First impressions last a lifetime, we share and tell the world.
Kindfood made a fabulous first impression with me yesterday. I walked down the street and found this wonderful, bright and
cheerful café. Their tag line is Healthy, Fresh, Sustainable. Kindfood
serves vegan fare, they are apart of a "food revolution". Our society is making a switch to healthier living and
worried about our carbon footprint. Kindfood is helping people make that change with their passion and knowledge.
Gene Baur of the Farm Sanctuary was a special guest during our breakfast
at the café, as I sat and listened to Gene talk about his lifetime journey I was actually moved to tears. He is very
passionate about healthy living and saving our animals. I believe he became a Vegan in 1985.
"Gene Baur is co founder and president of Farm
Sanctuary, America's leading farm animal protection organization. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from California
State University, Northridge and a Master's Degree in agricultural economics from Cornell University. He has conducted hundreds
of visits to farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses to document conditions"
Breakfast was served before Gene talked, I had the pleasure of
sitting across from him and of course I had many questions and learned a new lifestyle. I am sure I will not become a full
fledge Vegan, and Kelly the owner of Kindfood encourages people just to try the Vegan diet a couple times a week, rather than
not at all.Having children I am very cautious with their
diets, we are always trying to limit their sugar and fat intake. Too many marketing companies are flashing toys and incentives
to eat take out that has been known to have to large amounts of preservatives. Last week I began a new journey in my life,
and taking a very healthy approach to living, eating and thinking. Visiting Kindfood seemed to validate my new transition.
I did bring home Vegan cupcakes for my children and three out the four girls loved them and could not tell the difference.
