Hi All,
I am not a 'follow the trend' person, so devoting my self to a vegan or vegetarian life is not for me.
I am 66 and grew up in a house where mom loved to cook and bake. Food was generally fried, there were always cookies, cakes or pies around.
The meat came from the butcher and veggies were mostly home grown.
As the super markets became larger and frozen Pizza was invented we ate that too.
When I first got married we ate mostly the same way. but after 3 kids grew up the quick frozen meals became the way, and rarely did we have a recipe cooked meal.
Now my mom is living here with me at 102, and I do the cooking. Much like she did when I was a kid, with the exception of cakes and cookies.
We have salads, pasta, meat, veggies, and a rounded menu. Knock wood we are all healthy and the little bit of germs and pesticides we consume gives our bodies a chance to build an immunity to lager doses.
So my advice is to enjoy life! If you need to go vegan, do it but dont be afraid to have a BIG Mac when the urge comes. But dont succumb to the big mac urges too often.
And if I do see organic, or gluten free, I give it a wide berth.
