Having grown up near the seashore and forested area, and having regularly witnessed her parents gardening, growing their own products, making more sustainable living choices, and taking care of stray animals roaming through our neighborhood, made me very excited to learn about the sustainable nutrition campaign being organized in my country and participate. 🌍🍃

A pleasant surprise was finding out that Latvians are becoming increasingly aware of the ever-increasing negative impacts of industrial activities and meat consumption on natural resources, and that even more young people and public figures are choosing to adopt vegetarian lifestyles (even for a month or two). In addition, I learned a great deal about environmental science from popular science videos and joined a community of shared values. It was also a pleasure to experiment with original vegetarian recipes and grocery shopping recommendations. 🤓

Would you be interested in taking part in such a campaign? Does the idea of completely switching to plant-based protein (even for a month) appeal to you? Do you have any suggestions for improving our ecological footprint further? Your opinion is welcome in the comments! ☺️

Thinking about going vegetarian?

If you are thinking about going vegetarian, good on you! 

Healthy, balanced vegetarian diet is beneficial for your health and also much better for the environment. 

In my experience, to be able to stick with being vegetarian, and what more - to actually enjoy it, you will need to consider a few things: 

In order to stay healthy, you will need to make sure that you get all the protein and necessary minerals and vitamins from your new diet. It isn’t simply a case of getting rid of all the meat and eating more carbs and vegetarian processed food. 

What usually people miss when going vegetarian is the umami flavour. That can however be easily replaced with imaginative recipes and ingredients. 

The other important thing to think of is texture.

Sunday sentiments 🎯 …unBULLievable!!! The Long Island bull, nicknamed “Barney”, who escaped on his way to the slaughterhouse, has eluded capture for 6 days. His will to live is inspiring me to keep pushing towards the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. Anyone else grapple with this on the daily? I just love animals so much & don’t want to eat them. Wish my tummy would agree with my brain but we’re working on that!!! {My ceramic skull is from @homesense} #barneythebull #thelongislandbull #freebarney #lethimlive #sundaysentiments #stopeatinganimals #cantanymore #goingvegetarian #hardonketo #whentheresawilltheresaway #ceramicbullskull #skullart #blueacreseastport (at Eastport, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwODDrsg86/?utm_medium=tumblr

That’s me holding the yellow catfish at 16 years old, along with my dad and little brother. I grew up as an avid carnivore in South Texas. In fact I still love the outdoors and I enjoy bow hunting and bow fishing. Unfortunately, by the time I was 30, my blood pressure was around 149/90. I had to change something. Today, I am mostly plant-based and it has taken me 7 years to be okay with NOT having bacon and eggs for breakfast. BUT, my blood pressure was 116/80 yesterday. I can also hike longer and benchpress more than my carnivorous family and peers. My point: I’ve always had a connection with the outdoors and changing to a more sustainable lifestyle doesn’t have to be all at once. Start small. Our website even has a video about making some hearty meatless burgers. And, being an environmentalist doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. In fact, when I really crave meat, I still OCCASIONALLY hunt for invasive species such as the pigs that tear up the oat fields. Or, I’ll go spear fishing for invasive lionfish. Message: Carnivores, consider a plant-based diet. Your heart and the environment will thank you for it.

Starting today for six months, I am trying to go 'no red meat'. Only chicken (but trying to make that reduced too). I'm craving for my husband's cooking. He's amazing. So I have let myself have a little pork once whenever he cooks if I can't control. Putting it out loud here so that I feel more accountable and progressively be more plant based consciously. My sister is a pescatarian and she said it's better if it's done progressively so that I don't feel deprived and tempted all together if I stop everything. So I am trying. No judgements please. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #plantbased #transitiontovegan #nojudgement #livingconsciously #noredmeat #challengemyself #selfmotivation #goingvegetarian #betterforyou #dietchange https://www.instagram.com/p/CBH-QYzlFan/?igshid=1azzbi2wcyly1

I got inspired to make this illustration after watching Earthlings (and feeling extremely depressed afterwards). Most of us (with me included) dont realise how shitty and problematic the food industry works, or how much damage it brings to the planet and more importantly... to the animals!! So we know... in times where we have Trump doing shitty stuff... right wing idiots winning elections an not giving shit to less fortunate or statistics all around the world... there is something we all could do: Eat less meat and animal produce (or stop completely, which is something I am trying to do). I know its a bit difficult, mostly because we have conditioned ourselves to eat it since our childhood. But we could all make the planet a lot better if we ALL did these small steps in our kitchen, it would represent an imense move to help the climate and more importantly, to ALL our animals friends, not just the poor dog from the movie we are ALL about to boycott. Beijos 😘 Ps: Watch Earthlings and Cowspiracy! #goingvegetarian #goingvegan #vegan #vegetarian #animalrights #animals #greenpeace #eatyourgreens #vegetarian #vegan #illo #illustration #illustrationdaily #illustrationart #illustrationartist #illustratonoftheday #illustrationlove #animalove #dibujo #ilustracion #ilustracao #artwork #artworks #artwork_daily #artworksfever #artworksfever #artworktoday #artworkshop #artworkoftheday #earthlings #cowspiracy @earthlingsfilm @cowspiracy

The First 48...

On these first two days of the plant based diet I must confess... I haven’t been hungry, and I haven’t wanted for the taste of dairy or meat products. I have been satisfied, and everything tastes so good! Last night I cooked Portuguese Rice (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/portuguese-rice-3644924). Since I’m not cutting fish off my diet, I added some wild caught tuna to my plate. It was delicious! I cannot wait to try other recipes.   One thing I have found... soy milk is not my “cup of tea”. I rather use coconut milk. To my surprise, coconut milk is very low in fat. And I think I can find it in a “light” variety. I also found out I don’t have to do without my Puerto Rican dishes. We actually have in our cusine many plant based recipes! I don’t think I’ll have to worry about the food. I just have to continue on this path. Next week I plan to go to Trader Joe’s. I’ve been told they have great prices on vegetarian items. There are some things I cannot find around, and I know the steep prices at my closest health food supermarket. Looking forward to seeing what is all the hype about that store too. Surprisingly enough, at Aldi you can find organic items at a very very low price. I found there the Vegetable stock under $1.50. Also different varieties of quinoa (which I love). They also carry organic soy milk. But I rather stick to the coconut milk. It’s a matter of taste buds. 

How I feel physically? The pain is still the same. But my tummy is doing great! For those who know me well, I’ve always had tummy troubles with food. I’m more regular (sorry, I know... TMI), and haven’t had any of the “issues” I usually have. 

So far, so good! I’ll keep posting.
