"We see cooking as a chore rather than a ritual that keeps our family healthy. We choose the easy way out and feed our children processed junk because we don’t understand how this disconnect affects their health."
Love this, Madison! As "woo" as it might sound, you quite literally are what you eat. Once you realize that, it's obvious that by quickly throwing together cheap ingredients and calling it a meal, you lose out on immense opportunity to nourish yourself and your family. I'm working through this idea more deeply, but part and parcel to sourcing the best ingredients you can find, you also owe it to yourself to prepare any meal you're making to the fullest capacity of the ingredients. The intention you put into the preparation transfers directly to the quality of the meal.
