I became a vegan in 2003.\u00a0 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.\u00a0\u00a0 My husband Primo has been a vegan since he was 25 years old.<\/p>\n
We eat organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains\u00a0 when ever we can buy them or grow them ourselves.\u00a0 I also stopped eating wheat, barley and rye.\u00a0 We have an apple tree, lemon tree, pineapple guava tree, blueberry bush, strawberries, tomatoes, parsley, and carrots growing in our backyard.<\/p>\n
It was a slow process for me to become a vegan.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 I continued eating chicken, turkey and fish occasionally.\u00a0 When my son Brian became a vegan while he was in college at Humboldt State University I decided to stop eating all animals.\u00a0 He gave me a brochure on the benefits of being a vegan.\u00a0\u00a0 I always felt guilty about killing animals for my food.\u00a0\u00a0 Meat = Murder<\/p>\n
I suggest reading:
\n“World Peace Diet” by Will Tuttle, Ph.D
\n“The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II. MD
\n“Diet for a new America” by John Robbins
\nThese books should be read by anyone interested in a healthy living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
