Welcome to our blog. This is the first time we have ever blogged. We are excited our the changes we are making and if the journey we are on is one that inspires someone else to make changes in their life...well, that would be a wonderful thing!!
I would like to introduce ourselves... Our friends affectionately call us The. Peppers’. We are your traditional Mr. & Mrs. Omnivore…or rather we were. What happened you ask? We watched a documentary (Food Inc) and became more aware of our food. Not only were we more aware of our food but as animal lovers we were appalled at the conditions and treatment of the animals that became our food and the industrialization of the food industry. After that first documentary a surprising thing happened…we became uncomfortable making the same choices were always made; we began to challenge what we knew about our food and the food industry as a whole. Where we used to talk about what to eat, we began to talk why we ate it. We started to question what we believed was true about food & the choices we made. And so the research began and we started to educate ourselves; we watched more documentaries; we read books; we asked questions at the butcher, the market, the bakery; we started to learn. And we started to change. This blog is about the changes we are making and our journey to a plant based diet. We invite to follow along and share our journey. We will post stories, trials, triumphs, recipes and pictures as we document this new chapter of awareness in our lives.
Until next time...eat green!
The Peppers
