Jerky Winner!

Random.org picked comment #31 this morning....which means that Leslie @ Better Together won some Primal Spirit Jerky!!! Jerky made of soy and mushrooms and seitan. I wonder what her husband will think of this?

I've got a few tasty recipes up my sleeve, lovelies. I just need to find the time! I'm trying to get my house immaculate for my mom. Don't get me wrong; my house is mostly spotless all the time. Alphabetized, color coded, you name it. My mom has just never been to a house that Cody & I lived in together because our only house prior to this was in Japan! Wish me luck on the cleaning!

If only I looked this good while doing said cleaning........wish me luck on that, too?

You are the cutest EVER. I'm so sorry I've been so MIA lately...life is seriously taking a toll on me right now. Like sometimes, I want to pack up, move to Montana, open an eco-friendly farm and sit on the porch with a banjo singing showtunes sort of way. If that even makes sense. Or maybe I want to create origami villages, spray paint wicker furniture or become a professional napper.
These are the things I've been thinking about in between crazy days at work and trips to China.
Speaking of which...want to guest post anytime in the near future? I'll be gone for 10 days starting next Monday.
So, how's life? I miss you like crazy!
I hope you have fun with your Mommy! I'm sure your house is going to be sparkling clean.
Good luck sweetie pie!
Big hugs,

Erin

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.
