Define your purpose for a plant-based diet

I am one of those people who needs to “climb mountains.”

Life does not come to me, I sprint towards it.

I have also been indecisive and changed directions and life goals more than I can count.

But this is different.

I grew up on McDonald’s and Kool-aid and Taco Bell.

I had high blood pressure at 21.

I eventually got into smoking meats, mostly pork in my 30s.

I have 4 grills.

I had no idea I was going to start this journey.

I was unprepared for being plant based.

I never ate tofu before I turned 40.

My wife told me I was crazy and threatened to leave me for a Texas pitmaster (jokingly).

“Yuck!” my kids said while tasting my early plant based cooking.

But I kept at it.

Today I made plant based spaghetti with no beef veggie ground and they licked their plates clean.

I don’t do things because they are easy.

I do them because it is right.

That’s my purpose.

What’s yours?
