I have decided...not all at once...but over time, to completely change my diet. I am doing this for more than one reason. First of all, I don't want to die young. I want to live a long AND healthy life for myself, my partner, and my future children. I also don't want to contribute to the cruelty towards animals in the factory farming industry. Not only that, but the food is pumped with such terrible and unhealthy things that allow them to make the products more quickly and for a cheaper price, and that allows the food to last longer. Sounds great, right? But is this "cheaper way out" an appropriate substitute? Is eating processed foods, and food that really isn't food at all, an appropriate solution for saving money and time on our meals? After a deep personal analysis of what I think really matters in life, I've come to the conclusion that buying groceries with a later expiration date (or NO expiration date at all) isn't worth risking a shorter life. I am not saying that I am turning into a vegan or vegetarian, because this important discussion goes further than animals. I am stating that "I will only eat REAL food". I will research all of my food before I eat it and make sure to be completely conscious of everything I consume. I will document my journey, hopefully daily, and let you take a look inside my struggles, developments, and discoveries through this life changing process. Wish me luck!!!!! (I'm SURE I'll need it)
