I believe that local organic food (produce, meat, dairy) is the best food you can eat.
I believe that food is one of the biggest factors in our health and well being.
I believe that processed food is full of chemicals and preservatives that are killing us.
I believe that you can prepare a meal at home with good quality ingredients for less money than you would spend at the fast food joint or in the freezer section of your local 'food' mart.
I understand that local organic food is not always easy to find.
I understand that for a number of years here in America the media hype has been preaching fast, easy, time saving and pre packaged.
I understand that life is busy and messy and stressful.
I hope that good quality, local and or organic food becomes the 'norm' and more easily accessible to all of us.
I hope that it becomes easier to learn about food, cooking and health.
I hope the media hype really picks up on the changes that are going on and starts to promote a more conscious and healthy way of living.
I personally am on the journey of changing how I live and do things. It's a journey in progress.
Loved this post. Agree with you on everything, we are killing ourselves and the planet.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully put.
ReplyDeleteIn Australia, there is a growing movement to create kitchen gardens in primary schools (5 - 12 y.o.) where the kids care for the gardens and then learn how to prepare meals with the produce.
So, I think the message is getting out there...
Keep the faith!
