I enjoy the fruits that arise with choices made with mindfulness of my personal commitments. For me, that means living in a manner that causes the least suffering to the beings with whom I share the planet. With that in mind, I enjoyed a vegetarian diet for many years. That period was followed by a reassessment of my commitments and the behaviors that impacted them. The result was the choice to enjoy a vegan lifestyle. After many years of 100% plant-based eating (plant-based and adhering to nutritionally rich, fiber dense foods) I am happy to share that 100% plant-based eating results in better health, greater energy, higher levels of fitness, and more enhanced mood than does a vegetarian diet.

Most humbly, examine your commitments, be clear about how you want to live and what you want to accomplish for your self and others (all others). Follow that examination with behaviors that are aimed directly and undeterrably towards those commitments. What is right for you will be clear.

Peace to You Always,

Jim
