Nutrition, Wild Life Awareness

Eating Like the Wild: Plant-Based Nutrition Inspired by Herbivore Wisdom

Estimated read time: 2 minutes

Watch a rabbit in your garden and you’ll notice something remarkable… it doesn’t stress about meal planning, count calories, or feel guilty about food choices.

Wild herbivores have mastered intuitive eating, offering us profound lessons about nourishment and satisfaction.

Nature’s Nutritional Wisdom

Wild herbivores follow three key principles that revolutionize how we think about eating:

Seasonal Variety: Deer don’t eat the same plants year-round. They naturally rotate their diet based on what’s available, ensuring diverse nutrition and preventing digestive boredom.

Mindful Consumption: Notice how slowly herbivores chew. This thorough processing aids digestion and triggers natural satiety signals—something we often miss when eating quickly.

Fresh Focus: Wild animals instinctively choose the freshest, most vital plants available. They can sense nutritional quality in ways we’ve forgotten.

Your Herbivore-Inspired Eating Plan

Morning Grazing: Like rabbits who eat most actively at dawn… front-load your day with fresh fruits and vegetables when your digestive fire is strongest.

Seasonal Rotation: Change your staple vegetables every few weeks, mimicking how wild animals naturally vary their diet with the seasons.

Mindful Chewing: Count 20 chews per bite for one meal daily. This simple practice improves digestion and helps you recognize true hunger and fullness.

Fresh First: When grocery shopping, choose the freshest produce available. Trust your senses like wild animals do—avoid anything that doesn’t look, smell, or feel vibrant.

The Wildlife Connection

Every plant-based meal you enjoy supports the ecosystems that wild herbivores depend on. Industrial animal agriculture destroys more wildlife habitat than any other human activity. In contrast, plant-based eating helps preserve wild spaces our animal neighbors need to thrive.

This Week’s Challenge

Visit a local farmers market or pick one new seasonal vegetable to try. Eat slowly and mindfully, imagining the wild animals who enjoy similar plants in nature!

Jasmine Rice Recipe

Corie Muldoon

Hey y’all!

Today’s the day I upload my simple jasmine rice recipe.

Rice is a staple in my diet and learning how to cook it quickly and efficiently goes a long way.

Soooo… let’s get rice into it!

Supplies

Jasmine rice
(check that this is the only ingredient on the packaging)

1 pot

1 wooden spoon

Instructions

Step 1: Fill up a pot with water.

For every cup of rice you want to make, add in 1.5 cups of water.

The ratio looks like this… 1:1.5 1 cup of rice, 1.5 cups of water.

To get the amount of water needed quickly, multiple the number of cups you’re making by 1.5 – cool now that we’re clear on the specifics…

Step 2: Add in some oil, and any desired seasonings.

Step 3: Lid your pot.

Step 4: Bring water to a boil using high heat.

Step 5: Once water is boiling, add in your rice. Stir.

Step 6: Keep the burner on high heat.

Step 7: Partially lid your pot.

Step 8: Be patient and let the water boil out without touching the rice.

Step 9: Once you cannot visibly see or hear water, use a wooden spoon to turn the rice (clockwise direction around the edge) bringing the bottom rice toward the top. I call this fluffing.

Step 10: Fully lid your pot. Allow the rice to cook for a few minutes longer on low heat.

Step 11: Taste test and turn off your burner when the texture is where you want it.

Step 12: Let cool, plate, and enjoy.
