Today I'm seeing a film and having lunch with our younger daughter, who is off from work this week. A nice treat, and on a dreary day. I believe the rain is coming. In fact a little came last night. My husband is hard at work on a puzzle, and in between working on that he is reading the third Hunger Games book. I am about to start a new book, and just finished a fun thriller about hedge fund trading. The financial world is not a pretty picture.
I was organizing my books in my studio yesterday and came upon two books from the seventies on vegan eating and healthy recipes. It reminded me that I was doing what my kids are doing now a long time ago, namely, searching for the safest and healthiest food for my family. But now we have an organic cornicopia of food, and so much more information. Yet, fast food and junk food has also risen. We eat too much of everything, the good and the bad. I have long since given up on baking bread, since healthy baked goods abound, but also, I eat out so often, in a way I never did back then. Yes, I can eat salads and choose wisely, but sometimes I don't. The foods are too tempting. My older daughter is trying gluten-free cooking, and I applaud her efforts, and hope she'll be more successful than I was. But the culture pulls us back into unhealthy eating so often. I hope it's changing, but I wonder.
