Welcome to issue 39 of our newsletter!
Did you catch last month’s client testimonial? It was a great letter about the futility of seeking Real Food at a local diner (vs. the Fake version served up in most restaurants). And it stirred many of you to write in. I really appreciate folks sharing their own restaurant “Wake-Up Call” stories.
Clearly we are faced more and more often with the need to make deliberate choices to eat On Purpose. Sometimes the truth hits us like a Cool-Whip pie in the face: the default food for Americans has increasingly become highly-processed, chemical-laden, “edible, food-like substances”. But the good news is that our options are expanding! I am excited every time I encounter a thriving new farmer’s market, CSA, organic local farm, or clean, whole-food based product. There is a rapidly growing and receptive market out there.
And I can’t wait to tell you what I found during my fabulous trip to Blackberry Ridge in August! This month I continue the Real Food theme and share some thoughts on eating meats and other animal foods – on purpose. Can animal foods really be a sustainable part of our diet? I believe the answer is yes!
Be well,
