Greetings from Newfoundland, Canada

So happy to have heard Alicia's message and to be a part of The Kind Life. Growing up in Newfoundland was not the kindest diet although better than some places. Our settlers came from England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Spain so we are definitely a meat and potatoes society. When I first started to cook in my young teenage years I remember telling my mother I didn't like my spaghetti sauce to have meat in it so she would let me make my own tomato based one. And when they would have a full steak, I would only eat a third...so I guess I've been a flirt for a long time hahaha.
My best friend has been Vegan for about 8 years so I had a pretty good introduction and The Kind Diet has just helped to increase my awareness about food and the planet. I always supported his diet as long as he was getting enough protein and would include him in my dinner parties and create a menu entirely for him to go along with the rest of the food.
I ordered the book online and had it shipped to my island because it wasn't at the bookstore. I'm still in my flirting stage and loving every minute of it. There is so much good information I can't wait to get it all inside my "mindgrapes" haha.
Just wanted to say hi and hope everyone has a great weekend.
Cheers,
Shyama
