It's New Year's Eve and we've been counting down the last few weeks of the year mentally preparing ourselves for our next adventure... We are going stop eating meat and dairy.
There are 5 of us, each at different stages of life and health. After watching a few documentaries about food production and the health impacts of the modern American Family diet, we decided to do an experiment as a family. What would happen if we all transitioned to a plant-based, whole foods diet? That means no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs, no refined sugar, no white flour, no high fructose corn syrup. We will eat organic and local, as much as possible, but we have to balance all these healthy interests with the fact that we are crazy busy and need to resort to practicality in order to preserve our sanity.
This is our adventure. Our pledge is to give it our best effort and to be honest about the ups and downs along the way.
