“Bird Food” Never Tasted So Good

I hear it all the time:

“Vegan food is bird food.”

When my meat-loving cousin stayed with us last month, she was a great sport—totally open to trying plant-based meals. One night, while describing dinner to her boyfriend over the phone, he laughed and said:

“That’s not food—that’s food’s food.”

Honestly? Hilarious. But also… kind of exactly the point.

The truth is, we can shift our focus and become more conscious eaters. You can eat well without making another creature suffer. And if that’s not your thing, cool—maybe just consider sourcing your meat and dairy from non-factory-farmed, more ethical producers. Still not your thing? Then maybe you’re exactly who should watch the new film At The Fork. I’m super excited to check it out this week—because we’re all still learning. And the more informed we are, the more meaningful our choices can be.

Today’s “bird food”….
A spicy, super-sized, veggie-powered, mouth-watering sandwich:

🥪 Ingredients:

• Toasted whole grain bread

• Kite Hill Cream Cheese and Old Style Whole Grain Dijon

• Sliced avocado

• Carrot, cucumber, pickle, heirloom tomato, onion

• Engine 2 Pinto Habanero Burgers

Give it a try—might just ruffle some carnivore feathers. 🐦🌶️🌱

And in just 10 minutes, we were grubbing down on this guy. *No one was harmed in the making of this meal*
