Food Labels Series Recap

I have learned a LOT about food during my research on food labeling, which could probably go on forever! It really reemphasized what I already knew, see Food Inc., and reminded me that although I take care of my body physically, what I put in my body is just as important. You may say, Yes, but where do you get all of this pastured, grass-fed, organic, good for you food?? It may be easier than you think!

This is our buddy Lance from the Triangle Farmers Market. His family owns Richardson Farms and they sell grass-fed beef, pastured chickens and eggs and all kinds of pastured pork products. You can buy one thing at a time or buy in bulk. You can even fill out an order form and he will have it ready for you at one of the Farmer's markets they go to!

Family fun at the Triangle!

Even if you can't make it to one of the farmer's markets, there are lots of places around town that you can get this kind of stuff like Natural Grocer on Guadalupe or order online and have it shipped strait to your home.

Eat Whole Foods, Paleo and Additive FREE!

How many of you skip breakfast, eat whatever because you are on the run, buy all of your food from the grocery store???








































1. It is essential for you to start your day off with a good breakfast to refuel your body after your "sleep fast" and to get your brain working for the day. I usually eat eggs with any combo of peppers, onions, sausage, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms. Cooked in organic virgin coconut oil, of course.

2. Make an effort to cook and store protein, fruit/vegg and fats that are easy to assemble for snacks and meals. Especially if you are a busy person. See how Melissa "Melicious" Joulwan gets ready for the upcoming week of paleo eating here!

3. Make the time to get out and shop at your closest farmer's market. We shop at the year round FM at the Triangle on Wed. from 3-7pm. They have fresh and local fruit, vegg, pastured eggs, chicken, pork, beef and all kinds of pesticide and additive free Whole Foods! They also have live music and a huge area for your kids and pets to play in the grass or in the water fountain!
