First Post- An Introduction

Hello and welcome to Bananas For Plants! I wanted to create this blog to share with you the benefits of adopting a whole foods plant based diet (WFPBD) otherwise know as a vegan diet. Actually I hate  strongly dislike the word 'diet'. It brings to mind feelings of deprivation, desperation and frustration, none of which I'm particularly fond of. So exit diet and enter lifestyle! I've been vegan for two and a half years, I have a diploma in Advanced Nutrition from the Alive Academy and a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition form eCornell. I'm raising my beautiful, smart, funny, compassionate and wonderfully artistic 11 year old daughter who is also vegan. I have a deep love for all animals and believe we can survive just fine without consuming them. So whether you're already a herbivore, an omnivore, or just veg curious I hope I can help inspire you to make or continue to make healthier and more compassionate choices. Lets all go bananas for plants!
