Eh, what's up, doc?

I don't have many followers. Do not feel sorry for me; I'm fine with it. For the moment. :) My main goal is to be able to use this blogspot as a reference when I get questions like, "What do you eat?" and "I could never NOT eat meat..." or the classic "Tofu is disgusting!". They can see firsthand that healthy, homemade, nothing-over-the-top type meals can be made...and can be made vegan.

I do have some followers, though, and the ones I have are amazing. One of my favorites being Living and Loving In L.A.. She has put up some great recipes (and DIY creative projects) that make me love her even more! She introduced me to Chia Seeds when I won a giveaway she posted. Well, it's time for another, and I'm shameless!

Living and Loving in L.A. is having another giveaway! She was able to convince 18 Rabbits to give two lucky readers a chance to win all 18 flavors of their tasty bars. Just go HERE to read more about it! You should be following her anyways, so there ya have it.

Umm, if I won the bars would probable go bad before I go back to Canada to eat them. I'll keep the name in mind, tho, for when I go back!

Vegan Facts

-Protein is good for you. Duh. Animal products (meat, eggs, etc.) have complete proteins, but so does a soybean. Which one do you think is better for you?

-It's actually better to get your calcium from plant sources such as figs, rice, nuts, dark greens, and soy foods. Osteoporosis occurs more when the calcium intake is via dairy products.

-Speaking of dairy products, a lot of people think milk is super important because of the need for Vitamin D. Did you know that milk is fortified with Vitamin D, meaning it doesn't naturally come with it?

-Studies show that a plant-based diet can increase your life expectancy by 7 to 15 years.

-Livestock feed is sprayed with pesticides and toxic chemicals. It's also packed with over 60 million pounds of antibiotics. AND, sometimes, the bovine growth hormone, which studies have shown cause early sexual maturation in children. (The average age girls are hitting puberty today is 8 years old.)

-A vegetarian diet can prevent 97% of coronary obstructions. That's impressive!

-Equally as impressive: Cornell University has been conducting a long-term study of health and diet. They found that 80 to 90% of all cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other forms of degenerative illness can be prevented by adopting a plant-based diet.

-Dr. Huckstable said "there's always room for 'this'"...which is made by boiling bones, skin, and other parts of cows. Uh, gross.

-Avocado is rich in potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, and high in fat.....however, the amazing avocado contains enzymes that help break down fat in the body.
