28 Day Food Challenge

Wow! The last 28 days have flown by! I have learned so much and if nothing else, learned I have a lot to learn. That is life, though, isn't it?

• I was excited to learn this week about all the health benefits that can come from properly raised meat--including red meat, pork and lard. I have started a preliminary look into where I can obtain these. 
• I found out that my turkey broth from Thanksgiving that gelled meant I did something right (not sure what) instead of wrong as I had originally feared. Yay!!
• I read about the vast benefits to eating organ meat but am not quite ready to cross that bridge. *grin*
• Did a little reading about fish and seafood--sustainable vs fishing that destroys, wild caught fish vs farm raised, issues raised by pollution, etc. There's a lot more reading and learning I need to do in this area.
• I've done some thinking and planning about growing our food. We're thinking about doing a "community" garden at Amanda's this summer. Then we don't have to worry about how to keep our dogs out and can share the work.
• I feel like I have some direction now in making changes to how we eat and live. 

I think, if I let it, I could become paralyzed from all the information and overwhelmed at all of the changes. To keep that from happening, I want to focus on each of the "summary points" Jenny gave us at the end. I'll take one at a time and work at it until it becomes routine and then add another. Some of them will naturally feed into each other which helps too. I will keep posting my thoughts on this area. Thanks for listening to all my ramblings on this over the past few weeks.
