Organic vs. Vegan

This will be a short one, ahhh I feel like every time I go shopping I have this discussion with my honey. I have done tons of research and have been making the transition to clean eating step by step. Each time he shakes his head and tells me, "you won't convert me. I'll always be a carnivore." 

I feel like that's close minded. I'm not trying to delete meat from our diet. I want us to eat healthy chemical and hormone free foods. Not only because they are healthier, but they taste so much better. Being vegan means that you eliminate the use of animal products in your diet an life I believe. Eating organic foods means they are free from chemicals, antibiotics and gmo's (genetically modified organisms). 

My biggest switch has been done in meat. Where as before I would scavener hunt for a bargain on meat; I am now willing to pay more money for natural non-altered meat. I also want to cut out processed foods, like canned good. We eat a lot of veggies with our meals, but I want to start buying local rather than from big named brands. 

I know its not a lot, but a little goes a long way. Growing up my parents fed me anything. We ate out a lot. I don't want my kids to be raised that way. I want to make a difference in their lives with what they consume, and I am concernes about what they consume.
