(I obvoiusly choose forks over knives…just look at my hand and logo!!) Clever title indeed. If we are eating plant based diet, then we really don’t need to use our knives. Maybe once in a while for that tough skin on squash or to hack through a piece of kale, but overall – keeping our ... [Read more]
