My Vegan
MOFO Mantra’s seem to have become a bit of a tribute to Michael Pollan! This wasn’t
intentional, it simply seems that he so clearly sums up the key criteria of
holistic health. His thoughts resonate with me, not least with this quote.
So true.
Why would I
want to put food in my mouth that contains countless ingredients I cannot even
pronounce. As Brendan Brazier (who’s book, Thrive Fitness, I have just read) puts
it ‘edible food-like substances’ sound pretty gross really. A vegan diet doesn’t
necessarily mean a healthy diet- there are still plenty of vegan junk foods
trying and refined ‘meat replacements’ out there.
I admit I enjoy
the process of preparing food which really helps, but even for those who can’t be
bothered to cook, raw veggie stick, fruits, seeds, nuts and healthy dips take little
or no preparation at all so really there is no excuse not to eat well (at least
most of the time!)
Think
before you eat, it will mean so much more to you and your body will thank you
for it tenfold. I promise.
What is a Mantra for Monday?
