Yesterday I watched the documentary called Food Inc. The film opens with the statement: “The way we eat has changed more over the last fifty years than in the previous ten thousand.”
As I mentioned recently, we are starting to consider more thoughtfully what food we are putting into our bodies. What does this mean on a practical basis? It means less processed food, more real food, no fast food, more good food. It means cooking from scratch more and trying new recipes that incorporate a greater variety of foods. And of course, it means reading food labels! At the same time, we are still on a tight budget, so it means spending the same (or less) than we have been.
Some things that have inspired us:
– 12 Best Foods Cookbook (mentioned in this post)
– Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution (watch it on YouTube)
– Jamie’s Food Revolution (cookbook – borrowed from the library)
– Food Inc. documentary (watch it on Netflicks)
– 100 Days of Real Food (blog)
So I want to hear from you…
– Have you made any food choices for your family for health reasons (other than allergies)?
– Do you eat processed foods? Only real foods? (Real food defined here)
– What do you think about organic food?
– Do you completely avoid certain things, such as refined sugar or meat?
– Do you have any tips for staying within budget while still eating healthy?
Looking forward to a great discussion!
