The Beautiful Life

Let’s Eat Some Real Food

I’ll admit it, I love to read books about food. I just find food so interesting. I used to be incredibly picky, but thanks to my food-loving husband, now I’ll try just about anything once. In the almost nine years that we have been married, I’ve gone from a “Campbell’s Soup Cookbook” kind of girl to a sometime vegetarian to a raw foodie to a local & natural food proponent.

So when James brought home the book, Real Food, from the library last week, we fought over who got to read it first. We were so excited, because it fit in perfectly with the food lifestyle we were aiming for already. Almost everything you eat is locally grown, without chemicals or engineering. Dairy is raw if possible, eggs are fresh, sugar is a special treat. It’s about getting back to how we used to eat–eating “real foods”, not 20th century, industrially-created fake food. Now that’s something I can get behind!

If you are curious about locally grown food, and what’s really in the stuff you buy at the grocery store, it’s definitely worth reading. It may even change the way you eat!

*Note, there are several references to evolution, so for those of you who are sensitive to that, just skip over those parts.
