I enjoyed reading about Conscious Ohio's weekly healthy vegan lunches. However, the article may have perpetuated the common misconception that plant-based diets are deficient in iron. In fact, a balanced vegan diet, including beans, grains and leafy greens, easily provides adequate iron. According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Studies have shown that the incidence of iron deficiency anemia is not greater among individuals consuming a healthy vegetarian diet than among those who eat meat.

Post editorial: Eyesore no more

Oct. 14, 2008

Walk down Park Place and you'll see the manicured lawns and the clean front porches of the Honors Tutorial College house, the president's house and a professor's house. But at 15 Park Place, nestled between a row of neat buildings and the $60 million grandeur of Baker University Center, is the former Sigma Chi house.

Your Turn: Trash ruins OU's beautiful campus

Oct. 14, 2008

This is not a fun letter to write. I am a former student and the son of an OU graduate and former member of the Board of Trustees. I had six siblings of 11 brothers and sisters attend OU. Five nieces and nephews and all three of my children are Bobcats. This past weekend my wife and I visited Athens and I was embarrassed at the amount of trash in the street, lawns and sidewalks. Was there a festival, home game or migration from another MAC school that would explain such filth? Nope. Was there a riot, sanitation strike or nuclear attack? Sorry.
