“More than ever it matters that we know and understand about our food, where it comes from, how it grows and who grows it. It matters because not only does it affect everyone on the planet, it affects the planet itself” Michael Morpurgo
Choose well! We can all choose things Not everyone is free to choose what they eat all of the time. What we choose affects other people.
Something to think about as we enjoy our meals today... Today may we appreciate our food and remember those who are hungry. May we appreciate our family and friends and remember those who eat alone. May we appreciate the freedom we have and remember those who have less freedom to choose.
