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.

Meatless Mondays

Consuming meat can contribute to animal suffering, pollution, world hunger, disease, and global warming.  Take a moment to let that settle in...
If you can stomach it (ha), check out these sites that explore my bold statement.

Eating vegetarian - even one day per week - can help reduce the negative effects of meat consumption.  Enter: Meatless Mondays!

Paul McCartney says, “If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That’s the single most important thing you could do.”  How can you ignore Sir Paul of the Beatles?? ;-)

Day 17 Food Journal:
-oatmeal; mushrooms & spinach
-whole wheat tortilla, sauteed veggies, guacamole, salsa, black beans
-popcorn
-kelp noodles, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli; red wine
-Angela's butternut squash & pineapple treat

HIGH-FIVE to Katherine and Beth for being vegan for 40 days, Cassie and Kelly for going meatless for 40 days, and Bob & Kathy for doing Meatless Mondays indefinitely (starting today)!!

    Yay, all of us! Smart Ground tacos with black beans and all the veggies were very tasty! Dad even remembered to buy a tuna sandwich for his lunch! That's still meatless, right?

    No. Fish is meat. Nice try though.
