There was a Veggie Brain.

Once upon a time there was a thought. The thought came from a brain, the brain was very full. This brain had much to think about. Mainly the brain thought about how much fun it is to eat vegetables. Organic veggies, garden grown veggies community farm veggies and so much more. The brain knew that it was supposed to think about meat, but it just couldn't. So the brain went on a quest. The brain searched all over to try to understand why it was different.
The first part of any quest is research. A very important part of brain development is culture and diversity. The Brain thought for a moment and read on. The Brain became excited over the idea of culture but wondered how it could include culture into its veggie lifestyle. The Brain searched on until it discovered the culture it had been lacking. The Brain therefore added soy yogurt, soy cheese and other non-dairy cultured ingredients to its diet. This was wonderful and tasty and made the Brain very happy. Although culture was nice, it was not the complete answer to Brain's quest. It did help the Brain understand that there are more things to eat than simply veggies and meat is truly not necessary for Brain's development, growth and vibrant living.
With veggies and culture at Brain's side the feeling that there must be more to the Veggie Brain diet than this, still remained. So the Brain went back to research again and in this pursuit for more, Brain discovered fruit. Now fruit was really nice and very sweet and satisfying. The Brain loved apples and bananas and grapes with seeds, strawberries were especially delightful. At that time Brain decided fruit definitely needed to be involved regularly in the Brain diet. Brain was blissful with the new discovery! Brain wanted to share the excitement of the Veggie Brain Quest with someone. . . but who?
Once the Brain realized there was no one to share these magnificent discoveries with, Brain became lonely. All it could think about was how it wanted to share its existence with fun friends. To enjoy tasty veggies, enjoy diverse culture and the sweetness of natures candy. But who would listen to a Veggie Brain?
The Brain, being quite clever and inventive decided to create friends to share its world with. The first friend Brain made was Veg Head Ed. VH Ed has much to tell you about his own world that represents the Veggie Brain. This Veggie Brain is not totally concerned with warning you about the harmful conditions of animal farms and factories, the horrible health concerns associated with pre-packaged foods, the woes of eating meats and/or other animal products. Nope!
In fact this leads me to our #1 FAQ (frequently asked question), which is: Why?
The answer is simple:
Fun! We are all about Veggie fun time! Live a little.
Go crazy with your veggie self.
Don't worry about what you aren't eating and think about the silliness of life. Does it matter if you are a veggie brain or a meaty brain? Not here, we welcome every single brain.
We have fun. We eat well. We are healthy. We are hungry and inventive. We are tired of people feeling sorry for us and seeing us as weird. We don't have time to debate over the trivialities of which way of living may be right or wrong. It doesn't matter to us which Brain you represent as long as you have an open one that likes to have fun!
We are vegetarians, vegans and yes there is a meat-eater - (International as well if you count our English Springer Spaniel) but that is diversity and tolerance at its core! Right? Well we think so. Either way you won't find political concerns although you may find a few environmental nudges along with great recipes, stories, cartoons and t-shirts too. Above all else you will find silliness and optimism over healthy living.
There are resources and some of them may be extreme, but you choose what you want and leave the rest for someone else. We will still smile and share our carrot with you anyway!
We are Ed-ucating the World We Eat In. . . and having a great time doing it!
