Happy Earth Day!

What is Earth Day? Well, I found a definition from Wikipedia: "Earth Day is an annual day on April 22 on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. In 2013 the day is 43 years' old. It is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 192 countries every year. The day focused on melting polar ice in 2007, Rock (geology) in 2008, a waterfall and marine life in 2009 to parrots in 2010, pandas in 2011 and animated flowers in 2012."


Here are a couple of DIY upcycle projects:

I am going to make portobellas tonight. What will you eat today to celebrate Earth Day?


Radiantly Raw makes some WONDERFUL chocolates to assist in your meal planning. :)


Why not make every day Earth Day!

T. Colin Campbell, PhD

I love this guy! He was part of the China study and others. This is a wonderful video about his findings:
Video featuring T. Colin Campbell, PhD linking together animal protein and cancer
"Most disease-related deaths are preventable by diet."
"Animal protein increases calcium bone loss."
"The consumption of dairy is the best predictor of prostate cancer."



This is his website. There are lots of resources about preventing almost every disease in the book. :) Love it.

"Eating dark leafy greens while avoiding animal foods and processed foods provides plenty of dietary calcium without increasing risk of osteoporosis!"

Heart Disease

Heart Disease is the number one killer in America. However, I have learned that it is 100% preventable. Here is an article from NBC News containing information from a recent study. It sort of explains why. Research the China Study for more information.

Don't eat meat if you don't want heart disease!
