Mind Your Peas & Food

Mind Your Peas & Food Services for mindful food, eating & health in an era of ethical and sustainable food. Ever heard the phrase 'Mind your Ps and Qs'? And don't forget eating.

A little history for you...

Printing apprentices had to mindful of their 'p' and 'q' placement because an upside down 'q' likes like 'p'. Second, pubs kept tally of their patron's drinks by using 'p' for 'pint' and q for 'quart'. But for most of us, hearing this meant be mindful of your 'please' and 'thank-you'. By now you're wondering how on earth this has anything to do with food and nutrition? First, we all eat but often we do so mindlessly. We need to learn to keep a 'tally' on our food to be sure we eat what we need and eat to boost our health. Second, we all make mistakes in how we eat, and often these are very minor. Food and nutrition literacy is an important vice to help you understand food origins, what makes sense to eat for your health, and why we need to be mindful consumers in the 21st century of sustainability. And last, we are all in need of food manners and etiquette. Good and nutritious food requires careful handling to give you fulfillment and health. Eating in a hurry, disconnected from the meal ritual and distracted by constantly being 'plugged in' in no way demonstrates good food manners and etiquette. Let me help you tally your food, enhance your food and nutrition literacy and reclaim your food manners. You'll be minding your peas and food and loving every minute of it!

I've always supported the notion that the bigger picture issue with GMO's concerns Big Ag, it's affect on our environment, climate and health, and its influence on the Hill. Good to see a balanced and bigger picture discussion (and book) on this.

Don't fear the GMO. There's something else much more worrisome, this author says.
