What's A Savvy Vegetarian?

Sun, 3 Jan 2010 16:12:13 -0600

What's A Savvy Vegetarian? - Savvy about vegetarian diet, healthy eating, green living, organic non-gmo food, sustainable agriculture, and the environment. "Savvy Vegetarians aren't born full grown, but gently evolve into a vegetarian state of mind and body, gradually becoming aware of how everything works together for a successful vegetarian diet. " "Going Veg Is Easy: Sure, it involves changes to every aspect of your life, new knowledge about vegetarian diet and nutrition, and new ways of doing basic things - like cooking and eating. To go vegetarian you just need flexibility, persistence, and a good sense of humor. Piece of cake!"

Savvy Vegetarian Bio - Judith Kingsbury Goes Vegetarian

Sun, 3 Jan 2010 16:09:21 -0600

How Judith Kingsbury became the Savvy Vegetarian through trial and error (mostly error)...

"I was born a sugar addict in a small town 200 miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The word "vegetarian" wasn't part of our vocabulary. "Nutrition" was a foreign word. "Organic" was a chemistry term. "Healthy diet" meant you were lucky enough to eat three meals a day. Sugar was a major food group, and cooking was a chore."

"I pretended I knew exactly what I was doing, but soon found out that excessive enthusiasm, along with an arrogant disdain for facts, is a dangerous combination. Without knowing a thing about vegetarian nutrition, I started my vegetarian diet by jumping into extreme macrobiotics..."
