And about the need to eat more plants, and fewer animals and their products.<\/strong> Here, I\u2019ll show how I <strong>approach this in a practical and realistic way<\/strong>. I do hope that you\u2019ll find useful and relevant information here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why in the form of a website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons for my reluctance to get started with this is my growing aversion, over the years, to social media, particularly Instagram. We live in times where just about anyone feels the need to throw whatever they think at as many people as possible. <strong>The whole of social media is an industry built on the systematic theft of our attention. And on top of that, of our personal data.<\/strong>  And all this information is presented \u2013 preferably at breakneck speed \u2013 as if everything were urgent, important and constantly contentious. Because it\u2019s no longer about the information itself, its accuracy, its usefulness or its relevance. It\u2019s solely about the pathological quest for attention. And every possible means is employed to achieve this, including the creation of fake accounts that are 100% AI-generated. People spend many hours enslaved by the endless stream of rubbish information that keeps their brains constantly in fight-or-flight mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t be a slave to your smartphone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems as though you no longer come across anyone on the street or elsewhere whose gaze isn\u2019t fixed on their smartphone\u2019s tiny screen. Phones are walking down the street, with people attached to them. Those people no longer notice what is happening in their physical surroundings. That is the sad reality of smartphone addiction. And that is why I have consciously chosen an old-fashioned website. You might come across it if you are actively seeking, of your own accord, specific information that is relevant to you and your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yes, it still makes sense.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, should I really still be investing time and energy in sharing information about a plant-based lifestyle? After much consideration, the answer is still: yes, it makes sense. After all, there\u2019s still a great deal of misinformation circulating about plant-based eating. And, sadly, there are still oceans of ignorance amongst the general public regarding the importance of reducing the consumption of meat and animal products. The subject is more pressing than ever and continues to gain in importance. The more reliable sources there are, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A website for conscious seekers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t need to preach or convert anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of writing, I\u2019ve had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogakitchen.be\/en\">a website about yoga and plant-based eating<\/a> for thirteen years now.  However, the information about plant-based eating doesn\u2019t really come into its own there. People find that site because of the yoga. I hope that with this new website I can focus my efforts more effectively. And I hope that more people who are curious and genuinely interested in the benefits of a plant-based diet will find the information more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that you, the visitor to this site, will be able to derive as many benefits and as much value as possible from the time you spend here. And I\u2019m also open to tips and suggestions to further improve your experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear visitor, welcome to this website dedicated to plant-based food.
