10 Reasons To End 2020 Imperfect-ly
By: Sarah Harris

All I can say about my first pandemic is, “One star. Do not recommend.”

We are stressed and grieving the life we once knew. Going to the store requires a face mask, which many describe as equivalent to Guantanamo-Bay water torture.

Guess what else is at the store? Humans. The worst…

When I heard about Imperfect, I was naturally skeptical. Would it be a good value? Would they deliver promptly? Would I really be saving the world?

Here are 10 reasons to try Imperfect:

1) Customizable

You will see different packages like produce, grains, or snack packs that include pantry staples. If (like me) you know what you want, you can completely customize your cart only with items you need by browsing the shop.

2) Organic For Less

I was surprised to see many organic items listed for the same or similar prices as conventional.

3) Imperfect For Less

Filtering by Imperfect Items will show all items that are heavily discounted. The imperfection is clearly listed as well as a description and origin of the item.

4) Reduce Food Waste

Imperfect stocks their website with surplus items or those with mild defects. Shopping Imperfect keeps good food out of landfills. You can see your environmental impact under My Account.

5) Cost Effective

Imperfect really helped me stay on track with my spending. Several of my favorite meat and dairy alternatives are heavily discounted. I love how you can see all prices in your cart to stay on budget.

6) Giving Back To The Community

Imperfect accepts SNAP benefits. This gives the opportunity to help our community and deliver healthy foods to those in need.

7) Limited Packaging, Delivered To You

Often, this food waste comes from the grocery store in the form of plastic bags. You can see exactly how the item is packaged in the listing. Most of my produce was free-floating when I opened my box with no extra plastic. If ordering refrigerated items, they will come in a silver cold bag that can be reused.

8) Great Customer Service

I got a text message asking how I enjoyed my first order.

9) Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly

With a household of two vegans, this was make-or-break. With plenty of meat and dairy alternatives heavily discounted, I found this service a great suit for me. When signing up, you can select any dietary restrictions for your box.

10) Save $10 Today!

I was looking at all the sketchy promo code websites when I signed up and COULD NOT find one for the life of me. As you can see, I’ve done the work for you.

Click to save $10 on your first order.

After this year, it was nice to have just ONE thing off my list, one thing that did not end in disaster. Many of us have not learned any new skills in 2020. We didn’t get to travel. We didn’t real 48 books in quarantine. However, saving food waste, saving money, and saving the world, is something I can feel pretty good about.

Plant-based food cuisine historically can be found throughout the Caribbean, Africa, and Latin countries which foods were a combination of plantains, greens, rice, nuts, exotic fruits, and berries major staples still present in the current culture.

The concept of vegan soul food was very slim in the deep south until lately, throughout the southeast so many options have showcased particularly you can find and satisfy soul food urges in many spaces such as Columbia, South Carolina a place which houses A Peace of Soul Vegan Kitchen which derived from a family-owned business Lambs Bread which was established in 2005 reborn, renovated and showcased in 2018 by Folami Geter founder and curator who crowned A Peace Of Soul Vegan Kitchen.

Blog on difference between a Vegan and Vegetarian
Tags: Healthy Foods, Vegetarian, Healthy Lifestyle, Vegan, Veganism

For years there are several questions that have never seemed to find the right answers. For example “what came first the chicken or the egg?”. Similarly, just as the people around the world were coming to terms with the concepts of vegetarianism, a new term was coined. Yes, the term we are talking about is veganism.

Now, for those people who don’t follow either of the diets, the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan may get rather blurry. So, in this blog, we will take a look at all those fine lines that make a vegan different from a vegetarian.

In the simplest of terms, vegans are vegetarians but with a lot stricter rules of what not to eat. A vegetarian is a person who chooses to opt for a diet that is meat-free, however, may end up consuming products that come from animals such as milk and dairy. In the same way, vegans are people who also go the meat free way with an added rule of not consuming any product which is a by-product made from animal or their skin.

There are several categories and types of vegetarians and vegans and once we go through these types, we will be able to understand the differences between a vegan and a vegetarian as well.

Types of vegetarians

Lacto Ovo vegetarian: A diet that excludes meat and flesh but includes milk and eggs.

