A green spirit to match your diet


The book Dharma Punx is what we all need to make our souls green to align with our organic diets and eco-friendly attitudes toward the enviornment. I wanted to stray from my usual topic of healthy eating and fous on a healthy psyche.

Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx, tells his life story and how he went from being a junkie on the streets to a veagan and well-known Budhhist medatation leader.

I recently saw Levine speak at Project Moore high school in Tucson, Ariz.

Covered from head-to-toe in tattoos Levine sat in front of a crowd of kids that are at the last-chance high school and spoke about the harsh realities of life and what drug use did to him.

Levine radiates inner peace and the students picked up on that. His words were encouraging and he seems to lead the ultimate green lifestyle.

All this got me thinking there is so much emphasis on keeping our nutrition green, well what about our dharma?

Check out the book an in the words of Noah Levine, "Serve the truth, defy the lies."
