There’s no question that the meat production industry has an extremely negative impact on the health of our planet.  Research has proven that one’s carbon footprint can be reduced by as much as 73% (Poore & Nemecek, 2018). Green Lifestyle Organization’s Beef and Meat Free Environmental Initiative was created with this knowledge in mind.  Not only are meat and animal emissions effecting the environment in a harmful way, there are also many health risks associated with excessive meat and animal consumption.   Fad diets such as the keto diet, which incorporate heavy and excessive animal and dairy consumption are not beneficial to environment nor to the body.  Eating a keto diet raises the risk of increased LDL cholesterol levels and artery blockages as proven through research conducted by the American College of Cardiology. More studies have been conducted which have contributed to the body of knowledge concerning the benefits of eating a plant based diet where climate change is a pri

The new meatless steak by Beyond Meat is a hot item.  I can count at least two times where I intended to purchase Beyond Meat’s new meatless steak and it was completely out of stock in both stores.  I am going to give you the real deal nitty gritty about Beyond Steak.   When I first heard about Beyond Meat’s new steak and looked at a picture of the package, I thought, “hmmmm….will this be similar to the taste of Gardein’s beefless tips?" They do look kind of similar to each other.  Even though I have used Gardein’s beefless steak in various recipes, I’m not sold out about the taste.  That product has somewhat of a cardboard taste (not gonna lie)!  When I finally got my hands on Beyond Meat’s Steak courtesy of Amazon Fresh, I instantly thought about the recipe that I would use it for.  I decided to do a seared mixup with some peppers and onions on top a bed of fluffy rice.  I was pleasantly surprised at how great Beyond Steak tastes as well as how similar the texture is to real ste

When I created B.A.M.F.E.I. last October, I had no idea that a zoonotic virus outbreak would occur within less than two months. This global outbreak is negatively affecting the animal kingdom and the human race. Unfortunately, there isn’t a treatment that can cure it at present. Humankind is experiencing a very specific and important consciousness shift, which began at the ending of 2019. The universe continuously sends messages to those who are receptive and willing to be harbingers of positivity and change. Causes such as B.A.M.F.E.I. are not only important for the lessening of our carbon footprint but also for the health and sustainability of our earth and lifeforms. Coronavirus is a zoonotic disease which means that it is passed from animals to humans through consumption via the gastrointestinal tract. If people were not eating meat or were better educated about animal consumption, individuals that originally received coronavirus via animal meat consumption would not have gotten

It seems as if our current climate crisis kind of just snuck up on us in a ‘holy green moly, what are we going to do’ kind of way?! Green child prophets have even come forward prophesying of the grave dangers that will come upon us if governmental leaders do not begin creating initiatives to counteract climate change. The emotional speeches, the large, cushy climate conventions and governmental meetings in cities such as New York and Paris have been useful in gathering the masses and creating some measure of awareness within our communities about our climate crisis. But what can we as a collective do now? Now that we’ve done all the talking, all the preaching and proselytizing, action has to be taken to substantially lessen our carbon footprints. We’ve seen cities such as New York and San Francisco, create long-term goals to become carbon neutral by 2040. Large-scale implementations of plans for corporations and cities to become carbon neutral will take several years, decades and
