In the latest issue of Pathways magazine (if you don't read it, find one or borrow mine...its GREAT!) Dr. Monika Buerger wrote an article about eating green/organic/sustainably etc. Great article! There were actually several great articles in this issue about organic eating etc. Dr. Buerger challenged readers to eat completely raw and organic just one day a week. I know that eating vegetarian or vegan one day a week is really good for the environment and sustainability but I like the challenge of eating raw and organic as well. In April, I decided to return to my pseudo-vegetarianism (I still eat some fish and occasionally eggs), I had started eating chicken again occasionally during pregnancy but was happy to give that up once Scott was born. I like the idea of vegan eating but quite frankly right now checking ingredients on everything I buy to make sure there are zero animal products in them, well its a bit daunting for me. So for now pseudo-veg it is! I think I will challenge myself to one day a week of completely raw organic eating! I feel that by writing this down I have officially accepted this challenge and that will some how hold me accountable (I'm not really sure how but let's go with it). Wish me luck and stay tuned!
Good luck Charlotte! We Roys have moved to grass fed only meats, but I have only had eggs since pregnant. Most meats are giving me the willies - same thing happened while pregnant with Charlie. We do organic as often as we can though. You go girl!
