A quirky newlyweds exploration of veganism/vegetarianism, building a relationship with Christ, living in a new country and a desperate attempt to discover happiness and satisfaction within. All while trying to put a clever and entertaining twist on her crazy perspective of this world. After all, at the end of the day, all that really matters is laughter and love.

MEATLESS MONDAY

Monday March 14, 2011 
(Ok, so its actually Tuesday- close enough!)

"It might sound naive to suggest that whether you order a chicken patty or a veggie burger is a profoundly important decision... Deciding what to eat (and what to toss overboard) is the founding act of production and consumption that shapes all others.  Choosing leaf or flesh, factory farm or family farm, does not in itself change the world, but teaching ourselves, our children, our local communitities, and our nation to choose conscience over ease can.  One of the greatest opportunitities to live our values --- or betray them --- lies in the food we put on our plates.  And we will live or betray our values not only as individuals, but as nations." - EA

I have never read anything more profound related to veganism/vegetarianism. Since living in Costa I have realized just how addicted we (Americans) are to CONVENIENCE! Its unbelievable. I can only hope that by being a vegetarian, not only for health, but also for humane reasons, I will one day teach my children that its ok to inconvenience ourselves to do the right thing. No one ever said not eating flesh was easy, just right.
