My Vegan Mondays

Livestock production is responsible for a huge chunk of global green house gas emissions. The more meat we eat, the more we produce, and the carbon footprint gets bigger. As Meat Free Monday reports, a sustainable future demands that we cut this consumption and yet between 1961 and 2007, while the world population increased by a factor of 2.2, meat consumption quadrupled and poultry consumption increased 10-fold.

"To build a better world in the future we all need to make changes in our lifestyles now."

Morning
Coffee & soy milk
A supergreen smoothie: kale, celery, banana, apple and lemon juice and ice. Sound gnarly? En fet, c'est super!
Oatmeal

Afternoon
A mélange from Whole Foods' salad bar: quinoa with beets; spinach, fennel and orange; wild rice with cranberries and pecans; grilled eggplant, roasted sweet potatoes... oh, how I love Whole Foods

Evening
Whole wheat pasta with kale and pesto
Tea and honey (actually, can honey be considered vegan?!)
