Passion For Your Health, Our Planet and All living things

 We all have choices. Everything we don’t do has implications for us.... You decide. When you make a decision to do nothing, that is still a decision.

As we move through this life, we can decide if we want to be healthy or sick, co-exist on a sustainable planet or continue to destroy it, and we can also decide if we want to eat animal products and be responsible for their lives and pain and suffering or NOT.

It was an ethical choice for me to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings, just like our pet cats and pet dogs. And I just couldn’t disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like “Diet for a New America” and "The China Study " and saw documentaries like “ Earthlings ”and “Meet your Meat” and it became an easy choice for me.

My health was another reason to go vegan. There are poisonous herbicides, pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and bacterial contamination and diseases found in ALL  factory farmed meat, fish and dairy products. I decided I didn't want that in my body, nor should you want it in your body or your loved ones'.

Another reason I chose to go vegan is for the well being of the planet and its inhabitants. The regeneration of natural farmland and forests that comes with organic and plant based farming is critical to our survival and all living things. A whole food plant-based diet is REAL food. Real vegetables, Real Fruit, Real nuts and seeds and grains;. Creative, yummy and totally effective. If you choose to educate yourself, it will be an easy choice for you too. The health implications are astounding with a whole food, plant-based diet.

Destiny, or karma, depends upon what the soul has done about what it has become aware of.
