A Short Piece of Advice

Americans are so rushed and busy these days that many people find the easiest things to eat on the go. I would just like to ask everyone to slow down and enjoy the process of sitting down to a meal. Good food should never be rushed. We have disconnected ourselves not only from where our food comes from, how it is made, but now we have disconnected ourselves from each other by eating our meals alone, in our cars, and sometimes in front of computer screens. 

So I ask that at least once a day you sit down with others and enjoy a meal slowly. Then reflect upon if you enjoyed the meal more, connected more with the person you are eating with, and perhaps you may discover that you have slowed down to choose a better for you meal and have possibly eaten less because you are actually concentrating on what you are putting into your body.
