Vegan Brothy Chickpeas Pasta with Tomato and Spinach!

Why are health experts switching to plant based Pasta instead of the traditional Pasta? Its our search of more vegan and plant based products, but more importantly it has to do with healthy options we can feed to our body instead of high carb options.
There are quite a few new options of Pasta in the market these days like Chickpea Pasta, green lentil pasta, red lentil pasta, casava flour pasta, edamame pasta and so on. Among them chickpea pasta seems to be a bit more available than the others.

الجهل والعداء
Knowledge is a human’s weapon against fear of the unknown, and a person by his nature is the enemy of everything he is ignorant of in life even if it is of great benefit to him. It is courageous to first try to understand what we do not know before judging it negatively or positively. Fear and hostility to everything new may come because we do not have awareness of the consequences of participating in its discovery, and therefore we prefer to stay away from it for fear of bad consequences for us, and we prefer to deal with what we know and understand to ensure the result in advance.
المعرفة سلاح الإنسان ضد الخوف من المجهول، والإنسان بطبعه عدو لكل ما يجهل فى الحياة حتى لو كان فيه النفع العظيم له ، من الشجاعة أن نحاول أولاً فهم ما نجهله قبل الحكم عليه بشكل سلبى أو إيجابى . قد يأتى الخوف والعداء لكل ما هو جديد لأننا لا نملك الإدراك بالنتائج المترتبة للمشاركة فى إكتشافه ولذلك نُفضل الابتعاد عنه خشية وقوع نتائج سيئة لنا، ونُفضل التعامل مع ما نعرفه ونفهمه لضمان النتيجة مُسبقاً . سوء الفهم والجهل قد يصنع الشجار والبغضاء فى كثير من المُناقشات والحوارات اليومية العادية ،فالعديد من الناس يشعرون بالحرج والخوف من السؤال عن معنى كلمة أو مُصطلح غير معروف بالنسبة لهم خشية أن يتم وصفهم بالجهل ، ربما يدفعهم هذا الخوف من إلقاء السؤال للعداء الشديد تجاه الكلمات والمُصطلحات الجديدة ومن يُرددها من الناس دون وعى بحقيقة الكلمة والمُصطلح ودون إلمام كافى بالموضوع المطروح للمُناقشة .
لا يجب أن يشعر الإنسان بالحرج من السؤال عن…

REIGN OF THE DARK — tinythoughtspoetry
Eclectic
The universe takes me on an odyssey in eternity's orbit of a lifetime's prediction. I turn my winter into spring, winging into a rainbow dream, touch push the dark into a golden beam. To hold this moment Forever In a poem... The cosmos wraps me like a bouquet in a turquoise fever where I inhale the ink of a quill spinning across my senses. I search the lines of the aether, touching, embracing an exotic galaxy of torched stars. I illuminate my page feeling the sensations of starlight, a paradise binding my inquisitive soul. I find my home in the silken ink around my fingers spelling my survival. .. In this strategy called life. . I think of metaphors...
The Hippocratic Oath Stops at the Arkansas Border
Invoking “the right of conscience” and “the Hippocratic Oath” this new law permits doctors, pharmacists, hospitals and health insurance companies to refuse to provide or pay for non-emergency care if they feel their “religious, moral, or ethical principles” would be violated.
However, no definition is provided in the law as to what these “principles” can or cannot be.
Since throughout US history some Americans have asserted that their “religious, moral, or ethical principles” justify slavery, subjugation of women, white supremacy, or lynching, the lack of any definitions in the law make it absurdly vague.
Henceforth, in Arkansas, refusing to care for a patient because of one’s “principles” will not be punishable, by loss of hospital “staff privileges,” “refusal of board certification,” “refusal to award any grant,” or “refusal to provide residency training.”
I am a physician who has practiced cancer medicine for over 40 years and a medical school professor who teaches medical ethics and medical history. This law is a rare combination of ignorance of medical history, flagrant disregard of medical ethics, bigotry, and buffoonery.
