"Do you eat eggs?"

Start talking about food or healthy eating and in no time you get the "Do you eat..." questions. It is almost like talking about spiritual things. People ask " Do you believe...", trying to pin you down to the one comment that will give them a sure out.

I've asked those questions too. It's time to change the perspective.

Being conscience of my health is all about what I do eat. We need certain nutrients daily to keep our amazing body machine working and growing properly. When we become aware of truly feeding ourselves, nourishing our blood, bones and cells, the idea of putting a fake substance in seems ludicrous. The occasional treat is one thing but to feed on trash, to exist on chemicals and processed "foods" does not fit in the equation.

Our world is full of beautiful, delicious, bundles of nutrients. The colorful goodness of yams, beets, collard greens and blueberries cannot be duplicated by some foreign substance. Plants trap and convert the sun's abundant energy just for us! Through plants all creatures get their breath and their food. Do I eat eggs? Come taste and explore what I live on. That question will answer itself.
