One of the first steps in realizing green living is to monitor what we place in our mouths or in other words what we eat and drink. It used to be that that was an afterthought at best, but nowadays with the fertilizer and pesticides that are used in growing fruits and vegetables, not to mention the preservatives, the thought about what we eat needs to become primary in our thinking.
If you are fortunate enough to live by a farmer’s market or health store that sells organic food, thank your lucky stars. Not everyone will qualify for that. However, perhaps it is worth a fifteen or twenty minute drive farther to visit that whole foods market. You will relish the organic fruits and vegetables when you bite into them. And after all, isn’t our health our number one concern? Shouldn’t it be?
To find the nearest farmers market in your area, you can visit www.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarket for a list of stores nearby. If you are out of the country, please research or ask a friend. The effort will surely pay off in health dividends. Organic farms are required to use organic compost and soil amendments. Moreover, if you already eat organic, you know that organic tastes a whole lot better as well. I will never forget the first organic apple I bit into–it tasted SO MUCH better than the store bought I had been used to.
More on eating organic later, but this is surely one of the best decisions you can make to improve your life. Support family-owned farmers markets and enjoy the green life!
