Simplifying nutrition and using food as medicine - one bite at a time.

My goal with this blog is to set folks straight about what good nutrition really is! Starting by discarding the info we get every day from 'sponsors' that do not really have our best interests at heart, I want to inspire you to eat better AND realize it is much easier than you thought it would be!

Just about any health issues can be addressed with nutrition (and meditation), from mild to chronic to acute. We truly have the ability to heal ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually...

And you can use your daily routine as your vehicle to drive that change :)

"When food, in the minds of eaters, is no longer associated with farming and with the land, then the eaters are suffering a kind of cultural amnesia that is misleading and dangerous"

Where does a person start?

Hello friends and fellow foodies,
I am back (I never left, just spending too much time on Facebook!) to share some great info with you...

Eating healthfully can seem overwhelming at times, right?  The amount of info out there is mind-boggling how do you know what to believe?  So much of it is bogus information too - coming straight to your favourite magazine or newspaper from an industry-funded study or marketing firm (neither of which is driven by concern with you or your families health).

So where does a well-meaning consumer start?  How do we get back on track?

I just read this amazing report on Occupy Monsanto's website and think it is wonderful and comprehensive and succint.

This is a wonderful place to start!  Happy reading...
