“What are your feelings about eating meat?”
I used to be aiming for a plant-based diet where I was not eating any animal products. Now, I am focused on Whole Foods, but incorporating animal products while increasing the proportion of vegetables and fruits in the dishes. The main reason is because my husband does not want to be on an entirely plant-based diet and when I was making separate dishes for each, it was a lot more expensive for us. I am currently working towards making meals where it’s more plant-based in that any meat that is used is there for flavor, as it is in older, cultural dishes that come from when meat was more scarce for less affluent populations. I feel like this style of eating is more healthy since it’s incorporating more veggies and fruits and less processed foods. Processed foods is another reason why I moved away from an entirely plant-based diet – there are so many processed foods that are designed to replace meat that do not really digest as a meat would in our systems. I honestly would rather eat a little meat than eating more processed foods.
