When people find out I am a vegetarian, I usually get the myriad of questions and opinions.........
Why??!!
What do you eat if you don't eat meat?
How do you get your protein?
But meat tastes so good!
Well I couldn't ever do that.
Animals were made to be eaten.
Animals cannot feel anything.
God made animals for us to eat.
Seriously, I could go on and on. Usually I just smile and let the person talk and very rarely do I comment. This is my choice and while it is not the lifestyle for everyone, it is the best choice for me. The one type of comment that just boils my blood is the statements about animals being created to eat/they are less then humans/they do not feel. This just pisses me off beyond words. Just because they cannot talk with words doesn't mean animals cannot feel emotional and physical pain! Animals can feel hunger, they can feel the pain of an injury, they can feel scared. Think about your pet; I know my dogs get quite excited when I walk in the door. They cannot wait to jump up, get a pat on the belly and sometimes they even bark back at me when I talk to them (Want a treat? Let's go for a walk.). My dog Miles gets frequent ear infections. I know he feels pain when his ear is infected because I have held him in my lap as he whimpered and hung his head in pain. I have watched deer in the woods behind my house raise their tails on alert as they sense danger around them (usually my barking dogs!). To say that an animal deserves to die simply because they cannot speak is abhorable.
Now, I know most people do not eat dogs, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to post this video. The dog in the video is being reunited with her owner after the owner served a year in the Middle East. There is no way anyone can tell me this animal is not expressing her emotions. It is very clear that this animal is beyond excited that her master is back with her. Listen to the pup whimper and cry (for over a minute!), watch her tail wag, look at her body curl up as close as possible to her loving owner. This animal, like every other living thing, has feelings. Reason number ONE why I live a vegetarian lifestyle.......

GMO: Part One
I subscribe to a daily email newsletter offered by Dr. Mercola. I like these emails because they contain articles filled with information about food, health, supplements, etc. I don't particularly care for the ads highlighting his supplements, but I guess the man is just trying to get the word out. Anyway, I usually only open the articles that are of interest and/or pertain to the health of my family. The other day I decided to open the link to an article on genetically modified organisms (GMO) and as usual I was sadden and surprised by what I read.
I had no idea how closely linked Monsanto and the FDA were until I started reading the book, "The UnHealthy Truth". This book opened my eyes to the "good old boys club" mentality shared between the FDA and Monsanto. To read how certain people have held positions of power between the two entities and how laws, regulations and rules have intertwined really makes me stop and wonder just how and why these two are so closely linked together. Why would a government agency that was created to help regulate food safety be so closely linked to a trillion dollar biotech company? I, like so many others, feel they are up to no good.
So with this all said, when I opened the Dr. Mercola article, my eyes fell upon this quote: "If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it." - Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994
This quote speaks volumes to me in many different ways. Obviously this man realizes how harmful GMO's are to not only our health, but to the animals and the environment as well. Did you know Europe has basically banned foods made from GMO's? If a product does contain GMO's it must be clearly labeled. In Europe there is virtually no GMO's on store shelves yet when you compare this to the food produced and consumed in the US, the rate of GMO's is about 75%.
So in a nutshell we have two options: buy organic foods as they cannot/do not contain any GMO's or try to get better labeling laws established so consumers can decided which foods to purchase. Here's where it gets tricky. Many activists and organizations have tried to create a law forcing the labeling of GMO on food. The government is very much against this. Why you may ask? Let's say you go grocery shopping and see milk, eggs, meat, veggies, fruit, rice, cereal, pasta and cookies available to you, one produced with GMO's and one produced without GMO's; which would you be more likely purchase? For the record, I would buy the all natural foods. Let's say 90% of the shoppers in that store buy non-GMO foods, pretty soon the store managers will stop stocking and ordering GMO produced foods because they will lose money. If the stores are not stocking the GMO foods the manufacturers will not produce products that contain the GMO and the farmers will not allow the use of GMO crops. If this happens Monsanto will feel the loss. They will not be able to produce their altered versions of seeds and pretty soon they will not have much revenue coming in. The good old boys that work between the FDA and Monsanto will not be living the high life on their six figure salaries and pretty soon life and work will be a bust for them all. It is a cycle. Go back and re-read the quote from above....what context do you take it in now? Will the skull and cross bones represent the poison pulsing through the food produced with GMO's or does it represent the future for Monsanto and it's money should labeling laws go into effect? Hmmmm.......
Sadly Monsanto exercises a lot of control on Capitol Hill and in the DC area thus referring back to the government based FDA link once again. Lobbyists have worked feverishly the past twenty years to stop any type of labeling laws that would destroy what these biotech companies have created. A grass roots organization in California is trying very hard to get a bill passed at the state level that would require the labeling of all GMO's on foods. The hope and idea is that this bill will pass in California, of of the largest populated states in the US with a vast following of organic, anti-GMO followers. If it passes in California, the big food companies will be forced to make changes to their products and product labels. Imagine if Kellog's or Keebler had to print two labels as well as create two different foods. One product and label would state their cereals and crackers contain GMO's and another product and label would be free of GMO's. This is going to take a lot of time and energy and money and in time Kellog's and Keebler will hopefully only purchase non-GMO grains. The idea of passing this at state level is to bypass the big wigs in Congress. Sneaky, but in the grand scheme of it all, not as sneaky as Monsanto and the FDA.
Next up.........the effects of GMO's on our health, wellness and safety.

