Food Matters

Food is elemental to all living creatures. Eat, is the first thing we seek to do after we take our first breath of earthly air. And eat we shall do, on all the days of our lives thereafter. To eat, is to have a relationship with our planet, the source of our food. It is also to have a relationship with each other, when we cook for each other and eat together.

The food we eat and how we eat it, is a manifestation of both these relationships---good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, caring or destructive. When we change what and how we eat, we alter the template of our lives. We rewrite our relationships with each other and our relationship with the earth we live on, at a fundamental level.

This is exactly what is underway right now----serious, insidious changes to our food and the way we eat it, with far-reaching, wide-ranging implications for the environment, for our society and for ourselves.

Blessings on your table!
