Day One

Today was Day One as a vegan. I didn't do particularly well on the eating front. I had the Sweet Greens juice at Starbucks, along with a banana. I had my typical two diet Dr. Peppers, which I really need to stop doing. I had a salad with sesame ginger dressing (Metropolitan Market). I ate about three servings of homemade split pea soup. It was delicious, but a surfeit. 

While I was at it, I went to the fruit stand to buy fruits and vegetables for juicing. I have three juices to make tomorrow. I'm a bit afraid. 

I'm trying to decide whether to toss my dairy and eggs or give them to a friend. They're open, so I can't donate them. I might just make something tasty and bring it to my friends at the wine tasting, but... temptation! We'll see how I feel by next week. Also... cute boy is coming to the wine tasting! I will be bringing my seduction bread and wearing something cute. 

I've been thinking a lot about food, farming, and health. I think I have a good idea for legislation proposal. In order to keep their subsidies, farmers must produce food that is used (not thrown away). Any subsidies lost by the corn/wheat/soy industry fund an addition to the food stamp program. I vote for having a food stamp program that can only be used on fresh produce. Doing so would help people dealing with food scarcity get food that is nutrient dense.
