“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarians.”
--Paul McCartney
What you eat either feeds disease or heals. Your choice.
By eating a variety of plants (mainly vegetables, fruits, legumes, and
whole grains), you are healing yourself, especially when you choose organically
grown foods.
Plant-based eating is a delightful way to support local farmers, learn to create new dishes for family and
friends to enjoy, and eat food because it makes you feel great and doesn’t
leave knots in your stomach, as often happens from consuming meat, due to
delayed digestive times.
Take a week and think about small changes you can make to what you eat every day to shift to plant-based eating. At the end of a week, stop
eating all animal products for a month. Avoid processed foods, especially those with ingredients you can't pronounce. Record the changes in how you feel, sleep, think. Give it a shot and be amazed. Heal to be healthy.
What you eat matters. For your health and the health of
your children. For our minds, bodies, and spirit. For the health of our planet.
