https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep Hello everyone, welcome to my Padlet! I changed my lifestyle in 2017 which eventually affected my food choices. I do not eat meat and during this quarantine period I introduced a plant-based diet in my home. Hope you enjoy this and give it a try! Should you have any questions please contact me on: annakszelenyi@gmail.com en-us 2020-05-09 18:55:14 UTC 2026-02-25 22:12:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f345.png annakszelenyi https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561804996 After eliminating all the plastic packaging from my life, enjoying the benefits of minimalism and basically living a slow-life (more so), I sought to challenge myself on my dietary needs.
What the Health is a documentary film made in US and talking about US organizations and situations. However, everyone should be aware of the dark sides of mass-produced foods. ]]> 2020-05-09 19:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561804996 annakszelenyi https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561837594 So I would not be me if I would not question things only based on a single movie. As I have not got any known medical issues I am not interested in healing myself or curing cancer. So why I want to challenge myself here in Hungary where eating meat and consuming diary is a part of most people’s lives?

I read many articles and books on the topic. Watched other documentaries and YouTube channels. Even tried out vegan options. After thorough research, I could say that this is something I can do on a daily basis. ]]> 2020-05-09 19:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561837594 annakszelenyi https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561855194 How Not to Die byMichael Greger PhD

It is a real source of pleasure to me. I like the texture and the taste of any type of food, I like to experiment with it. I am an amateur home cook so quality ingredient has been always a must for me. 
The first big change happened in my life when I switched to the low-waste lifestyle I live now. I found the perfect market in Budapest, with farmers who grow their vegetables in the Tisza River area and their veggies and fruits taste like heaven. So the core base of my diet is taken care of.

But what about grains and other goods? I buy them in bulk, without packaging in one of the 4 zero-waste shops in Budapest (dependent on which is closer to me by walk or by bicycle now).]]> 2020-05-09 20:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561870346 annakszelenyi https://padlet.com/annakszelenyi/yd3mpiox3we1mnep/wish/561877847 Is located in Csaba utca, near to the Széll Kálmán Square. Their strawberries are to die for!
