The Raw Truth About Healthy Eating

In thinking about a blog post for the week, I came across this one this morning….it speaks the truth about the value and work that goes into healthy eating, and why we should embrace the time and effort that it takes to treasure and treat ourselves right. There are no short cuts, there are no quick fixes. As this writer so eloquently states, “Healthy eating is a value, not a trend. It takes time, patience and practice, and a pinch of dedication to master it.” Healthy eating is a way of life, not a temporary state. And cooking is an investment in your health and the health of your family. As Michael Pollan has said, “Cooking is the single most important thing we could do as a family to improve our health and general well being.” Thanks to Simplicious Food for the inspiration today.
