I miss Mardi Gras. I miss being in crowds on Fat Tuesday. Im hoping for a speedy recovery from the pandemic so we can all congregate again.

After Fat Tuesday, Lent begins. Lent is the 40-day period before Easter when Christians stop eating meat and dairy in remembrance of Jesus 40 days of reflection. As a Christian, Lent has meaning to me.

For me, I already dont eat meat and dairy. My plant-based diet helps reduce chronic diseases, environmental degradation and animal abuse. Countless reports have linked consumption of animal products with risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer and other diseases. A U.N. report named meat production as a source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Investigations have revealed animals raised for food under horrible conditions of caging, crowding, drugging and mutilation. These actions go against what I believe.

Lent offers an opportunity to honor Jesus powerful message of compassion and love for all living beings, stop subsidizing the meat industry and choose a nonviolent plant-based diet. Its a diet that goes back to the Bible (Genesis I:29) and observed in the Garden of Eden.

Enter plant-based Lent in Google and explore hundreds of meat-free recipes.
