A revelation.
Do you know where your food comes from? Did you know that America spends the least amount of money per capita on food than any other industrialized country?
There are a few things in my life that I've felt strongly about. The love for my husband. The love of God - it binds me. The joy I receive from family. I've also felt strongly about leaving a legacy. About caring, as the Iroquois Nation would put it: the Seventh Generation.
Why are we so supportive of famous athletes and movie stars but not the farmers and ranchers who craft our food? My God. My heart breaks to know that they are losing a very large battle.
Can it be changed? I pray so.
We have begun a journey to recapture our health; to savor our foods and know where they come from. To be a part of the process and to champion around those who toil. The results are stunning. Fresh blood orange and kale salad with a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. Beef with a balsamic vegetable reduction. Let the journey begin.
