All right friends, I’m going to be up front about a few things here. I am going to start at the beginning and introduce myself to you as I should have done many, many blogs ago.

I am not a vegan. I am not even a vegetarian. I do not state rules like that, because I know very well how much pressure such statements put on simple ol’ humans. I do tend to eat more vegetables than meat, but I do not condemn those who love their meat, and I do not fawn over vegetarians as a super-species who is more able to subdue their carniverous meat-cravings than the rest of us.

I do know how hard it is to be a vegan in America, although I do not know how hard it is to be such in other parts of the world. And I would like to learn. This is to be a forum, a more-consistently-updated-than-has-been-done-previously forum to create our own world of awareness of organic and local foods. More on that later. For now, read on!