Recipe: Tuscan Beans
I stumbled across a super easy, super healthy recipe in one of my many magazines and decided to make it for dinner last night. Seriously, it was really tasty, filled us up and best of all was healthy. Alex didn't eat anything for dinner because he was in a mood, but Brennan gobbled it up.
Ingredients:
1lb white beans
8 cups water
garlic
Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Rinse beans and place in a crock pot. Cover with 8 cups of water.
2. Add in garlic and Italian seasoning to your liking.
3. Cook on high until beans are soft and tender and most of the water has been observed.
A couple of things....
1. The original recipe said to cook the beans on high for 3h 15m. I'm not sure what is wrong with my pot because it took more like 7 hours. Last night's dinner was actually tonight's dinner because the beans were still too hard at 5pm. Once the beans were cooked I placed them in the fridge. I think they actually tasted better this way because the flavors had a chance to mesh.
2. I used diced garlic from the fridge. I buy this little glass container of garlic that is already diced and ready to use rather than using dried garlic. Schnucks was totally out of fresh garlic otherwise I would have used that. I have no clue how much I used, maybe 2-3 tablespoons?
3. The original recipe called for cannellini beans. I looked at Walmart, Schnucks and Shop-n-Save with no luck so I went with white northern beans as the recipe said it would be a good substitute. I wonder if subbing these beans altered the original cook time?
In addition to the beans I served a green salad, crusty french loaf bread and a small side of clementine oranges. The oranges were mainly for the boys because getting them to eat salad is like asking them to eat a turd! It was a healthy, filling dinner that's for sure!
Beans are an excellent source of nutrition. They are high in minerals, fiber and protein. One cup of white northern beans is about...........200 calories; 12 g of fiber; 12% of the recommended daily amount (RDA) of calcium; 21% RDA magnesium; 35% RDA potassium; 45% RDA folate; 16% RDA of vitamin B6; and 20% RDA iron. These beans are also very low in sodium. Beans are a wonderful addition to soups, salads, stews and as a main dish.

Cleaning
I feel like all I do is clean. I live with two little boys, a grown man (boy) and three dogs so needless to say I have a lot of dust, dirt, smears, accidents and whatnot all over my house. Brennan suffers from bad seasonal and environmental allergies so I really do have to be a conscious housekeeper. Skipping a dusting or being laxed on vacuuming can mean a world of difference to him, especially in the autumn when his asthma symptoms are at its peak. I used to just clean and wipe and scrub and spray without much thought. I was (am) busy and just wanted to get the job done. I'm not really sure when or how I started to re-evaluate the way I cleaned, but somewhere in time I decided I needed to start being more responsible. If I care about the food I put on the table I should care about what is actually on the table touching our bodies, right?
My absolute favorite cleaner of all time is plain old white vinegar. Some people think it smells, but I do not mind it. I have added some lemon to it in the past, but usually it is just vinegar in a spray bottle. I clean almost everything with vinegar. My windows, stove top and the bathroom faucet shine beautifully after a vinegar wipe down. It is great for cutting through grease on the counter tops and stove top. Alex has a bit of an aim issue so I use vinegar to clean out that old gross pee smell. I also throw a little into the rinse cycle of the washer when I am washing towels and undies (the laundry doesn't smell like vinegar so don't worry).
Baking soda is a great mild abrasive. If you have a stain on your counter make a little paste of vinegar and water and apply it straight to the stain. Wait a few minutes and then rinse with clean water. I have never been unsuccessful with this trick. Sometimes my kitchen drains gets a funky odor. I dump some baking soda down the drain, add a little vinegar and lemon juice and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I toss in some ice cubes and turn on the garbage disposal followed by a hot water rinse. So far so good on drain odor! Baking soda is also great at absorbing odors. Try placing some in a small dish in your car and/or the fridge and freezer. I keep a small container under my car seat.
If you like to just buy a store brand I recommend Method and Seventh Generation brands. I love Method brand's citrus scent (pink bottle). I use that spray everywhere possible! Seventh Generation makes an all natural anti-bacterial spray that I really like. I am trying hard to steer clear of anti-bacterial soaps and cleaning products, but the germaphob in me just cannot resist, especially during cold and flu season! Seventh Generation and Method brands make a variety of cleaners including all purpose sprays, glass cleaner, dishwasher detergent, laundry care products, toilet bowl cleaner and dryer sheets.

