As if having a baby, moving, and starting a new school wasn't enough change for one lifetime, we've also decided to drastically change our eating habits and become pseudo vegan. Why pseudo you ask? Well, first let's start with why we've decided to make such a drastic change...
1. Health benefits-meat consumption, especially in large amounts, has been proven to be linked to many diseases including cancer and heart disease.
2. Pregnant lady (with already existing meat aversions) watches random PETA videos then a documentary called 'Earthlings' and can hardly breathe through the sobbing.
I guess that sums it up. What more reason do you need? Any who, back to why it is pseudo. We received an awesome suggestion to raise quail once we move into our new place. They would provide us with eggs and meat if ever we chose to have it. This way we know exactly what is going in to our meat as well as their quality of life and even how they would be killed. We also thought that once our child/children were old enough it would be a great learning experience and give them the opportunity to understand how meat is made and if they wanted to continue to consume it.
Tonight's dinner we had sweet potato and kale soup with a baby greens, pear, and quinoa with a homemade champagne vinaigrette. Super delicious. We are so excited to test our cooking skills in thus foreign territory.
