A New Way of Thinking

I know I haven't posted in a couple of years (shame on me!) but felt I should get back on it and let you know what's been happening.

Cathy and I have chosen to move toward a plant-based diet (actually I should say 'plant-based lifestyle,') meaning minimizing that amount of animal products we use, whenever possible. It is an ongoing process and we're not giving ourselves brain-damage trying to do it all at once, but I definitely notice some changes, not only in the way we feel, but also in the way we shop. I now pass right by the meat department without even looking, and have even been able to, for the most part, avoid buying hot dogs (a weakness of mine, not just because I like them, but they are easy and convenient.) Which brings us to the other side of it: fast food. We're finding that weening ourselves from fast food is the toughest part of this. You're not always able to prepare something at home, and, unfortunately, our budget hasn't allowed us to be able to order anything that is out there. We're still trying to work that out, but stay tuned - I'm sure a bunch of people have the same problem, and I will do my best to examine this problem, as well as go deeper into the story of how we came to this lifestyle-changing decision.
