Considering what shifts to make so I'm eating (and cooking) more whole foods this Autumn + thereafter. Want this to yield cheaper grocery bills and less trash!
When I first went vegan in 1994, I recall only needing to take trash out twice a week. And I believe it was largely compost items. Am I getting too many take out items? Hmmm, not so much post-perm job. Am I getting lots of convenience foods? Um, yes. And am I getting primarily produce as I did then? Fair amount, though believe not as much. Think it was 50% or more vegies and fruit. Oh, I recall getting bread without plastics from Great Harvest Bread Co. (in Lincoln Park as I recall, wonder if they're still there/what that place's rent is now), and using containers for bulk products - which was much of my non-produce. Juice was in glass. Hmmm, ya, let's chew on this and shift the dial to Better.
Action item:
+Identify quality bulk pasta, grains & beans grocery store(s)
+Find easy to/from fresh tofu store, where I can use non-plastic containers or at least my own
+Identify the like for tempeh and seitan
