The Food Industries Dirty Little Secrets

I care about where my food comes from, I didn't always...but, times, they are a changin' and I think we all need to make an effort to eat healthier. We buy locally, shop organically, and investigate what we are eating. Reading labels may at first, seem like a major pain in the ass, but once you are armed with the power of understanding, it is super easy, and empowering. The more you learn about your food, the more you understand about nutrition and lead a healthier lifestyle. WE have the power to change how the industry is dealing food to us...how the FDA shells out crap that we eat everyday...we need to change what we are feeding to our children, GOOD LOCAL foods should be first choice, not an option. Chipotle is hosting a free showing of Food Inc. and if you are interested in seeing it, you can find out where it is showing here.

And for those interested in shopping locally, Farmers Markets are the way to go, no stress heading through the supermarket aisles, no rush of shoppers....just good food and good people...it's a joy to go shopping, and it's fun for the kids too.
