Hello! I am the Grassy Goat.
A hard-working college student, whose turning a new leaf, and trying to improve her general health by eating vegan, whole foods, and going greener. And someone I hope you all will get to know a bit better through my journey of healthy eating and living.
This all started from when I was growing up in Montana, where I was constantly surrounded by a variety of animals and breathtaking landscape. I became conscious of our impact on the environment, and I was always a guilty meaty. Jump forward many many years, more than I'd like to admit, and now, as a financially-frugal student in California, I've decided to follow my calling! Become a vegan and try to lessen my damage to this beautiful-beautiful world.
This change was brought on by a long, and tedious process of medical woes. And guilt. For starters, I have allergies out of the yin-and-yang, including, milk and eggs. Milk I've been allergic to, since the day I was born. Eggs, well, it came as a surprise further down in my life. When that shocker plopped in my lap, my eyes, and ignorance, were starting to be alleviated to a world out of my meat and potatoes. Jump forward a few years, I watched a show that pulled me from the clouds, where I love to hang, you know (daydreamer), and made me realize that what I was eating was -far- from healthy. Welcome to the life of whole foods.
A few months of investigating, and researching, I came to the realization. I was -already- a 2/3rd vegan. The only meal I ever ate meat was at dinner! I didn't, even, know it. It truly is amazing how easy being green and veganilicous it is! I assumed I had to give up so much; truth is, my favorite things were already vegan. I just never looked beyond the term.
In fact, being whole foods, is a whole lotta harder, than just vegan alone! At least, in my small world of limited resources. Thank goodness for the internet!
The exploration of whole foods, and a wee-bit of my history, is what brought me to greener products and lifestyle. While I could go through the whole spew of how we negatively impact our environment and what our (told) short future doom is, yada yada lecture, the truth of the matter is – I just don't want to breath in those chemicals in most products, nor I don't want to touch them. Or expose myself to them. I'm asthmatic. The purer the better. And while yes, I do love this Earth that God provided us (yes, yes, I am a Christian. Shocker!), I'm a modern girl, who loves technology, and has no plans stepping out of the modern world. So yes, my footstep will never be zero. I never said it would be! This is just my venture of personal self-improvement!
I hope you'll enjoy my blog, and that somewhere in the grassy fields, some recipes or shared information shall help you – as much as it has helped me!
Ciao!
