Flesh is for Zombies Go Vegan
Came across this picture of when I spoke at Portland’s VegFest. Seemed appropriate for Halloween. Not only is flesh for zombies but cheap chocolate too. Around Halloween I cringe when I see all the ‘treats’ for kids knowing that many of them come from slave labor. The Bitter Side of Chocolate is a great documentary to see and show friends around this time of year.

Talk at Nourish Sequim
I find myself in this little town of Sequim, WA realizing how much we can do in our own communities. The internet informs me of chemtrails, GMOs, privatization of our water, and the myriad of other concerns facing us today. While all that’s true and at times overwhelming, I find inspiration when I give these talks and see good-hearted people show up to take back their lives. Someone once gave the advice to avoid inactionable news. That is, watching events on mainstream media that are played over and over to instill fear.
Finding the balance of being aware on a global level and taking action on the the circumstances within my control keeps me sane. What I can do is buy organic, plant-based food from local farmers, keep my immune system strong by listening to healing music and centering myself with daily yoga.
People like those who showed up last night remind me there’s an undercurrent of change happening with individuals who care about not only about themselves but the greater good of mankind. We all have it in us. To know in our bones that we matter – that the consequences of our choices ripple out to our neighbors brings us together for a stronger collective voice.

I moved to Sequim, WA just in time for the fresh strawberries. There’s something about the soil here that makes the produce out-of-this-world delicious.

In this talk you’ll learn how we got to the current system of chemicalized, convenient foods, the benefits of a raw food diet and how to successfully go through the change that comes when you shift your diet away from the Standard American Diet (SAD).

Marching to the beat of a different drummer has always been easy for me. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve felt different from the pack. When my friends razz me about bringing a giant mushroom to a barbecue instead of hamburger it doesn’t phase me much. I don’t mind because I know that a … Continue reading Mushrooms at a Barbecue: Marching to the Beat of a Different Drummer

Thanks to the ladies on Bainbridge Island who brought me over for a Smoothie Class. We got to explore the difference between a regular Kitchen Aid blender to a Designer Model Blendtec. The Kitchen Aid actually did quite well with liquids and fruits. We found the real need when you start adding frozen fruit and … Continue reading Do you really need a high-speed blender?
A couple people in this raw food class talked about the difficulties in staying raw in this society. When one person was detoxing, a nurse advised her that raw food was unhealthy. The woman giving her this advise was overweight and a smoker. I wonder where this nurse got her information. That’s an important distinction. … Continue reading Social Justice and Vegan Food
