National Food Day seeks to create awareness for real, healthy and affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way. Doctor Peters and I are so passionate about helping to push for this ideal because we both know that we are personal and planetary health is so interconnected with the health of the food system.
Today is a great day to celebrate moving towards more sustainable ways of eating by giving consideration to these 6 Food Day Principles. Scroll down to the end and take a l0ok at the Meatless Monday recipe I intend to serve Doc Peters and my son tonight,too.
