Tip Tuesday! “Veggie Monday!”
You can ask my mom, my dad, my brothers, even Crystal-My BFF, I LOVED MEAT! Give me a steak or give me some chicken and I was happy. But eating meat is going through the middle man to get your energy. It takes a lot of grass, grain (and hormones) to get a cow ready for slaughter and because people love their meat, there are more and more cows/chickens/sheep/pigs being bred and fed to then feed us. This is not good for the environment. Animal waste can AND DOES contaminate water sources and ruin soil due to factory farms that are breading to many animals for consumption. Not only that but over grazing can be detrimental to an environment. Did you know that Big Bend National Park was once a grassland, but is now a dessert because of over grazing? That is scary! I challenge you to go with out meat just once a week. Last Easter I gave up meat and honestly, I don’t miss it and I feel better for it. Get your energy straight from the source and not through the middle man. PEACE, LOVE and VEGETABLES.
*I’m trying to do Tip Tuesday every week and Fact Friday, but it’s hard… I’m trying my best… I think I might add a page with vegetarian recipes that I use often… Would you be interested???

I went without meat for almost a year. I did not like it. It’s really challenging to go green, I have tried.
