Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Shannon: Embracing My Crunchiness

Crunchy, granola, tree hugger... Ok, I like that label! I feel lighter and more energetic with my new lifestyle so people can call me anything they want - all that matters is that I feel awesome!

By embracing this lifestyle I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders as I no longer have the burden of wondering what kind of suffering happened prior to the food making it to my plate. Certainly there are challenges with eating a plant based diet, but many of those can be overcome by buying locally. I'm still learning how to be an ethical consumer....

I went to the grocery store today to stock up on what I need for the coming week. I was hungry when I shopped and bought too much food. Thank goodness for the freezer!





I have BIG plans for a naughty burger and fries dinner... all vegan!



Damn it feels good to be a vegan :)
