Over the past few weeks I feel we have learned a lot, not just from reading and studying, but from each other too.
Last week Roger wrote about overall body fitness and the need to keep moving, especially as you get older. I saw an article on Michelle Obama’s initiative to fight child obesity in the US, one of her first aims is to have unhealthy processed foods removed from school cafeterias. Educating children on healthy eating as early as possible is paramount to stop bad habits forming, which will ultimately lead to ill health and possibly diabetes.
Michaela talked about making decisions and our Locus of control. Do we accept that our decisions have an effect on the world? Now that we have been following a whole food diet for over a month and only eating meat if it is free range, we have found ourselves more committed to ensuring our decisions do not encourage inhumane farming of animals and that whenever available only choose local produce to ensure we are supporting local producers. It has actually been a lot easier than we first thought. The phase “You are what you eat” has a lot more meaning to us now, and processed, artificial food is not what we want to be.
An old song that has been going around inside my head over the past week, “Proud” by Heather Small. What have you done today to make you feel proud? I know what I’ve done; what have you done?
