About the site
So… What is this website all about?
The Going Veggie site offers several ways to help you put more fruits, veggies and whole grains in your life! I’ve met hundreds of folks who WANT to eat more healthfully, know that they SHOULD, but have no idea where to start or how to work it into their budget or schedule. That’s fine. Awareness is the first step!
If you are one of these “Veggie Curious” folks, poke around the site and see if something doesn’t strike you as possible. Open your mind and stretch it a bit. It’s good for you! And by the way, almost every vegetarian has once uttered the words “Oh, I could never go without <insert meat of choice here>!” Anything is possible, but you have to choose to open your mind to it first.
Listen to the podcasts - A collection of audio programs offering light-hearted, non-judgmental learning. No scare tactics – just information, interviews and ideas. Download the podcasts (audio) to your mp3 player or listen at your computer now.
Browse the blog entries where Veggie Val raves and occasionally rants, but all for your food knowledge education.
First Steps is always a good place to start when you’re ready.
The Marketplace includes must-have cookbooks for your new healthy eating adventure, cooking helps and even some audio books we love.
Coming soon >> We are working on expanding our recipes section and surveys. In 2010 we will introduce “The Going Veggie starter kit” – created after my being a tad bit disappointed in some of the other offerings out there. Also, tote bags, basic “transitional cooking classes” on DVDs, Video Taste Tests (first is in May about cookies!), ebooks and more! Send us your ideas, too!
Our mission is to help awaken America to the benefits of plant-based conscious consuming – without preaching or animal cruelty videos. (That doesn’t make them any less real, but you can find them elsewhere on the net.)
It’s food, fun and facts with a Southern accent!
Enjoy, Y’all!
Veggie Val
