Food Matters

We watched this documentary this afternoon.  Interesting for me, especially since my Dad is a doctor.  I am not all  that sure about the vitamin supplements, will need to do a bit of research on that.  But I do agree that we need to be eating more fresh, natural foods.  Rather interesting to hear that cooking makes the food not a nutritious.  We should be eating half cooked & half raw every meal.  So tonight I made a vegetable frittata and then a raw carrot & cucumber each with a few glasses of water.
This journey is an interesting one... the weight is still not disappearing as good as I want.  I think I need to start drinking more water.

Here is the trailer...

Food Glorious Food

I love to cook and I love to have people over for dinner.  Food is a huge part of culture & community.  It seems that in the past few months I have been reading, watching and thinking a lot about food & our bodies.  Here are some of the things that have really got me thinking. Click on the links-- its food for thought!

The vulnerable are unfortunately always exploited and abused.  You will have heard of emotional, sexual & physical abuse, but what about food abuse??
From Oliver Twist' tasteless and insufficient tale of food, and now today's fatty, processed rubbish, children and adults are not getting a fair chance.
Today's problem is mainly through a lack of education. Knowledge is power, and ignorance keeps people in the dark & under control.
I want to be a part of the food revolution.
I want to get myself & family eating healthily, and exercising regularly.
I want to grow or buy seasonal fresh fruit & vegetables, and produce our own meat.
I want to help educate my community so they have the choice to do the same.