Do You Know What's in Your Food?
Do you really, truly know what ingredients are in your food? When I cook at home I feel like I have a semi-decent grip on what we eat. I buy ingredients that are as minimally process as possible and I try to buy as much local and/or organic foods as I can. I look for no hormones, all natural, etc. because I really do care about what pulses through my family's body. For example, my snack tonight consisted of an organic tomato, rBGH free mozzarella cheese and basil that came from my backyard garden. Breakfast this morning was 100% rolled oats with honey from my friend's father (he keeps his own bees), hormone free/organic yogurt and organic strawberries. To me, these foods are real and healthy and provide nourishment.
In a perfect world my family would eat well 100% of the time. I would be lying if I said we never ate at a fast food restaurant. Some nights we have Boy Scouts, soccer practice and a staff meeting and that makes prepping a good, healthy meal at home next to impossible. We try to eat at healthier restaurants like a Panera Bread, but sometimes true fast food is what we grab. While it doesn't sit well with me (in more ways than one!) I do allow it to happen. Last week we had the nasty fried bug in the nachos incident at Taco Bell and that has really impacted us. Up until yesterday we hadn't consumed a single bite of fast food for seven days. Then I stumbled upon an article written by David Zinczenko (co-author of the "Eat This Not That" book series) that just blew my mind. Once again, I am appalled and downright disgusted by what is dumped into fast food....can we even call it food? I know fast food is not the best option, but I really didn't know how many fillers were added to it. How can a chicken sandwich have 50+ ingredients? Why does it have 50+ ingredients? Needless to say I am once again questioning our food choices. Did you know......
A KFC Chunky Chicken Pot Pie has 82 ingredients?! I have made pot pie before. My pie consisted of a flour crust (homemade so I knew what went into it), some mixed veggies, white meat chicken breast, spices, milk, etc. Apparently the KFC version is filled with gelatin to give the sauce the appearance is viscosity. Gelatin is made from collagen found inside of animal bones and skin. The pot pie also contains red dye #40, L-cysteine hydrochloride and "chicken flavor". Basically the flavor of the actual meat is so overpowered by all of the extra ingredients they need to throw in some artificial chicken flavoring. Yum?
A McDonald's Big Mac has 95 ingredients. You would think beef, lettuce, cheese and bread would be simple, but some of the ingredients include ammonium sulfate, calcium disodium edta and high fructose corn syrup.
A Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich has 83 ingredients. To look at it you would think a chicken breast, a flour bun, some spices and a pickle would do, but boy would you be wrong. Apparently there are 10 sources of sodium in the sandwich along with TBHQ, blue dye #1 and dimethylpolysiloxane. OK, my spell checker doesn't even recognize half of these words!
After reading these alarming additives I am beginning to re-evaluate how I can easily make a healthy crock pot dinner on our "fast and furious nights". I'd rather be a little rushed than fed my boys preservatives that are also found in dog food, perfumes and varnish.

Taco Barf
Yuck!!! Just had a really gross experience with Taco Bell, or as Brennan is now referring to it, Taco Barf. We do not eat out very much. For starters it is just gross to eat a lot of fast food when you can cook healthier options at home. Plus, fast food is expensive. I can easily make healthier burgers for so much less money at home so why drive through the line? We typically eat out 1-2 times per week. Eating out usually consists of what we feel is actually food, restaurants like Chipotle, Bread Company, Jason's Deli, etc. We eat at these places because they offer safe, healthier options such as organic mac & cheese, organic cuts of meat, rice, black beans and so forth. As much as we limit our fast food we kinda have a Taco Bell issue. Well, we HAD a Taco Bell issue. This is one place that is safe for Brennan, cheap, fast and usually fairly tasty. Granted it is not the healthiest, but there was something about the place that we just really liked.
Last night Bryan and I went to wedding. Then we met up with some friends to drink and laugh and have a good time. Bryan and I didn't go to bed until 2am after a night of alcohol indulgence. The boys stayed at my mom's where they went to bed late and got up early. Needless to say it was a Taco Bell kinda day when lunch rolled around. As I started to unpack the drive-thru bags of cheese rolls up, burritos and nachos I realized they messed up Bryan's order. We were minus two tacos. OK, no biggie, just an order mess up. But then I heard Brennan gag. Inside his nacho chips were something he hadn't order....fried bugs!!! I have no clue what kind of bugs they were, but they were fried and crispy and black and totally revolting. I scooped up all of the food, even the chewed up and "spit it out right now!!" chunks, tossed it back into the bags and drove to Taco Barf. I politely explained that not only was my order incorrect, but we had bugs in our nachos (I tossed a few inside a baggie for evidence). The manager looked horrified as I held up my buggie baggie and apologized profusely for the mistakes. I got our money back and suggested they close up and clean out their supplies. I know this will not happen because they were still placing drive-thru orders as I stood there. I did warn two people, both with young children, to not eat there due to health concerns.
I can honestly say that Taco Barf is off our list of places we will eat from. True, this could happen at even the nicest of restaurants. This is a great lesson as to why we should just cook/eat at home!
