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.

Today was a fairytale

Spreading SAD (Standard American Diet) diseases around the globe: regional McDonalds menu options.

<--My haul from the Bookmobile. Such a nerd. Jeez.  And, speaking of nerd, check out my new accessory, which I received from an acquired Googler.

Day 54 Food Journal:
-kiwi, little blueberry smoothie
-oatmeal
-salad, 1/2 sandwich (wheat bread, hummus, dijon, avocado, sprouts, grilled zucchini and eggplant, lettuce, tomato)
-samples of a million different vegan foods.***
-1/2 sandwich, dark chocolate almonds

***Today was the Halloween "Trick or Treat" of health food at Google.  You are going to hate me when I say this, but in Google offices, it is a company guideline that every Googler be within 150 feet of food.  That means each floor has a "micro kitchen" filled with snacks and drinks.  Apparently the micro kitchen team (yes, there is a team) decided to hold a vendor fair where current and potential food manufacturers have a booth and let Googlers sample their products.  Then Googlers rate the foods and choose which foods they want in the micro kitchens.  Democracy = Googlers & vendors win!  Best part?  Most of the foods were vegan and produced locally!!  They gave us lots of free samples...not gonna lie...I made quite the haul...
A lot of these can be purchased at Whole Foods.  My favorite brands are: Tcho Chocolates (San Francisco, CA), Mary's Gone Crackers (Gridley, CA), SunRidge Farms (Santa Cruz, CA), Food Should Taste Good (MA), Olympic Granola (MN), 18 Rabbits (San Francisco, CA), Earnest Eats (Solana Beach, CA), Somersault Snack Co (Sausalito, CA), Odwalla (Half Moon Bay, CA), Annie's Homegrown (Napa, CA), Wai Lana (Carmichael, CA), Ghirardelli (San Leandro, CA)
