Vegetarian
The journey so far
Wednesday, 26 November 2008It's been 3 months since I started doing the G Challenges. Some of the challenges have turned into habits for me. Have they led to a change in habits for you, or made you re-think your daily activities?
Learning new food habits
Monday, 17 November 2008How will this vegetarian challenge affect my future meat-eating habits? What I've learned is leading to changes in my diet.
