Tip of the Day - Eat Differently
Posted on April 9, 2008 by
Today’s tip from National Public Health Week - Climate Change: Our Health in the Balance is Eat Differently.
Unless, of course, you’ve already been eating local, organic, checking labels, and participating in Meat-free Mondays. Then, keep eating just as you have been, because for you to eat differently would probably involve a trip to McDonalds.
But, if you need to make more of an effort to make your meals greener, please read the hints and tips on the NPHW website.
And spread the word. It’s great that the American Public Health Association is taking a stand on climate change, let’s do what we can to support them.
This is a good one! I’ve been trying very hard this year to make changes to my not-so-ideal diet. It’s actually even helped me to save money on my groceries because I’m being much more selective about what I buy, rather than just buying on a whim.
I find too, that when I spend a little more on organic food, I am more careful with it — I plan out my meals better and don’t let it go bad.
