[Diabetes-talk] intuitive eating and textures Re:Excellent Article

I agree. The texture of too much oatmeal is distasteful, and the sweetened 
stuff is ten times worse. Quinoa is a high protein grain and has a similar 
texture to rice. Quinoa is versatile; it can be sweetened, used in salads, 
or seasoned with garlic and herbs.
