I'm becoming a Fruit "Pusher" and I think I like it

Posted on February 9, 2013 at 2:40am 12 Comments 8 Likes

In our family, I am the fruity. My wife and daughter eat vegetarian, although there is this recent mental move away from dairy (yes! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!). They eat lots of vegan too, but eggs and dairy are always there, at least a little. Cheese will be a tough one to get them off of.

At 2:25pm on June 1, 2013, telicia b. said…: You are absolutely right about learning as you go. I am doing a great deal of research on what I can and cant find locally. I do not want to start until I am armed with all the info I need or I will cave when I run into a wall that I don't know how to conquer. Any suggestions on finding other locals in my area that are on the same path as I am? It would be great to have that.

At 5:02pm on May 26, 2013, telicia b. said…: Thank you sooo much for the comment and all the info! I am going to implement them in every way I can. I have been working on my food connections locally and I hope to have everything in place before I begin completely. but I have added a lot more raw foods to my diet for now. one day soon I will go 100% raw! I cant wait!
