Save The World With Your Food

First in a series of who knows how many.

There are so many facets to food and how important it is to our body, mind and soul.

We've offered it to our gods, we pray for "manna from heaven", we've written about it, talk about it constantly, think about it, and watch shows about it. We use food to celebrate and to mourn, in acts of faith and defiance.

In the not so recent past, food was not only a source of nourishment, but a true connection to the Earth and the Divine. However, just as with so many other aspects of our culture, we have lost our respect for it and have exploited it to our fullest detriment.

I'm not saying every morsel should be a divine experience, or that an epiphany occur at every meal. But taking food for granted is no long an option. By taking a simple, straight-forard approach over the course of a year will make any degree of transition back to respecting food far easier.

Since each facet of our food and nutrition is interlinked with each other, there is no specific starting or ending point. I've broken the subject down into 5 categories:
Eating Out
Eating In
How to Eat
Growing Your Own Food
Preserving Your Own Food

Each of these topics has several subtopics to show how easy it is to make a difference within your daily life and making a difference in the world.

I am also sure I will be editing this entire series ad nauseum. LOL -
