Over the past few years my goal for my family is to get us off of processed foods and onto a whole foods diet. I have thought of the extreme of making my family of four going vegan and have found that I need to find a balance. I hope to find that balance once I have a garden of my own.
My mother has 2 acres and I was hoping to utilize her land to grow food for my family but it turned out to be a difficult task to drive 20 miles out of my way a few times a week to tend and harvest my crops. I have watched movie and movie and read book after book and am still convinced that this is what I need to do.
But I also think we need to make our vote at the grocery store with what we purchase. I am going to try over the next few months to re-educate myself (and plan and have a wedding) on food. I am currently watching a movie called Fresh. It is opening my eyes once again to where I need to get to.
Grow your food and know your food... that will be my family's motto.
