Intentional eating matters to me personally. Even casual observation reveals that many people have concerns and questions about food. I know I do. I research what I can and make my own assessments. Sharing what we believe to be useful information about food is a way to contribute to the broader conversation and help myself and others in the process.
Food is a universal need and can be a universal remedy. Even those who think they don’t have a food problem often do. For millions, food insecurity is a well-known issue.
Providing access to food is key, but so is supplying information. In this information age, nothing is more powerful. We can all participate in this exchange of knowledge, learning from one another as we go.
In the short term, we can save money by preparing meals and enjoy the satisfaction when they turn out well. In the long term, it’s about our health and the condition of our organs—those internal processors we often forget about, quietly working to digest what we eat. Why make their job harder by consuming junk? Instead, let’s choose nourishing, clean foods.
Love your body. Eat with intention.
And to be clear, this doesn’t mean cutting out everything sweet—but a little bit will probably serve you better than a lot!
