some thoughts on food

3 amazing couples have made their way to the gallery, check em out!:

the streak began last friday. with our fridge recently replenished with wholesome goodness- it started. the eating out. we hit six restaurants in three days before we called it quits. (two urban licks, sun in my belly and fellini’s among others, so good!).

on sunday night, we were really struck to find ourselves feeling sick and lethargic- but people eat out all the time, right? right! what makes our experience different? i’d love to launch into explaining our organic, fair trade, grass fed, sustainable lifestyle but that would be a stretch. we don’t really budget for that so you will, in fact, find bleached flour, white sugar and a few instant lunches lurking in our pantry. so it isn’t that. maybe we usually eat slightly more balanced meals at home and practice some sort of portion control? i don’t really know.

what i do know is that after seeing so clearly the effects of typical restaurant food we were motivated to talk about how much healthier we could be at home. we do tend to eat fresh but maybe we should live that strictly organic, fair trade, grass fed, sustainable lifestyle i mentioned previously. if three days of restaurant food can change us for the worse, maybe three days of eating pure whole foods could dramatically change us for the better? maybe my logic is flawed but i’m tempted to try it. i should really do some research…

on a different note, be sure to check back tomorrow for some changes we’re going to be making!
