REFLECTION QUESTION

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?

To me it means we have to start being proactive in our desire to preserve the environment and ourselves rather than reactive.

How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

I have had several people that have come back to me later in life and mentioned something positive I said about them in the past and how that had turned their day around. If something so small as to acknowledge your gratitude for someone helping you out makes that kind of impact....think of how the world would be if we all did it!

Food Weekly Meal Planning

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

I would rather use the money to clean up our oceans.

What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

I was raised in a "meat and potatoes" environment growing up. As I got older, my perception was that the "potatoes" or carbs weren't good for you and were the equivalent of eating sugar. They also were the first to burn off and you were left feeling hungry sooner than if you ate meat or protein. Vegetables were always just a "side" and never the star of any meal, in fact, I avoided them. People eat out so frequently now I've noticed that a lot of restaurants now offer meatless meals. I think this is a very good shift.
