Here is my colourful fruit salad for you today, 2 servings of fruit.
Ivy was telling me that there seems to be a trend on the west coast (California, Vancouver) to go vegetarian. In fact, one of my nieces in California has roommates who are vegetarian, they make wonderful vegetarian meals that they share with each other. My sister thinks the trend is due to a desire to save/preserve our environment.
Many break their oaths, I remember seeing a girl pretend like it wasn't a big deal. Besides a moment of being bullied by a family member into eating chicken in my youth, I've been one since I was seven.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Adam
DeleteYour fruit salad looks good! Have a wonderful weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHI Christine my favourite fruits,yummy. My sister is vegetarian ,i also enjoy vegetation meals but my hubby likes his meat xx
ReplyDeletelook excellent.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend
Now this makes my mouth water~
ReplyDeleteThe salad looks wonderful, Christine!
ReplyDeleteIvy is right. I live on the west coast in Oregon (between Washington state & California). It is the land of organic vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free restaurants and markets (indoor & outdoor). Some dietary choices are self-imposed, some for health reasons, but people here are blessed with lots of variety, lots of options. It's kind of nice.
Yum!
ReplyDeleteWith rare exceptions, Hubby and I only have meat when we go out to eat. I find it to be cheaper and healthier to serve non-meat protein sources at home.
I am not a vegetarian ~ but love every kind of vegetable there is. I love fruit and grew up with a Dad that had a garden, and we ate every variety of vegetables. I am also a meat eater. Mostly fish and poultry, but also from time to time have a juicy prime rib or tri-tip. My own personal opinion is that every thing we do should be in moderation...including all kinds of food. I just had my followup yesterday with my doctor, and due to my eating and exercise since Christmas have lost 19lbs. My blood presure is very good, and my colestrol is down significently. He took me off one of my medications due to the good report. Eating is a personal preference ~ I love the enviorment too, but it's been around a long time....Just my thoughts, and I honor and appreciate other opinions. Your fresh fruit looks yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat on the weight loss Wanda thanks for your input
DeleteI love fruit! I'm looking forward to all the spring and summer fruits!
ReplyDeleteHey Christine. It's amazing the vegan/veghead/vegetarian/gluten-free west coast trending. I love that that area has so many options for eating out. Here in rural area, we just don't have those kinds of places to eat. Thanks for the shout out and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeletei would love to go full on vegetarian - i'm almost there. I am having trouble eating another living being lately - well for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteYum, I love fruit! My late in-laws grew the best grapes EVER. That was one thing I always looked forward to. They grew some fabulous tomatoes,too. Gone are the days but oh, what fond memories!
Your fruit salad does look so good.
ReplyDeleteI think there are many more food choices available these days.
It's up to each of us to decide our preference, especially if there are any health issues.
All the best Jan
partly to do with the environment and a love of all things alive,partly because its the thing to do to fit in, partly due to cost in some places lol
