Default A Positive Alternative to Food Porn

Posting this here, because the site's recipes lean heavily vegan or vegetarian.

Do you ever look at some version of high-cal food photography (like, for example, "This is why you're fat") and think "wow, I know this is terrible, but I want to try that!!". It happens to me less and less nowadays, but it's still risky, for me and for a lot of others.

Here's the healthy version, sure to tempt you not with high-fat, high calorie goodies, but with gorgeous veggie-based dishes and people participating in healthy activities.

Go take a look, or better yet, make something or do something, take a photo, and submit it!

This Is Why You're Thin

Key difference: unlike "This is why you're fat," which just summons up cravings because I *know* what the food tastes like, these photos actually intrigue me because I *don't know* what the food will taste like. I use the different verb form intentionally, because I am obviously trying out all of these recipes once I'm home. Thanks for the link!

Thank you so much for posting that! Not only are three good recipes, but it's refreshing to read a blog about being healthy. I feel like a little kid eavesdropping on the grownups' conversation
