Hello Beautiful Person!
Thank you for visiting my website, and I hope that you are inspired and delighted as you meander around.
You may wonder why I've chosen to create a predominantly plant based recipe blog? I believe that eating more plant based food and less meat, eggs and dairy is the greatest individual, daily political action one can take to prevent climate change.
I'm passionate about the Climate Change Movement, and believe it is the greatest challenge our generation and future generations will face. As you may already know, it's currently effecting ocean acidification, rising sea levels, shrinking of glaciers, mass extinction of species, more intense heat waves, an increase in wildfires or bushfires, and much more.
How does eating more plant-based foods help? Farmed animals require tremendous amounts of grain, water and pasture lands and there is deforestation of rainforests and national forests occurring every day to make more space for farmed animals. It takes approximately 11 times as much fossil fuel to produce a calorie of animal protein, as it does a calorie of grain protein. It also takes a huge of amount of energy in the killing, processing, transport and refrigeration of animals compared to vegetable and grain production.
Cows, chickens, turkeys and pigs all product methane, which is about 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in our atmosphere. So the more of these animals in the world, the hotter it's going to get, which in turn means all the current problems of climate change will only continue. As per a report published in 2009 by by the Worldwatch Institute shows that a staggering 51 percent or more of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture.
I believe that we need to be the change we want to see in the world, as Ghandi said so many years ago. I believe plant based food is not only great for the planet but can be utterly delicious. Activism has never tasted so delicious!
Whether you live a plant based lifestyle, would like to incorporate more plant based food in your life, or are cooking for a friend or loved one – I truly thank you for making the choice to enjoy a plant based meal(s), and hope that you find a recipe that makes your taste buds sing with joy and your heart burst with delight!
I believe we're all meant to live happy, creative, fun, loving lives and so I also blog on wellness and living a more balanced life and about my writing - and you'll find my musings above.
Feel free to ask questions, leave comments, and sign up with to my newsletter below!
Wishing you love, light, and all things delicious,
Penelope xoxo
