Having been raised on wonder bread and stouffers family dinners :-), I am proud of my "progress" to eating semi-real food, but my family is a long way from healthful consumption and every bit of information helps.<BR/>Thanks.whatsrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175055037883947803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-2901017548397403842008-08-19T02:46:00.000-07:002008-08-19T02:46:00.000-07:00Hey what'sreal,Thanks for the post, much appreciat...Hey what'sreal,<BR/>Thanks for the post, much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a vegetarian as i eat some fish, but I don't eat meat or chicken, etc. Most of my diet is ovo lacto vegetarian though. I eat a lot of rice, beans, tofu, grains etc and a lot of that we buy in bulk whenver we can so they last a long time without packaging. We have, over the years, collected a fair amount of containers and have them lining the kitchen counter.<BR/><BR/>As for fish, my choices are somewhat limited as I try to buy from the fishmonger to avoid packaging. I buy wild caught whenever I can and try to make sure it is fish that is not considered endangered.<BR/><BR/>Farm fish is a problem, but I have to admit that at times I do buy it, depending on where it comes from and other factors.<BR/><BR/>Other than raising your own food, there are no perfect answers so thinking critically about these things and realizing that not everyone is perfect all the time are two things i try to do quite a bit.<BR/><BR/>Farmers markets and CSA's are key also.<BR/><BR/>Consume Less, Conserve More!!!!<BR/><BR/>DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273853131778107163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-20884022758808798212008-08-14T23:19:00.000-07:002008-08-14T23:19:00.000-07:00Thank you *so* much!

I find most of my unrecyclable waste comes from dinner prep (meat trays, boxes etc) <BR/><BR/>Are you a vegetarian or do you sustainably source your meat/fish?<BR/>Thank you!!whatsrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175055037883947803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-64754351058199843212008-08-14T19:13:00.000-07:002008-08-14T19:13:00.000-07:00Hah, the no bag shuffle...I know it well.

Recently, over the last few months, I have been boycotting the plastic bags at the stores. I decided to not accept the bag at the store and am living the consequences of not taking my own to use. :) (everyone is always trying to encourage me to put it in a bag) It is such a reminder for me! I'm a slow learner. I am excited to continue to be wise about my family's waste.foutfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079651678447028444noreply@blogger.com
