People ask me all the time: “how do you just eat raw, vegan foods? It seems way too hard!” You know what I think is hard? NOT just eating raw, vegan foods! Today alone, I 1) listened to NPR’s story on palm oil, and how that’s causing environmental destruction, 2) signed a petition against the use of BPAs…
I’m really enjoying preparing food lately, which makes it all so much easier! I seem to go into slumps where it all just seems like a chore, and then back up to where it’s fun again. I guess like everything else, food prep has its cycles, or rather, my feelings about it does. Since I’ll…
This week I’m keeping it really simple.

Reviewing Envirosax® got me thinking about the nature of Nature and groceries; lots of animals keep stores of food, but generally they achieve this a nut at a time, and they don’t tend to rely on the grocery store (funny, right? “Store”…). Thanks to our forebrains, we human primates compartmentalize, delegate and modify the gathering and storing of our food, resulting in the majority depending on the few for sustenance. True across the board these days, btw—I don’t sew my own clothing, engineer my own electronics, or weave my own baskets either.
