NON TOXIC REVOLUTION
November 12th, 2008 by Keep A Breast
The girls of KAB served up an organic feast last week. Unfortunately we were all too busy stuffing our faces to bring you any photos of the feast but here are some photos of us picking the produce from out organic garden outside of our office! Included my very favorite meat substitute Quorn cutlets, chopped up with some fresh onions from the garden. Beet salad with fresh beets, goat cheese and walnuts a salad with all the yummy lettuce and funny looking carrots we picked and of course some organic wine.
WHY ORGANIC??
Organic means produced without the use of synthetic fertilizers, bio-engineering, radiation, herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides. Organic farms use soil building programs that enhance soil fertility and promote environmental quality for the future.
Why choose organic?
It reduces your exposure to toxins, and you get more anti-oxioidants.
The bad guys…
Meat, Artificial sweeteners, Dairy, Sugar, Refined Carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, cakes, cookies, crackers)
Instead of meat try tofu, beans, or nuts.
Instead of splenda try stevia or agave exract.
Instead of milk try Soy Milk.
Instead of refined carbs try whole grain versions.
Shea and Shaney Jo grocery shopping at the KAB headquarters
Tomatos, Tomatoes. However you say it… they are always delicious.
Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the squash blossoms.
Shea picked a carrot that looked like a fro-yo.
Shaney digs right in.
The Feast!!
