As part of a plan that involves being money-smarter and food-healthier, I'm really trying to get crackin' again with cooking and generally being a kitchenette diva. This means a bit of planning, and also means Sunday afternoons and evenings are turning into a bit of a cooking fest for me. I made dinner (for today and tomorrow, and hell, probably enough leftovers for a lunch or two also), cooked up a batch of tofu scramble for breakfasts this week, and even have a coffee cake in the oven right now. AND I managed to get out running.

One nice thing about this regimen -- besides a lot of good eatin' -- is that, for instance, I went shopping at Sunflower today and came away with two very stuffed bags of food for less than 20 dollars. This is the wonder of being vegan -- it's almost all veggies and such when you get going with proper cooking and don't rely on premade foods.

So, I've probably eaten healthier in the past week than I have in months. Gotta keep this going so I can be super healthy Gregory, and frugal Gregory to boot (that last one an important part of the Save Up For A Laptop Campaign).

20 Worst Foods When Eating Out.

Seriously, folks, I almost got physically sick going through that slideshow. And it's not just a squeamish vegan reaction to mounds of flesh and dairy deep fried in various disgusting ways. It's the sheer huge mass of it. Gluttony gluttony gluttony. America as one giant, gaping maw sucking down on the world. How much good could we do by simply becoming sensible about the quanitities involved in our eating? How much less animal sufffering, how much less environmental destruction, how much less generated waste, how much less fuel consumed, how much less money spent on health care for easily preventable problems?
