@Jannie: That’s funny Jannie! Keep up with the greens, and just enjoy the journey.

@Liara: Fruit and veggies definitely do resonate high vibrations, and increasing their place in my diet has had big impacts on my whole life. Woohoo for inspiring some home gardening.

I will definitely be checking out your blog, Nathalie
and it’s great to be back on yours, Lance ~ I’ve missed you!

@Jewel: Yeah! Savoring your food, and not just taking it for granted. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Food markets are certainly fun too.

@Sara: Thanks so much for sharing your perspective on the difference between countries. You’re so right! When I was traveling in Italy, there was a definitely emphasis on freshness. I think every place has a “foodie” atmosphere, but the focus just shifts from place to place.

@Laurie: No worries about admitting your age. We’re all here to support each other, and if you don’t have vegan in ya – that’s no problem. I really found one of the keys to feeling better is to remove processed sugars and starches, meat is sort of borderline. (Though over time, I’ve really lost my taste for it.)

@Diane: Aww, thanks so much for your kind comments. Mindful eating is what it’s all about though isn’t it?

@Tom: Yes! I used to eat with my head in a book (or glued to a screen, either TV or computer) a lot. But now things are different and I can enjoy my food so much more. You’re so right that by adding certain things to your diet, you automatically make less room for others (like meat). Way to go Tom!

Thanks so much!

Nathalie — This post made me do a lot of thinking about how I eat. I have been eating better; more fruits and nuts, but I can’t quite up meat yet. I do limit it more now, but it’s a slow withdrawal:~)

It’s interesting how food choices differ by country. When I recently visited Switzerland, almost all the food is fresh. The taste was fantastic. My daughter, who lives in London, is into organic food and she’s able to find it easily, but then London a BIG city.

Where I live, it’s not so easy. When Dairy Queen is still a favorite restaurant, good organic and unprocessed foods can be difficult to find. I enjoyed your post very much:~)

I was actually just about to break for lunch. This post reminds me to savor and not just eat food. In the Philippines where I grew up, I loved going to the outside markets, and just look around.

Thanks for the inspiration and have a great weekend!!

My second daughter is a vegetarian. I was just talking to her about “missing” meat. She told me the only time she even thinks about it is at various family gathering, like Thanksgiving. But, the family totally supports her choice, so we always provide an alternative for her.

Food is very personal, but understanding everyone’s needs is a key ingredient.

@Jennifer: Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your concerns and ideas Jennifer. Organic is expensive, but I tend to look at it from an investment point of view. You are worth that kind of investment.
