Start Somewhere

Remember it’s a process. Beware the pitfalls. But get started. SOMEWHERE. Here are some suggestions…

Make it simple. No Cost Places to Start:

• Say thanks for the food I eat and the farmers and land that grew it.
• Slow down when I eat. CHEW! Make my gut happy! Breaking food down with my jaw helps the gut sort the nutrients from the garbage.
• Save money. Replace one soda with tap or filtered water. I am more than 50% water. Give me some.
• Sit. Be quiet. (And it might need to be more than 5 seconds!) Ask my body, “Where should I start?” Ultimately, I have the answers. Am I listening?
• Recruit a friend, neighbor, a co-worker to join the journey. It’s easier and more fun when I am not alone.
• Visit the library. Having a library card probably makes all the resources mentioned on this website, available for free!
• Learn about others who have made a food change

Some Cost Places to Start

• Buy a packet of seeds and plant it. Growing my own food can save massive amounts of money, dramatically increase the nutritional value of the food I eat and be an incredible blessing to planet earth.
• Experiment! Buy one new food from the produce section and eat it!
• Visit a farmer’s market. ‘Fess up. Tell them, “I don’t know nothin’!” Ask, “What the heck is that? How do I eat it?” I may even get wonderful answers from the other shoppers. Find a market.
• Or, join a CSA Farm (Community Supported Agriculture).
• Add one real food to your diet, and take one processed food out of your routine. Repeat that again and again
