Being a Vegan

I became a vegan in 2003.  I’ve been a vegetarian since 1998 because I want to save the lives of animals and because I think it is the best diet for our planet and for myself.   My husband Primo has been a vegan since he was 25 years old.

We eat organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains  when ever we can buy them or grow them ourselves.  I also stopped eating wheat, barley and rye.  We have an apple tree, lemon tree, pineapple guava tree, blueberry bush, strawberries, tomatoes, parsley, and carrots growing in our backyard.

It was a slow process for me to become a vegan.  When I was pregnant with my daughter Jennifer in 1978 just looking at meat made me feel ill so I stopped eating red meat (beef, pork, lamb).  I continued eating chicken, turkey and fish occasionally.  When my son Brian became a vegan while he was in college at Humboldt State University I decided to stop eating all animals.  He gave me a brochure on the benefits of being a vegan.   I always felt guilty about killing animals for my food.   Meat = Murder

I suggest reading:
“World Peace Diet” by Will Tuttle, Ph.D
“The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II. MD
“Diet for a new America” by John Robbins
These books should be read by anyone interested in a healthy living.

Wedding in Murphys

I went to a wedding in Murphys with my son Brian.  My daughter Jen’s best friend since 3rd grade got married last weekend.  It was 104 degrees during the day and in the 80s at night.  It was a really fun wedding!
