Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
—Albert Schweitzer, French philosopher, physician, and musician (Nobel 1952)

Did you know?

In 1960, Americans spent 18% of our income on food and 5% on health care.

Today, Americans spend 9% of our income on food and 17% on health care.

It may seem like you're saving when you buy cheap food in the grocery store but you end up paying for it in other ways. It may seem expensive to buy healthy foods (although it doesn't always have to be!) but it is also expensive to spend your hard earned cash on medications down the road.

Think of your food as medicine (and no, people, doughnuts are not medicine... sorry). Fill your body with life-giving, energy enhancing fruits, veggies, beans, and whole grains. Your body will thank you!