Ovo vegetarian: A diet that consumes either only eggs or includes all dairy-based products such as cream, cheese and milk but excludes the eggs.

Demi vegetarian: Those who include fish, eggs and other dairy products but not meat.

Semi vegetarian: those people who voluntarily control their meat intake

Types of Vegans

Ethical vegans: those people who put their ethics of love for animals before their stomachs and completely avoid all forms of meats and dairy products.

Plant-based vegans: those people who live on plant-based foods that grow from the ground only.

Raw vegans: they avoid any animal by-product and anything that is cooked above the temperature of 115-degree Fahrenheit.

The major difference between vegans and vegetarians is that vegans believe in consuming a diet that is completely cruelty-free and this includes all by-products such as dairy, honey and even cream. In the case of vegetarians, people avoid all the meats but end up consuming some by-product of animals like ghee, honey and other dairy products.

Claire was a foodie; she lived in Portland with her wife, who was a foodie too. And they were vegan and earth activists and blended in with their community and generation. Claire and Olga knew their place, they knew their world.

Their day starting with roasted coffee and superfoods and supplements, all vegan. As were their clothes and shoes. Their laptops were not, but they did not know.

That morning though, Claire’s stomach made her scream in pain. She did not drink coffee but nonetheless swallowed her pills because she knew how good they were for her.

Yet the pain was unbearable and Olga brought her to the ER. The echography showed anomalies in her stomach; everywhere. Doctors baffled, Claire screaming.

Rushed to surgery the first cut exposed a root, growing out of her intestine, and then one more. Doctors looked in disbelief! A tree was killing her.

I Just Went Vegan. What am I Going to Do With my Leather Boots?
By: Dan Stout

Photo by Rehina Sultanova

Congratulations and thank you for your new lifestyle choice. I hope you enjoy all the amazing benefits it will bring to you. Hopefully, by now you know what foods in the grocery store are available to you. It seems like the store shrunk a little, huh? Just know you are going to get tricked by some products on the shelf. That is ok, it happens to all of us.

But we are not going to talk about food here. What other kinds of household products, clothing, or footwear do you own that are not vegan? There are many layers of the vegan onion to peel, but footwear is the subject for now.

One of your favorite pairs of shoes is made out of leather. Hmm. There are going to be a lot of different things to be said about this. In my opinion, I find it wasteful to throw a product away only to have to replace it with something new. It just seems like a waste of resources.

I had a pair of leather work gloves when I went vegan. I just used them until they were worn and then replaced them with a vegan alternative. I would suggest doing the same with the boots.

I was perfectly fine doing this. Others may not have made the same choice as me. I am ok with that as well. If wearing the shoes makes you uncomfortable and sad, I would understand. There is no need to trouble your mental health. If this is the case, I would try to sell them or give them to a person in need.

Are you still vegan if you continue to wear the boots? Again, it all depends upon who you ask. In my own life, I know that I currently do everything I can to be a good vegan. I have no way of controlling the decisions I made in the past, but I can choose to make good decisions in the present and future.

Good luck on your journey!
How I’ve Improved My Cooking Skills
By: The Despicable Hippie
Tags: How To Cook, Cooking, Vegan, Veganism, Cooking Tips

Photo by Icons8 Team on Unsplash

Before I show you how I improved my cooking skills, you need to know a few things:

I am very methodical;

I vary the accompaniment of my meals, when in one meal I accompany with rice, the next is with pasta;

I’m a little nit picky in the way I get my vegetables, always sustainable buy directly from the farm;

Oh, and, I’m a vegan.

If you’re still here, and you didn’t close the page when you read the fourth topic, great, let’s start!

I discovered my passion for cooking during teen years, (it must have been a defense mechanism to excuse the fact that I never had a girlfriend, or that I was very, very shy, the type that chooses the flight option, instead of fighting, in fight or flight response). And I did well, I didn’t like to follow recipes, but to be creative, (and just once I almost caught the kitchen on fire), but go on.

During the remaining years I improved, I didn’t choose to be a Chef because I don’t like being told what I have to cook, I like to create new meals and cook only for people close to me, (picky, I know).

