The issue of food has been coming up a lot lately so I thought I would give some resources and suggestions. Nothing we do has a greater impact on our health and the environment as the food choices we make. From what we eat, to where we buy it from, and whether it's filled with harsh chemicals, genetically modified, fair trade, or organic --all makes a difference on our health and that of our local economy and the environment.
This is tricky because food is such a sensitive topic that covers a broad range of issues along the lines of economics, personal preference, environment, health, and animal welfare, etc. When we educate ourselves and really see things as they are on this issue we will all begin to make great decisions for us and our families that work for where we are along all those issues.
Rather than preach about it (which is what I feel I have been doing lately) I'd like to ask that all of you who read this blog start looking in to this issue more closely. It seems that if we are doing this deeper work of yoga to make ourselves healthier then it would be fair to take a look at our food choices and the impact our choices have on the world around us.
