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.

No soy joy

In an effort to improve my skin, I am going to forgo soy products, in addition to sugar.  I don't eat them much, so it won't be a huge loss for me. We'll see if it works!  Since soy contains phytoestrogens, a high level of that in your body can cause a hormonal imbalance and force the androgens and testosterone to go into overdrive to keep up and balance the estrogens.  Or so I've heard....

Day 33 Food Journal:
-kiwi*, oatmeal
-vegan chili, sauteed kale & cippolini onions, salad
-apple, popcorn
-kashi cereal, almonds, smoothie

*Katherine, Angela and I picked kiwis in December just north of Santa Cruz along the coast.  Of the ~7 pounds we picked, I still have at least 15 kiwis remaining in the fridge.  They take a long time to ripen and then stay fresh and ready to eat.
