In America, food and nutrition have become such a popular topic. Along with the birth of food-TV, a regular trip to the grocery store reflects the changes that are taking place on the shelves and to our plates- which are now so carefully scrutinized by health, nutrition and food industry experts.

Movies such as Food Inc., Forks Over Knives and What’s Organic About Organic, clearly addressed the odds that are against the American diet as a whole. We are all understanding the value of food and the power it has to determine our physical fate.

Mindful eating- can be noted as a ‘trend’ to some, but it is something that can potential(ly)   help us to adopt better and healthier eating habits. It’s free and anyone can cultivate this practice.

By taking the time to pay attention to what we and our family members are eating, we can help curb cravings, potentially reduce our consumption, and begin to be more thoughtful of what we are putting into our bodies. I believe it is time to slow down and begin to truly enjoy what we eat!
