Love this. Absolutely fantastic post! I too made the change in 2010 to eat cleaner and more consciously. This is my first week 100% committed to it and I also tried the grass for the first time-- so wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

Great, great post!!! I have been thinking about all of these issues so much recently! I want to become more informed and educated about what I am putting into my body, but I am overwhelmed with all of the info. out there. Thanks for this insight.

I couldn't agree with you more. If you have money for new shoes, you have money to eat with a conscience!

I watched Food, Inc. a few weeks ago and it reaffirmed my intent to eat better. Between that movie and the book Skinny Bitch, I'm making more organic and healthy choices. I'm trying to cut out meat, but it's hard. I'm getting there slowly but surely! Way to go and keep it up!

It is very exciting for me (a vegan) to see other people become conscious of their food. Please keep doing research - I promise once you do you won't have any "slip-ups" and eat meat or any other animal products. One great book is "Slaughterhouse" by Gail Eisnitz and another is "Skinny Bitches".

So many people turn their brains off when they get too far into the meat and animal products industry. It is so far reaching and powerful that it seems like nothing can stop the cruelty and absolute disgusting-ness of what goes into our foods.

Do you know that even in free-range meats, USDA officials only pull out cuts of meat when there is a tumor bigger than 2 inches, or an absess larger than 1 inch? Anything smaller than that and it can go through. Ground meat is anyone's game (even free range) - feces, bits of metal and plastic, insects, parts of mice/rats that fall into the grinder, human waste, etc. What they do pull out is put into dog food, hot dogs, etc.

It's terrifying.

It's SO GREAT that you're trying vegetarianism! Keep it up. There is NOTHING better for your body than a diet of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and all natural stuff that God has given us. Americans ARE strangly obsessed with having meat constantly and our bodies are just not made for it.

A great website for recipes is vegweb.com. They have a recipe for an AWESOME chocolate cake on there. You don't have to give up your comfort foods, you just have to tweak them.

Check out my blog - I've been MIA for the past 4 weeks because of work, but things have slowed down now and I will be posting recipes and reviews of vegan beauty products as I try them. I have been a vegan since before Christmas and have lost 20 lbs, have a glowing complexion, and a clear conscience!

I am very health conscious so this post appeals to me! I have yet to see Food Inc I keep meaning to bump it to the top of netflix queue but I do hear that it is pretty eye opening.

Great Post. I'm fortunate to have a year round Green Farmer's Market near my home. I have developed relationships with my farmers and know where my chicken, eggs, veggies, fruit and more come from. I feel better and like knowing more about what I put into my body.

Love this post! I always tell my friends the secret to great skin starts with the food you eat. Eating organic and healthier foods is one of the best thing I have ever done. Keep it up!!

I LOVED this post! Where do you buy the juice plus vitamins? I need those! I think organic food is 100% worth it.

I take juice plus too! And although I don't think I'm ready for vegetarianism, that's great that you're keeping it up.
