Morrissey in Ecuador
Busy days
hectic days
a doctor's appointment today
will determine if the knife will get to my belly
or not... pondering, will it be a deep cut?
smiler with knife?
I wish, if I could
transport myself to Ecuador
to see beloved Morrissey
on that November 7th
to his sentences of humanity, of love, and un-love
and to dream to the sound of his voice (his voice)
of planet with NO pain
where animals are NOT on plates
and there is no sickness, and just joy.

Diet and Climate Change or Meat Is Heat
Dr. Michael Greger from NutritionFacts.org:
"While epidemics of chronic disease are currently by far our leading causes of death, global warming is considered a looming public health threat. How can we eat to combat dietary diseases and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time?"
Please take a look at this important video:
Now get a veggie burger instead of a cow burger,
do it for your health, for the animals, and for the planet!

Is Veganism Extreme?
Is Veganism Extreme?
I'll tell you, and maybe if you read my blog years ago
I used to be SICK all the time
I had migraines, asthma, IBS, diverticulitis
allergies, horrible allergies! all the time
and I thought it was my poor cats
and I was always tired, always late, always unmotivated
I have been a vegan, not even a super healthy one
just a vegan, for a while now and
The migraines are GONE
The allergies are GONE
The IBS and diverticulitis attacks are GONE
I have more energy than when I was working-out but eating dead animals
and drinking yogurt
I feel so much more clear-minded, focus, and just happy & relaxed
And to confess, I thought being a vegan was hard, but it hasn't been at all!
There is so much food to eat that has NO animal products, really, there is!
You get all the protein you need from beans, tofu, nuts, grains, and veggies
Give it a try, you won't regret it!
You will feel young vibrant again, and you won't be torturing animals
nor contributing to the destruction of this planet!

vegan quick meal
a vegan breakfast!
I keep frozen Ezekiel 4:9 bread &
Tofurky Deli slices at work,
and a bag of baby spinach or kale,
for these 'emergency' breakfasts at work,
being vegan is so easy, cheap, & compassionate
way of eating & living!
oh I forgot the Vegenaise too!
the cup of coffee with soy milk
and an organic apple.
No Animals Were Hurt on the Making of this Meal!
Please try some vegan sandwiches yourself
they are delicious, and the animals,
the planet, and your health,
will thank you for it!

Quick vegan lunch at work:
Quinoa with red bell peppers, onions & garlic
(I cooked it last night, 15 minutes),
salad with baby kale, chards & spinach with grape tomatoes
(all organic and from a Trader Joe's bag),
tofu (microwaved with garlic, rosemary & black pepper).
Vegan food can be easily done,
is super tasty, healthy, and so cheap!
My favorite part: NO animals were hurt,
I didn't have to use the kind of food that
has to be raised for months,
living in a tiny cage suffering, then slaughtered,
and transported in so many trucks back & forth,
the grains & veggies were cultivated, cooked and eaten,
they didn't have to circulate through a cow's or pork
body to transform into calories,
the rest of the ingredients too,
this is good for the animals! For they don't suffer
and they don't have to die!
it is good for the environment!
imagine all the water saved by using crops directly to eat
instead of feeding the grains to the animals!
and for my health! My cholesterol has dropped
dramatically and even if I eat a lot of vegan bakery items
and dark chocolate every night, I am loosing weight!
What are you waiting?
Go Vegan!

vegan food
these are some of my simple every day vegan dishes
 |
| avocado sandwich with green onions, cilantro, tomatoes on sprouted bread |
 |
| fresh fruit and raw veggies are a great snack, easy to find organics in California |
 |
| vegan lemonade, with maple syrup, organic lime juice and the secret ingredient: ground fresh ginger for a spicy touch! |
 |
| the juicing basket! except for the avocado, I eat avocados often, California is the land of the avocados! |
 |
| kale, white mushrooms, walnuts and blueberries salad with homemade vinaigrette, it was fantastic! |
 |

Juicing
last Sunday I felt awful
I almost fainted at the laundromat
sweaty, clammy feeling
have I been eating too many carbs? YES
have I been not exercising? YES
so after the scare and some blood tests
I am back to something my beloved mother taught me
many years ago: Juicing!
so instead of my morning coffee with toast
I am blending and / or juicing:
Kale
Pineapple or carrots or apples (or all)
Celery
Lime
Cucumbers
Parsley
the concoction is delicious!
is refreshing and feels like a blessing to my belly
and system in the mornings
I still drink coffee, once I get to the office
and I have a 'normal' lunch
when I come home, I have another juicy wonderful
refreshing magical green concoction
and then dinner, usually I am less full after all those
veggies and marvelous micro-nutrients
Only 5 days, and my skin looks clearer
my hair shinier and I have more energy
the power of the green veggies!!
Give it a try!
I started blending the ingredients
and now I got a juicer too, a Breville
since the juice has no fiber, I am doing
a mix of juicing and blending
I choose to juice green veggies and to blend fruits
OK, did I say I still have my coffee at the office?
just not first thing on the tummy on the AM

habit of it, checkout these links:
