Big Meals or Grazing all Day? Is there a Perfect Eating Strategy for Good Health? | One Green Planet

Over the last few days I have been bombarded with questions about the Taco Cleanse. If you haven’t heard, a group of us in Austin have taken on this challenge for the month of September for a variety of reasons. I can’t speak for the whole group but I can tell you my personal journey.

Over the years I have changed my diet more times than I can count. Since childhood, really, I was on a quest to find what worked best for me. Since moving to Austin almost ten years ago I started supplementing my diet with tacos, particularly breakfast tacos; the most important taco of the day.

The veggie burger is a funny thing. It was one of the first vegetarian and vegan items that mainstream restaurants carried back in the early 90s. It was also one of the first vegan frozen foods (hello Boca!). Here in Seattle, thankfully, it has been remastered by Wayward Cafe and elevated by Plum Bistro. But other than that, most veggie burgers are terrible. Really terrible. They are dry, bread-on-bread, microwaved, and textureless. The house-made patties often just crumble into a pile of dry, unseasoned beans, or grains. They are the last thing I want to see on a restaurant menu.

Some genius vegan told me that Shadowland in West Seattle had a vegan burger. I didn’t jump at the chance to try it, thinking I’d be disappointed. Waiting, was a mistake. So you shouldn’t follow my lead. You should go to Shadowland and eat this thing!
