial O foods and ask your sister

which are readily available. Growing a vegetable garden would be a piece

of cake from seeds otherwise.

Love that climate :-))

Namaste,

Irene
