"How do I feed my health?"
Food comprises a significant portion of our lives buying the food, preparing the food, and, of course, eating the food. Consider our ancestors who took even more time with their food, they even had to grow it! We might think we're the lucky ones. Look at all the time we save through our mass production, our pre-packaged frozen entrees and our refining. Now we can eat energy bars and bagels on the run. We can throw a burrito in the microwave and get on to more important activities. We no longer have to plant, till and water and worry about bugs eating our crops. We leave the worrying to someone else!
But are we missing out?
What have we lost at the expense of convenience?
How has the shift in our eating affected our health, our families, our social patterns?
Imagine for a moment the food you eat enhancing your life; imagine it becoming an experience and not just a 'thing to get done.'
Imagine every bite bringing you good health and good relationship and even good parties. (We recommend seeing the movie Babette's Feast if you really want to see good food bringing people together). Imagine your food feeding your body like it was meant to be fed and bringing you vitality and wellness.
