Day 16 of #bloganuary…Today’s prompt ….What is a cause you’re passionate about and why?
One word:- FOOD!
Is that all I hear you ask -smile-
I am a fanatic about clean food and sustainability, food without chemicals and food which doesn’t have a massive environmental footprint…
My wish is that people would count chemicals instead of calories and cost…Yes, the cost is a factor for many of us and although I will never be vegan or vegetarian as I believe we should eat a varied diet to maintain optimum health…we should be looking at eating less meat and more plant-based foods and that will cut the cost and improve our health.
So you see “food”…in my world is part of a circle as I believe food and the environment go hand in hand…There is a much bigger picture and we should all be aware of that…
Health services around the world are overwhelmed with patients who have non-contagious lifestyle diseases which stem from eating too many processed foods which are high in salt, sugar and chemicals…
Dentists are seeing children whose first teeth are rotten because of the sugar in their diets…I could on but if you are still reading I’m sure you get the picture…we are what we eat is very true as are many of the lifestyle diseases…
I play my part by ensuring that we grow as much as we can and that I only buy food that is in season and from sustainable sources…cooking from scratch means that we avoid chemicals and unnecessary sugars and salt in our food.
This post is part of the WordPress Bloganuary Challenge 2022 where everyone is provided with a writing prompt each day. Today’s prompt was to write about What is a cause you’re passionate about and why?
The perfect post for you Carol. Food. ❤

I agree with you completely – shop the outer lanes of the grocery store – try and buy locally produced meats and produce and cook at home. Have you ever noticed home-cooked meals, cooked from scratch fill you up so much quickly than the fast food and the restaurant meals?

Yes they do have more substance than most ready meals… Plus we can cook more for a lower cost then maybe freeze or refrigerate some portions for another day.. A win win all round 😁

I have been a supporter of the RNLI since I was in my 20s. Most of the lifeboat people are volunteers, and do a dangerous job for no pay. And as I cannot swim, I respect their courage even more.
Best wishes, Pete.

A good cause to be passionate about. We are what we eat. Many eat rubbish and must wonder why they’re always at the doctor’s surgery.

I agree absolutely, Stevie I don’t know what it would take for people to just realise that what they are eating is part of their problem ….