In June 2019 I became vegan, and although I tried to vary the meals I ate, it was just the basics, putting the cut vegetables in the pan, water, sometimes a little tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and it was a good meal. But this year, while camping with friends, I learned a lesson that, while simple, changed the way I cook forever.

When I am peeling the vegetables, I use their peel together with the water, while it boils, and when I put the vegetables in the pot, I put them, one type at a time, and gradually add the water.

One more extra tip…

I love spices, and there are, at least here in Portugal, some flasks called the Spice Kit, there are Italian, Spanish, Moroccan and Thai, which is very good in food.
Animal Cruelty is Still Present — The Faces Behind the Horror

Animal Cruelty is Still Present — The Faces Behind the Horror

“Animal cruelty is the abuse toward or the neglect of an animal” says a source online. A lot of people think that animal cruelty is easy to notice. They just imagine a broken leg cat or a skinny dog that no one feeds. In fact, there are a lot of other things that are considered like animal cruelty that you may not know about or that you cannot see.

Read this text to learn about some specific problems and what you can do to help.

LABORATORY TESTING:

As you may know, before selling skincare or makeup products in stores, the producers of these creations need to make sure they are not harmful to humans. To do that, most of these creators run horrifying test on animals like rats and rabbits. Imagine being trapped in a tiny cage and everyday someone comes to give you injections on your body including your eyes! It’s horrible! These injections may cause itchy and burning skin, the loss of body parts and sometimes immediate death. The solution is to make sure to buy cruelty free products to only help the good companies that respect animals’ rights.

IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINMENT:

Aquatic theme parks, zoos and circuses rarely care about their animals and mascots especially in circuses. When they are not performing the animals are locked in small cages where they spend about 96% of their life and can’t socialize with other individuals of their own species. They also travel between the shows in poor conditions. Finally, to make the animals learn certain tricks or perform them in front of the public, some of the master use painful devices. The solution is to stop paying to see those shows or visit these parks.

NOT ENOUGH EDUCATION:

Too many people act on impulse and buy a pet for Christmas when they don’t know how to take care of it. They sometimes forget to feed their rabbit or don’t walk their dog, etc. Others just didn’t think this through. For example, they didn’t think about how expensive it is to take care of their animal and who is going to keep it while they are on a holiday. That situation causes a lot of abandons and crowded shelters (in which if an animal is not adopted, it is put to sleep). To resolve this problem, it should be more difficult to adopt an animal and before a person does, there should be mandatory lessons on how to take care of it.

In summary, I think animal cruelty is horrible and I wish you will agree with me that we need to take actions to obligate people to respect their rights. Will you be a part of the solution?
Why I Quit Veganism

We need to create a culture of acceptance and food freedom

Image: independant.co.uk

It’s not unusual in the 21st century to find yourself in the minority as a meat eater in certain circles. As a vegetarian myself since the tender age of seven, I’ve welcomed the popularity of cutting out meat.

I was seventeen when I took the leap into veganism. For me, it was the next natural step in my journey to ultimate health and ‘Veganuary’ provided the push I needed. Elated by my new found goal, I plunged headfirst into swaths of Instagram food bloggers and vegan literature, proclaiming to my friends and family the wonders of my diet. I was satisfied that my New Year’s goals were being achieved; I was health conscious, environmentally conscious and ethically so too. Little did I know, I was in the vegan honeymoon period.

Months down the line, my existing digestive issues began to take over my life and I knew something needed to change. My weight plummeted and I made more visits to the toilet and doctors that you can imagine. I had to acknowledge that my gut was incompatible with a vegan diet, which was a hefty feet considering I had deep-rooted ethical values. But as I came across others who’d experienced the same struggles on a vegan diet I knew I was not alone.

Somehow, in my extensive research and insight into the vegan world I’d never unearthed its downsides. There’s a lesson to be learnt from the distorted perceptions portrayed in the media and heavily edited lives of those on our social media feed. Taking everything with a ‘pinch of salt’ has never rang more true for me.

We are individuals with unique needs and no single diet works for all. Once I’d accepted that there is a balance to be had between ethical decisions and your own health, I freed myself of the guilt I’d previously carried towards eating animal products. They now form a small part of my abundant plant-based diet and I’m happier and healthier than ever. I’m still a vegetarian but I respect the decisions of those who aren’t. It works for me now but it may not work for me in the future and that’s okay.

