Conscious Eating: Vegans and Omnivores Unite

What I'd like to see is more people becoming conscious eaters. I'd love to see "vegans" and "omnivores" unite together against something that both can see something inherently wrong with...factory farming.

Let's drop the labels that have been bestowed upon us by society and do something against this atrocity that's now known as the industrial agriculture system. This issue is much larger and will have a greater impact on the environment and our health than the bickering that is currently going on.

So who's down to join the conscious eating movement? How are you going to start today?

Tom Philpott beat me to the punch on this one. He wrote a similar article on Grist.org for the Vegan/Omnivore Alliance against Animal Factories. Let's all join in on this and make some true change.

I totally agree with you!! I'm newly Vegan and Iast year was my first year growing vegetables. I'm having a lot of fun learning about where things come from and what are good and bad things to put in your body!!

@LisaLuvsMAC Word. I know plenty of vegans that still put garbage in their bodies. Regardless, let's unite against factory farming.

I have been vegetarian my whole life since birth but not always eathing the most healthy foods. Just a few days ago made some small tweeks to my food. Now cutting out the white rice and white breads/grains/pasta for the brown whole grains. Also eating more fruits and vegetables. Raw sunflower seeds and trying to get more organics. Also as you have seen going to be eating from my organic balcony garden soon!!! Thanks MIKE

@STeLLaLuNOra no worries. that is completely natural. your body is going through a process of cleansing and adjustment. at least based on what you've said--you'll be fine. in fact, better! :)

[LisaLuvsMAC]

@CanarsieBK I agree you still can put garbage in your body being Vegan. I try not tooo. I'm learning a lot. Great page you have BTW!!

so on point that is just what I have been doing F a label I just try to eat the best thing for me whatever makes me feel good but really I have been changing my diet to try to smell better because I don't want to need deoderant or anything just me.

thanks again
