This blog is meant for those of us who are trying to live a little longer and to help our kids live healthy lives too! Several of us have read a book entitled, "The China Study," which has strongly influenced the way we are trying to eat.

This site is specifically designed to help those of us who are trying to live a vegetarian/vegan type of lifestyle, but feel free to contribute any healthy recipes your family enjoys.

Please send me an e-mail at boren8@msn.com if you would like to be included as an author.
