OK Beth and I have been eating our greens this past two months.

And I must say its been quite a surprise!

My first thoughts we’re crumbs its lettuce and cabbage time.  But I was determined to have a good go at it, for two reasons actually three. One its good for your cholesterol, two its good for the animals that share this planet with us, if we’re not constantly eating them.  Imagine what its like to be born and then spend the rest of your life being fed and watered just to be eaten when you reached your optimum size.

Unless of cause you are a spring lamb!

I have a brain and I understand fear, and we know that other animals understand fear too,  after all the Gazelle would not flee from the Lion if did not understand fear.  The Lion would just saunter up to the Gazelle and say ” look here I’m having a few friends around for dinner this evening I wonder if you would like to come” to which the Gazelle having no fear would say ” but of cause should I bring a friend!”.

This does not happen well apart from in Hollywood style Films.

Three its good for the Planet especially if we buy only organic.

So we have been trying to do this. I must admit my fears were unfounded the recipes are actually quite tasty and textured.

Also the washing up is much easier because your not scraping burnt sticky animal fats of pans afterwards which takes a while sometimes needing soaking over night.

Cooking time is down saving on energy use.

Eating is much more interesting because usually we have not eaten this particular recipe before. It brings adventure back to food, which really had become quite predictable.

Plus my taste buds are being exercised a lot more.

No more salted fatty foods making me wedged to my seat.

Eat your greens? most definately!
