Tomorrow’s Health Starts Today
Become a Farsighted Foodie Today!
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started." Mark Twain
What is a farsighted foodie?
(Adjective) Having or showing foresight or good judgment
(Noun): A person with a special interest in or knowledge of food
When applied to health and wellness, it means one who adopts, promotes, and takes the mystery out of a Whole Food / Plant-based (WFPB) way of eating.
This easily involves eating foods that are minimally processed. This includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils), tubers (potatoes, yams, root veggies), nuts, and seeds. It limits or avoids animal products (meat, fowl, fish, eggs, and dairy), and refined foods like sugar, white flour, and processed oils.
What it’s not:
It’s not a diet.
It’s not a fad.
It’s not about restriction.
It’s not about skipping meals.
It’s not about calorie counting.
It’s not about carefully measuring or weighing portions.
It’s not about giving up flavor.
It’s not about going hungry or starving oneself.
It’s about: Joy, Abundance, Health, Wealth, and Well-being.
Why eat plant based anyway?
