Strange question right or is it? Have you actually thought about where your food comes from and the process it takes to get to the supermarket shelf. How fresh is the food you are buying? Well if you had not thought about it perhaps you should, I recently have. Think about this where is your food traveling from and then how long is it sitting on the supermarket shelf before you take it home. Let’s say you live in Pennsylvania and you produce is coming from New Jersey, not to far right, could probably get there in a day. Now lets say you live in California and your produce is coming from New Jersey, what are they doing to the produce to preserve it for such a long journey, so that it will still look fresh when it gets to the market for you.

Now lets say none of that matters to you, cool! Ponder this, whatever they are doing to that produce to preserve for the journey, whereever it is coming from, it is going into you body. Even if you wash it off, some will still be on there. Lets go a little deeper, have you heard of genetically modified foods, do you care, maybe, maybe not. They put the insecticide in the seed, so guess what, you can’t wash that off, but you will eat the stuff. Now if you saw my other post about loving yourself and those closest to you, then is this what you want going into your body or the body of the ones you love.

Look at it this way, in life you have choices, and you have to do what brings you joy and fulfillment or not, you can live in misery, if you choose. If you have to option to live in optimal health and can enjoy life. If you have the opportunity to take joy in those around, to love yourself, and to revel in those activites you adore, why not take that chance. Take the time to soak in each moment on this journey and do it with energy-giving vitality!

Live, Eat, Love
