Yeah Beans! 🫘🫘🫘

The actor everyone knows as Kevin Bacon is temporarily ditching his famous surname to become Kevin "Bean."

It is the centerpiece of a new Humane World for Animals campaign called Beansday, which nudges people to swap animal products for beans every Wednesday.

The idea is simple, a little silly, and genuinely effective: one easy switch, one day a week, multiplied across millions of plates.

Beans are cheap, filling, loaded with protein, and they never required a slaughterhouse.

If a Hollywood icon can give up "Bacon" for the cause, the rest of us can surely give up the real thing once a week.

Fiber is a vital plant nutrient that promotes digestive health, stabilizes blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, and supports weight management, and remember fiber is only in plant foods!

How much fiber do you get each day?

Sometimes the best sandwiches are made from random ingredients you can find in your refrigerator and a little creativity!

Today it was sourdough bread from Costco, homemade tofu cream cheese, dill pickles, fresh Argula, sautéd cabbage and red onion!
Deliciious!

We are working to get plastic out of our life and our bodies.
We no longer buy plastic water bottles, use plastic to store food, and use plastic utensils. We also purchased a plastic free coffee pot, and a personal blender that has no plastic touching food!

Here is a great podcast about plastic and how it impacts our health.
