Dancing Rabbit Eco Village pt2
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 2 Feb 2017
Its been a long time in the making but I have finally put together all of my clips from visiting Dancing Rabbit Eco Village located near Rutledge Missouri. We went there almost 3 years ago and this is just one of the 4 sustainable communities we have visited in the last 5 years. Dancing Rabbit also known to the locals as DR has been established since 1997 on 280 acres of land in the rolling hills of northeastern Missouri. They have solar panels, rain water collection, gardens, even their own local currency. They have built natural and green homes, use sun and wind for power, and cooperatively-own vehicles on renewable electricity or bio diesel.
I believe there were around 60 members when my husband and I visited a few years back and they strive to be a small community of 500 to 1000 people. DR was by far my favorite off-grid community that we visited. And I believe this is the way we need to begin living before it is too late and we destroy the earth with our horrible, greedy lifestyle choices. We are killing the earth at a rapid rate and we need to live easier on mother nature before future generations have no earth to live on. A smart man once told me you must pave the way with a machete before others will follow. This is what sustainable communities around the world are now in the process of.
Here is a couple of links to their videos so you can learn more about DR if you wish

Come join me each week for great meal ideas, affordable grocery bills, and a sustainable lifestyle. Watch as I transform my health and reach towards my fitness goals, all in the effort to become my greatest version. Inspiring and helping others on their journey through sharing my story and whats worked for me. I have lost weight and cured myself of having type 2 diabetes during pregnancy. Throughout 3 pregnancies I did not eat the best food, but the first two I had GD (gestational diabetes)and the last one I did not. The only difference was that I had adopted a plant based lifestyle before my 3rd pregnancy. I still ate what was considered "vegan junk food" like Oreos,potato chips, greasy french fries. And PIZZA! OMG cant forget the vegan pizza! So delicious and yet, just as detrimental to your health if you are eating it most the time like I was. Since I gave birth now I have gone 100% starch based. And its the best decision yet. I have lost 50 pounds so far with this lifestyle change and I intend to continue this Journey to health and fitness through a healthy plant based diet. I also demonstrate what I feed my over 6 foot tall, 200+ pound husband on a vegan diet and my toddler for all their nutritional needs. I too was a S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) eater for my entire life until this last couple of years. It has changed my life dramatically and has opened my eyes to the injustice we are doing to animals and the planet itself.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.We are destroying the planet at a phenomenal rate because of our meat eating lifestyles. Factory farming is responsible for more green house gases then all transportation combined. It is responsible for deforestation, water waste, and starvation on the planet. We could end world hunger if we stopped feeding grains to animals and turned it into food for humans. Our way of living in the western world has made it impossible for others to thrive. Please stop being so damn selfish in your food choices and look at the impact it is having on your health, your families health, and most of all the planet. Because without a planet to live in we will not have to worry about your health. You will be dead and so will every other living being on the planet, unless we change this horrible cycle of animal product consumption. Your diet choices are not a personal decision, they are having an impact on the entire planet.

Please do the research yourself and learn about nutrition for your health and the health of your family. Do not take my word for it, go and find out for yourself the truth about your food and where it comes from. And the impacts it has on your health and illnesses that plague our world today.
