Re: [pct-l] Vegan calories

[Tom Hopkins <java2@ix.netcom.com>]

I have been a  vegitarian/vegan for years. I have never had a problem
with energy during long distance hikes or long distance runs. I ran 16
miles this morning and really doubt if eating steak would make me run
any faster:-). I think the whole protein thing has been blown out of
proportion by the meat industry.
As far as eating in towns...even Red's Meadows has potato chips!
