Recognizing My Dinner

Tiff and I have been making a more concerted effort to eat well lately. For us this has been an unusual step as our diets are for the most part vegetarian, ergo not a lot of room for improvement, right? Well, as it turns out, no meat does not inherently mean healthier. Obviously a Snickers bar is not meat, but not exactly healthy either. What we have been doing is moving more towards whole foods and less animal products. Yes, by definition it is closer to vegan but that term is a bit to far for us as of yet. What has been great is finding options that are tasty and exciting. After all, don't for the sake of don't has never been an appealing answer. What we have found has been tremendous and incredibly satisfying. It also coincides with the desire to not endorse and contribute to unethical industries like Monsanto and ConAgra. I will refrain from the soap box on those guys tonight. It just seems to make so much more sense to know what you are eating. It tends to lead to feeling better too.
