Why I’m no Longer Dating a Meat-Eater

For a few months, I was dating a wonderful guy, who consumed meat and dairy. Initially, when I found out he ate those things, I was sure I wouldn’t get along with him long-term.

Dating a Meat Eater

A couple of months ago I began dating a meat-eater… I have told myself for the best part of a year, that I would only date someone who was plant-based.

The Power of 3

Growing up I always heard conversations surrounding the definition of a proper meal, meat and two vegetables. I grew up believing that meat and two veg on your plate, equated to the best meal for all! When in actuality, it wasn’t for me. Through conversations I’ve had with others about diet and healthy eating, IContinue reading “The Power of 3”
