The last week or so I have been on a continual rant about industrialized food and the need to eat organic, local, and more ''better for you'' foods. Well, the rants will continue, but I hope to start moving in the direction of eating organically and locally this Saturday with a visit to the opening Saturday of the Foothill's Farmers' Market in Uptown Shelby, North Carolina.
I love a Farmers' Market and I am excited about starting to visit the Foothill's Farmers' Market and getting locally grown vegetables, meats, eggs, and other yummy food items. It's exciting because this year the Farmers' Market adopted some new policies that require their farmers to produce items in herbicide and pesticide free environments. I also hope to find local grass-fed beef and local chicken.
I really want to stop eating overly processed or industrialized foods. It is more expensive and it will take some effort and creativity (and I'll never be able to fully escape modified and manipulated foods...I don't have a farm of my own for instance), but I hope I can start doing it!
So, I'll be at the Farmers' Market on Saturday morning...I hope to see you there!
Until Next Time...

It's Weigh In Day!
I did a weigh in this morning and I am happy to report that...
My Weight, as of April 20 is...
307 pounds.
A loss of 1 pound from last week!
So, we are still doing pretty good! I think we will make to below 300 pounds by graduation day, which is very exciting!
On another note...I mentioned the film Food, Inc. last week in a quick discussion of industrialized food (I'll talk more about that on tomorrow's update), BUT for now, I wanted to pass on some fun news I found out about this afternoon from a tweet by Michael Pollan (author of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto). The tweet reads...
Yay! Sooooo...for all of you out there with PBS (which is ALL of you with a television anywhere near you) watch Food, Inc. on Thursday night! Visit PBS's website here for your local listings.
Until Next Time...