How I’d let the agony and discomfort I experienced go on for so long baffles me to this day. Perhaps I refused to accept that I was wrong about the benefits of veganism or perhaps I had a fear of being condemned by the vegan community. It’s not uncommon for well-known vegans to receive backlash when they revert to a former diet containing animal products.

Admittedly, and shamefully, I had long held silent distain for those who didn’t make the same vegetarian/vegan decisions as me. The naive ways of my former self horrify me now knowing the struggles I faced to achieve healthy digestion. Ive learnt we need to create a culture of acceptance and food freedom. We don’t know why someone makes the diet choices they do but it is not our role to provide judgement.
Can a vegan diet help you lose weight?

Can a vegan diet help you lose weight?

Hiyaa!! Welcome to my blog! I hope you are having a wonderful day, if not then its okay. Its okay to be tired of your life. Its okay to feel what you're feeling right now. Trust the process. I am sure you'll feel better after some time.

So, We all have seen skinny vegans at some point of our lives promoting veganism and we all have wondered if going vegan will actually help

our weight loss. But mind it, if you opt for veganism you have to take care about all the multi vitamins you're taking and whether you are getting all the nutrients that are required for our body or not.

I opted for a vegan diet in the beginning of 2020 and let me tell you, it was BAD. I did not consult a doctor or took any of the multi vitamin tablets needed or any other supplements these people take. I suffered. A lot.

I only did it for like 10 days and did not even did it properly. Some day I had honey or a yogurt that wasnt from a plant based milk and someday I had so much craving for meat and many more. Also I wasnt getting proper nutrients and thus my hair started falling badly by the end of those 10 days.

Apart from that I also plateaued on my weight and my skin was worse than ever. I am not saying that you shouldnt opt for a vegan diet or all vegans are insane. I am just saying that dont make a mistake like I did. Consult a specialist or your doctor. Take proper supplements needed and then continue with your diet. Take care and I hope you succeed.💓

Vegan Malva Pudding — Recipes — Plantiful Coach
By: Muriel Gravenor
Tags: South Africa, Dessert, Plant Based, Vegan, Recipe

You know that feeling you get when you tuck into a familiar childhood favourite? Mmmm that is what malva pudding gives me, every time!

This classic South African dessert is traditionally made with eggs, milk and cream — but it’s super easily veganised. I first shared a vegan malva pudding recipe in my early days with Vegilicious (the student organisation I started in 2012), and the recipe’s made its rounds on social media. Here is a slightly modified version (better than ever!) using aquafaba, and coconut cream plus soy milk in place of soy cream. It’s pretty perfect (ask my dad).

Ingredients

For the pudding

⅓ cup aquafaba

¾ cup sugar

1 tbsp apricot jam (high quality/homemade)

1 heaped tbsp vegan butter (melted)

1 tsp white vinegar

⅓ cup plant milk (I used soy milk)

1 cup cake flour

1 tsp bicarb

½ tsp salt

For the sauce

¼ cup coconut cream

¼ cup plant milk (I used soy milk)

50 g vegan butter

¼ cup sugar

2 tbsp hot water

1 tsp vanilla essence

Top Things Every New Vegan Should Know
Tags: Lifestyle, Health, Plant Based, Vegan, Veganism

I went vegan in early August 2020, just a few weeks after my son was born. I’d long admired the vegan lifestyle, the personal health benefits, the cruelty-free aspect of a fully plant-based diet, and the associated environmental positives. It seemed like a win-win-win. For me, it was a no-brainer to make the switch. Being a new dad, it was the best possible time for me to adopt a healthier lifestyle. I immediately eliminated all meat and animal byproducts from my diet and started to enjoy how I felt almost instantly.

I was instantly hooked on this new way of eating and I wanted to learn all I could about this new-found healthy lifestyle I had adopted — because, to be honest, I knew nothing. Less than nothing. I did a lot of reading on a lot of great websites dedicated to vegan living. I watched a shitload of informative and inspiring YouTube videos and subscribed to as many vegan cooking channels as I could find.

