Time Magazine article The Real Cost of Cheap Food

This weeks Time Magazine Article is titled The Real Cost Of Cheap Food.

The article makes it so very clear as to what we are doing to ourselves, our animals and our environment by continuing to eat cheap,  conventional food. We are wearing blinders if we continue along our path in the same way without looking around and understanding what we are causing. The question people put to themselves is can I one person make a difference? Yes every single action of each of us truly matters. Please read it, act upon it by at least being conscious or shall we say mindful of what our choices are. Big steps are great, small ones that are sustainable even better, slowly we will change and awaken. Lets start asking where our beef comes from lets ask for organic, natural or grass fed beef at your regular supermarket so the inventory grows. We as communities force changes. Each single one of us. If you are going out for mexican use a chain like Chipotle who is supporting this movement.  Maybe we can't all afford Niman beef but if we ask for grassfed sooner or later we will start the growth of more grassfed product. Another great option of course is to realize no one needs 8 oz of beef with their meal. Have your butcher make 4 oz portions and fill your plate with veggies and grains. Your plate will be beautiful, your body slimmer, your blood pressure and cholesterol lower, and your skin more beautiful as you continously add more colorful fruits and vegetables to your diet. Come on America we can do this!!     xo Ginny
