GOING VEGAN: A Daily Diary of My Food EvolutionWHAT DO VEGANS EAT?!? I get asked all the time, and as a new vegan I’m learning to prepare fresh, delicious food that’s beneficial for ME, for ANIMALS, and for OUR PLANET. Sustaining a nourishing plant-based diet will require being creative, conscious and conscientious in my food choices. Here I’ll share a “learn as I go” adventure on the path to healthy, happy, VIBRANT VEGANISM! Follow as my food evolution unfolds and maybe you’ll even be inspired to join me...
One of the most inspiring stories about VEGAN life is that of John Robbins. The only son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, John Robbins was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps, but chose to walk away from Baskin-Robbins and the immense wealth it represented to "...pursue the deeper American Dream...the dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms. A dream of a society that is truly healthy, practicing a wise and compassionate stewardship of a balanced ecosystem."Please see the work and teachings of this 'New American Leader' at: http://www.johnrobbins.info Addition information about the VEGAN lifestyle can be found at these links: http://vegan.com http://www.veganoutreach.org http://www.vrg.org and Kauai's own Mark Reinfeld at: http://veganfusion.com
"My refusing to eat meat occasioned inconveniency, and I have been frequently chided for my singularity. But my light repast allows for greater progress, for greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension."
— Benjamin Franklin
American statesman, inventor, (1706-1790)
• Is Diet important?• Should I think and feel more around what I am eating? and when I am eating it? • Do our food choices show up in our life in any ways that may be harmful to our well being? • Does what I eat relate to how I am feeling? The answer is "YES" This point should be VERY CLEAR, "you are what you eat", so eat things with LIGHT and ENERGY that are ORGANIC, like fruit and vegetables... Our whole being takes in ENERGY from the SUN through the foods we eat. No place better to eat other than our sun veggie garden! It is important to understand how a VEGETARIAN LIFE can give us PERSONAL LIFE ENERGY, but GLOBAL LIFE ENERGY as well. Each time we eat is a chance to change the world!
