Food to Live

It's been a long minute since I have blogged and for good reason. I really don't want to blog just to blog because words get lost in the meaning. Today just felt right! For the past week I have been thrashed with various mediums about food and how our choices affect us. Now some might say duhh! But hell, I pride myself on eating healthy, yet I realize I still have so much more to learn and change. But the great part is that I am eager to do it. Here are my recommendations, if this doesn't inspire you, make you cry, and really contemplate your choices I don't know what will:

Changes in eating can seem overwhelming when you think about all you have to watch: organic, labels, ingredients, pesticides, BPA, etc. Its most important to start SOMEWHERE, small changes make the difference. They say it takes 2 weeks to make something a habit, so choose one thing, do it for 2 wks, and move on to the next thing. We are eating to live remeber that. Today I chose to make these changes:

1. Buy more organic, local, farm products
2. Go to u-pick non pesticide ridden farm this summer
3. Find a way to get my children to eat from the earth
4. Get ride of processed foods in the house
