I received "The Kind Diet" as a gift..

And WOW, can I just say that I was shocked at the environmental impact raising meet has! :

I just started reading, but was shocked at that. It really makes a lot of sense to me.

I sort of made this face when my doctor suggested that I head towards being a vegan, because he believes eating hormone filled foods caused my temporary blindeness. But reading about the cruelity and the environmental impact is an eye opener!

I was just looking at this book the other day!

I checked it out from the library and thought it was a great book! If I ever find it used/on sale, I'll add it to my collection.

ok I am enabled very easily LOL I just ordered it from amazon with some Christmas $$ I can't wait to get it!!

[Purple*Lotus]

I checked five libraries in a three city range, two of them at major universities, and none of them had this book!

So my Mom bought it for me for Christmas

She also wants to try this with me. We wrote out a long grocery list tonight with yummy things like salad fixings for lunch, chickpeas, PB, fresh fruit, etc.

I am glad that I am going to have her support in this

I can hardly wait to read it also.

Bunnyflakes, hang out here we will all support you and your mom also.



I'm the only veg at my house .........so I have to stay motivated.

The world would be a cleaner place and we would be much healthier if meat production stopped right now. I know I feel so much better since quitting the meat.

I'm glad to hear you all like it! It's on my wish-list (my library doesn't carry it ). I may have to give in and buy it. But I just wanted to add that I really like the blog/website Alicia put together with this too. Lots of good blog posts, recipes, a forum... http://www.thekindlife.com/