Still, as with most things in life, there were some things I would learn only from personal experience over time. In no particular order, here are some of those things.
Step by Step Guide : Veganism. Cutting out meat,fish,eggs and milk…
By: Purva Chokhra
Tags: Vegetarian, Vegetables, Vegan, Veganism, Food

Before adapting any habit, its first step is to define the end goal.In this case you have already decided to become a vegan.Therefore congratulations, you have already completed your STEP-1 of this diet transition.

Whether you are transitioning for health reason, supporting animals and Planet Earth, this step by step transition guide will help you to achieve your goal to become a Vegan.

Step 2 : Adopt Pilot Changeover Transition

Pilot changeover means the new habit replaces the old one but only in a small scale. From being hardcore non-vegetarian to extreme vegan can sometimes take a toll on your body.Its best to reduce meat consumption day by day which will help your body to adapt the new diet without any trauma.

Reduce your meat or fish diet to a day or two in a week.Replace it with delicious dishes which will help you to resist the meat.

Once you become habitual of eating plant based diet, remove that cheat day and voila! you are officially a Vegan.

Step 3 : Surf Recipes Online

Many non-vegetarians think that veganism is all about bland and costly food diet which is not the case at all.There are many vegans and vegetarians around the world then you think.For example; 40% of Indians are vegetarians and we all know how yummy Indian food tastes.

Try to look on Youtube and Google about these tasty recipes from different countries around the world.

Step 4 : Don’t Forget Your Vitamins and Protein

Meat and Fish are rich in vitamins and proteins.It is hard to get the same level nutrients from plant-based diet.Therefore you need to take supplements of certain nutrients which are not so high in vegan diet.Examples of these nutrients are Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron and Protein.

Reach out to your doctor once if you need.

Step 5 : Subscribe to Meal Subscription Boxes

In the start of your diet transitioning, it can be a little stressful to prep for meal daily.Therefore try and find out some meal subscription box.The box contains all the groceries with perfect measurement which you will need to cook for a particular dish.

Examples of such meal subscription boxes are Hello Fresh, Sun Basket, Freshly etc.

Step 6 : Surround Yourself with Positivity

It is well known that food and mood are inter-related.Any change in eating patterns can cause mood swings.So it is very important to surround yourself with a good company.

Follow some really good vegan account pages on Instagram, Reddit and Facebook for day long motivation.My personal favourite community is r/vegan on Reddit.

Step 7: Try Vegan Substitutes for Meat and Dairy

In market there are several vegan substitutes of your favorite food.Try out these substitutes whenever you are craving for it.

I personally love almond milk and vegan cheese.They are healthy and delicious

Conclusion

Remember the changes you are making is a big one.And its okay to not be a perfect from DAY-1. The only thing that matters is your end goal.You transitioning will help you and this whole world.Good luck!!

A Surprisingly Fresh And Fishy Vegan Stew…

Tags: Cooking, Plant Based, Vegan, Recipe, Food

Drain, rinse, and chop your things

Drain and rinse all of your beans thoroughly. I know I say this in every recipe that contains beans, but here I go again: make sure to rinse them off properly because you want to control the amount of sodium in your food. The sodium levels affect the flavor and your health. Set aside.

Do a chunky dice on all of your veg and set aside.

If using firm tofu as a fish replacement, make sure to drain as much water as possible; you can do this by placing a plate or bowl on top of it and allowing it to press for 10–15 minutes. Once, the water is removed, season with lime juice, nori furikake/ seaweed, fish seasoning and green seasoning. Let it sit in the marinade for up to 30 minutes. You can then bake it for 30 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or shallow pan fry it. Set it aside.

Hey guys, how you doing your probably reading this cause you want to see so great vegan recipes and possibly making them. I also will share a link to a great vegan diet that is a great help for vegan beginners

Here a great vegan recipe called Chipotle Cauliflower Nachos😋‼️

Ingredients

Chipotle Cauliflower “Cheese” Sauce:

1 cup chopped cauliflower

1 cup peeled and cubed Yukon gold potato

¼ cup raw cashews

3 tablespoons water, more as needed

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 chipotle pepper from a can of chipotles in adobo*

1 garlic clove

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

For the nachos:

Tortilla chips

½ cup diced cherry tomatoes

⅓ cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup Pineapple Salsa

¼ cup diced red onion

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

Make the sauce: Place the cauliflower and potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1-inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain, let cool slightly, then place in a high-speed blender with the cashews, water, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, chipotle pepper, garlic, onion powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Spread the chips onto a platter, drizzle with the chipotle cauliflower sauce, and top with the cherry tomatoes, black beans, scoops of pineapple salsa, red onion, and the cilantro. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*This sauce is mildly spicy. If you want a spicier sauce, add an extra chipotle pepper or a scoop of some of the adobo sauce, to taste.

