What is wrong with people? Why do we eat frogs?

Thought this would make a nice snow day meal and stay in line with my #Reducetarian goals. It’s a super quick mushroom & kale pasta. I used chickpea pasta and loads of #garlic. Even the 8 year old ate it!

I am using this morning's 2 hour school delay to start The #Reducetarian Solution because one of my goals this year is to eat less meat. Over the years I’ve had brief periods of going #vegetarian and a small moment trying to be #vegan but I can't quite turn the corner. This collection of essays covers three areas that benefit when we reduce our meat consumption: mind, body and planet and seems so far to generally take Michael Pollan's advice to “eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

A favorite #nondairy mini-snack to fuel writing.

@colo_lee @ninalets Completely agree. #reducetarian

Here's the only turkey in my house today. Whether you're vegan, committed to mostly plant-based eating, or reducetarian, I am grateful for you-- for everyone choosing compassion in eating. #vegan #plant-based #reducetarian #futureoffood #animalrights

A problem with terms like 'reducetarian' and 'flexitarian' is that they leave the ratio of meat to plants unspecified.

When it comes to change, it is more effective to have clearly defined, highly specific, goals. Valuable environmental efforts such as this are ideally quantified.

Reducing compared to what/when? By how much? How flexible?

Also missing is support and accountability. A vegan is very aware of their commitments and peers' expectations.
