    When practicing mindful eating, I am more aware of what and how much I am eating.  Reduces overeating.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health More Fruits and Veggies
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How can we start shifting from a meat-focused food culture to a more plant-based one?

    Lobbyist, fast food chains, the UDSA Food pyramid.  Value quick meals.  Harder to eat a veggie meal while driving.

    Michael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?
