A Time For Change

Over the last few weeks I have had many people approach me wanting to know more about conscious eating and ethical sourcing. In all fairness, I haven't really discussed much of this on Thought, Spot, Space. In fact, my original intention for this blog was to focus primarily on social issues, literature and culture. Though these are subjects I'm very passionate about, it seems that the focus of my blog has been shifting on its own to something much different. On other social media platforms I have been very actively posting my struggle with quality eating as opposed to continually succumbing to the fast food culture that is so much a part of the American diet. My frustration has led me to do more research into foods, food sourcing and conscious eating. I have also taken steps on a personal level to change many of my lifelong practices of food consumption. Last year, I adopted the practice of juicing, or creating raw food smoothies as a part of my daily routine. Most recently, I have dedicated myself to not eating any processed foods, meats or dairy products, for ten days.  This period has come to an end and I have made a decision to continue to focus on raw foods as my primary source of nutrition while eliminating processed foods, meat and dairy products from my diet. This is a huge struggle for me as, I love to eat all kinds of food. Essentially, I have dedicated myself for a time to living life as a vegan. What started out as a personal experiment has quickly grown into something much more substantial. Over the last 10 days, I have had many people come to me and ask where to get more information and resources about raw food consumption, green smoothies, and ethical sourcing of food products. Because of this growing interest I would like to use my blog to begin to share my experiences and to also hold myself accountable to a much larger audience. In the process, I hope to provide some valuable information for people interested in becoming conscious food consumers. In the near future I plan on filling my blog with practical tips on living a healthier, more natural lifestyle and eating in a manner that embraces individual responsibility, awareness, and a greater level of personal health. I hope that as my readership grows, that this blog can become a valuable source for sharing experiences along the way. The exciting thing is, I will be an active part of this process, as I learn and grow with each of you. Till next time.- Happy, conscious, eating.