Hope you enjoy this recipe and please stay tuned 4 many more

There was no significant difference in vitamin B12, which was present in approximately the same amount in both groups’ blood. Since vitamin B12 is taken up almost exclusively by animal food, the supply of participants following a vegan diet could be due to dietary supplements. “This study makes it possible to compare a vegan diet with a mixed diet about various vitamins and trace elements,” says BfR President Professor Dr. Andreas Hensel. “Both diets investigated revealed a lack of iodine. However, the shortage is clearly more distinct in the vegan variant.”

In the RBVD study, the BfR research team analyzed blood and urine samples and evaluated lifestyle questionnaires and dietary protocols. Of those participating (18 women and men respectively per group aged 30–60 years), almost all those following a vegan diet and one third following a mixed diet took different food supplements.

The study results were particularly noteworthy about the trace element iodine. Iodine excretion measured in urine samples provides information on how well the body is supplied with the trace element. The majority of the participants had a deficiency. The deficiency was significantly more pronounced among vegans. In one-third of them, the level was below 20 micrograms per liter (?g/L), the limit defined by the World Health Organization (WHO); anything below this represents a serious shortage. However, a vegan diet has also shown health benefits, such as a higher fiber intake and lower cholesterol levels. For both diets, about 10% of participants had an iron deficiency.
More Animals Placed on the Endangered List as Vegans Continue to Eat Their Food

Vegans! Barbaric vegans, with their holier-than-thou attitude continue to threaten the wellbeing of endangered animals by eating their food supply.

Vegans, with their savage apetite and grab-all-you-can attitude, have been snapping up fruits and vegatables at a relentless pace that the animal kingdom is struggling to keep up with.

Animal biologists around the world are complaining of depleted food sources for animals as western vegans get fat on the (literal) fruits of their labour.

A rescued mountain gorilla, (pictured above) who has been taught sign language, asked “why are they doing this?” He then shook his rolled (but not clenched) hand, as if to say, “wankers”

Now, an action group has been formed to combat the threat vegans pose to animals.

Named the “Society Against Vegan’s Animal Global Extinction Strategy” or “S.A.V.A.G.E.S.” they have promised to battle against the threat posed by the spread of the vegan ideology, claiming “It’s a cult! A dirty self-serving cult.”

A spokesperson for the group said, “We will not rest until every vegan understands the impact of their selfish and deplorable choice to invade and claim the animals only source of food.

Another member claimed, “Veganism is not a lifestyle… It’s a deathstyle… for these poor innocent animals.”

Meanwhile vegans (notoriously the angriest members of society) refused to be interviewed for this article.

The battle for the animal’s food is heating up. The battle for animal rights, is just beginning.

Vegan Trajectory

Since the end of March, the beginning of the quarantine, my life has changed completely. I started to work from home, the living room of my apartment became an office, an office for two (my sister is a teacher and started teaching online). Over the months I started to feel pain in my body, because it is not very comfortable to spend more than five hours working at the dinner table. I only leave the house to go to the supermarket, I don’t do my functional training and exercise at home, I can’t.

I started to use more Whatsapp to talk to my friends. To relieve my stress I started cooking, I always liked to cook, but making vegan sweets has always been a problem for me, and on this social isolation I made: cookies (picture 1), cakes (picture 2), “pé de moleque” (picture 3), churros (picture 4) and “pão de melado” (picture 5). Recently I made my first vegan panettone, actually vegan chocolate panettone (picture 6) 💚💚.
Meat’s affair with Global Warming.

There is no denial to the fact that a lot of us are avid meat lovers. But did you know that this warming of stomach with meat delicacies can warm up our planet too.

