What an incredible time we live in where we can have easy access to a wealth of healthy, organic, cruelty-free, plant-based food!

TODAY! Friday 22nd of June!

^{I know. I know. I skipped a day.}

What am I thankful for?

I am grateful for every meal I make and eat

These foods are ridiculously delicious! ![C8C9257D-5002-414A-BBF2-A6009020FB47.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUyBfYn9e2tY8GYCczSVGrixyrr2aPJwpr89PkE5mKU5d/C8C9257D-5002-414A-BBF2-A6009020FB47.png) ^{[source: Nathan Kaye Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nathankayemusic)} Gourmet, healthy, scrumptious and guilt-free. I am grateful that no sentient being has died for my palate for so so many years! I’m sorry if this triggers you. That’s not my intention at all. I’m not the kind of veganese person that rams the ism down anyone’s throat, so please don’t ram omnivorous opinions and endless ~~bacon~~ omnivorous jokes down mine. ^{Not unless you want a tonne of facts delivered daily to your profile for the next year. Hehehe.. but seriously, I have no tolerance for debating this here. I’m just expressing gratitude in this post for being in an abundant enough situation to be able to choose a cruelty-free lifestyle.} But, hey, I do implore you to watch the film **[Dominion](https://youtu.be/LpDJlEQsDoA)** *(trailer link)*when it comes out this year. Also watch for free on YT **[Earthlings](https://youtu.be/BrlBSuuy50Y)** and **[Unity](https://youtu.be/kqXLtt24s4k)** *(full film links)*. Doesn’t hurt to inform yourself, right? ___ *“...most people on this planet eat just beans and rice, they can’t afford meat or they think cows are nice...”* ^{Michael Franti *”Red Beans and Rice”* - Spearhead} ___ Anyway, compassionate blessings to you, your family and loved ones... ___
