My body felt deep truth when I first heard food author Michael Pollan say, "What happens on our plates is the most profound effect that we have on the natural world."

How often do we stop to think about the ingredients of each bite, including the energetic imprints of the farmers, the food chemists, … [Read more...]

Food Can Be Love

By Leave a Comment

I read a book once that asked the question: "If Jesus or the Buddha came to dinner, what would you serve?" Would you stop at McDonald's for a combo meal? Order a pizza with a side of buffalo wings? Of course not. You would serve the very best food, cooked with love as a sign of respect, in the hopes of pleasing them and making them happy.