Isn’t it strange to believe that this specific fondness in our consumption habit is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and thus a cause of Global warming. (being 14.5%)

For our trawl, lets mince the meat into two categories-

a. Ruminant meat -

Ruminant meat is from herbivores (For instance- Cows, Sheep, Deer, Goats, Buffaloes, etc.) which have stomach that contain a specialized bacteria capable of digesting tough and fibrous material, such as grass.

Ruminants belch out methane, a greenhouse gas which is 28–34 times more powerful than CO2 over a 100-year period.

b. Other meat-

Other meat includes pork and chicken.

In comparison to ruminants, Chickens and pigs do not produce as much methane.

One of the reasons for this animal emission through belching is due to the varied biological growth cycle of these animals.

Unlike Pigs and chickens, Cows for a fact take longer to grow and reproduce requiring more feed (Grass) and eventually larger land to graze causing tropical deforestation. To nourish these cows, farmers have to stimulate plant production for good yield which would be difficult without use of fertilizers. However, the fertilizers used by farmers are nitrogen based which emits out greenhouse gases like CO2 and nitrous oxide during its production.

With all said and heard about emissions and global warming through animal based products, the climate impact is considerably 50 times smaller of plant based food and so can be our consumption delight.

Considering the increasing global population with rising meat products demand, the greenhouse gas effect is ought to soar up consequently, with current practices.

Does this require us to stop consuming meat for saving our planet?

May be not. Even the animal based dairy products have a higher climate cost than pork and poultry because of the resource intensive nature of cattle rearing. Further, it is proved that the farming and production conditions affect meat and dairy emissions. Thus, improvising the farming practices and production conditions can limit the emissions.

It is advised to consume less meat. Thus, it shall not be surprising to see the “meat tax” in future to curb meat consumption.

Why opt for a veggie diet over a meaty one?
Tags: Healthy Eating, Dairy Free, Veganismo, Vegan, Veganism

In the last few years, there has been a revolution of a different kind. A change that people are bringing in their eating patterns by switching to a meatless diet. The reasons are varied starting from compassion towards the animals to the fact that a vegan diet is definitely healthier. The important thing here is to understand that no matter what your reasons may be to switch to a veggie diet, there are a number of benefits indeed.

Let us take a closer look at understanding the benefits of switching to a diet that is enriched with vegetables.

Nutritional benefits: It is true that meats like fish and poultry provide valuable proteins and minerals, however, there are plenty of minerals, vitamins and fibers that can be only found in vegetables. It goes without saying that along with the abundance of proteins, it is essential to make sure that you get a balance of vegetables as well.

Health benefits: It is a well-known fact that vegetables contain some of the highest quantities of minerals and vitamins than compared to the meats. Eating 5 serves of essential vegetables can help boost your diet with vitamin C, iron, magnesium, folic acid, fiber and potassium as well. This, in turn, helps regulate our blood sugar levels which keep us more energized.

Did you know that meat-eaters are likely to be three times more obese than vegetarians and about nine times more compared to vegans? This fact is enough to prove that those people who opt for a vegetarian or vegan diet are less likely to get affected by obesity in the long run. Having said that it is important to take note that when we consume vegetables we never eat them alone. Most of the times we cook them with add ones like butter, oil and mayonnaise which has a lot of hidden calories. In order to ensure that you stick to a less fattening veggie diet, it is important to control what you are adding to your salads and cooked vegetables.

A vegetable-rich diet helps take control of your cholesterol levels. If you suffer from acne problems most dermatologists recommend cutting back on hydrogenated fats that are found in meats, which means that switching to a vegetarian diet helps bring back radiant skin.

These are a few reasons why more people are switching to a plant-based diet and are stopping their consumption of meats.

The right plant-based diet for you

Plant-based diets can help reduce your risk of heart disease, but they’re not all created equal.

It’s clear that following a plant-based diet is associated with a lower risk of heart disease. But do all plant-based diets have the same effect? And do you really have to cut out all meat for your heart’s sake?

“For heart health protection, your diet needs to focus on the quality of plant foods, and it’s possible to benefit by reducing your consumption of animal foods without completely eliminating them from your diet,” says Dr. Ambika Satija of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public”‘Read more”
