Food, Inc.

January 17, 2010

This is a must see movie.  Please add it to your “to watch” list! Even though I’ve read the books and I know what’s going on in the food industry (can we even call it “food” anymore?), it is still great to be reminded of how that hamburger or package of meat is really made.

French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano

January 12, 2010

Happy New Year! 🙂

I hope you are all having a wonderful start to 2010.  Goals in mind, ready to take action!

During the holidays, I read a book called “French Women Don’t Get Fat” by Mireille Guiliano.  After many years of trying different ways of eating (vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotic, low fat, low calorie, you name it I did it), I’ve completely changed the way I think about food.  I often think of the times I’ve visited Europe and how completely different they are around food.  They don’t think about it very much, they just eat it!  Meaning, their relationship with food is very different from ours.  We love it, we fear it, we obsess about it, we become obsessed with it, so on and so forth.

Happy Holidays!

Hello and Happy Holidays!

Once again, the holidays have crept up on us! I hope you have been enjoying yourself, avoiding holiday stress, and spending time with loved ones.

“But…organic food is too expensive”

December 6, 2009

Happy Holidays!  The season is here yet once again.

I’ve been eating organic food for about 7 years now.  I started eating organic food when my mom found out she had Multiple Sclerosis and cancer—all within one year.  I quickly changed the way I ate and never looked back.  I don’t know if my dietary/lifestyle habits will prevent future ailments, but I’m going to do the best I can to avoid as many chemicals and pollutants in my diet as well as in my life.
