Aware Eaters, we see you!
If you’re reading these words, we think it's pretty safe to say you’re at least an Aware Eater.
Aware Eaters:
> know that food impacts health
> understand that the way we produce food affects the environment
> recognize that there are humane and inhumane ways to treat the animals we raise for food.
Aware Eaters probably have also:
> skimmed at least one article about regenerative farming
> watched a documentary or read a book about clean eating
> changed at least one eating habit as a result of their awareness and values.
Aware Eaters want to do more, but
they encounter cultural and practical
roadblocks
that often
stop them
from doing the “more” they want to do.
Clean eating roadblocks — sound familiar?
- Time
- Money
- Conflicting information
- Confusing diet protocols
- Picky eaters
- "They don’t sell that kind of food at the grocery store"
- "I don't live near a farm"
- "I'm not a good cook"
- "What about eating out?"
Let's be honest:
Isn't it enough to make even the most aware and compassionate among us want to ride our Toyota Siennas into the sunset?!
And you know what?
You can absolutely do that if you need to. Because it’s your choice.
It’s your family.
You decide.
You deserve the chance to:
> observe your unique situation
> think about what matters most to you and your family
> decide which goals & steps make sense for you
> act in alignment with your choices
In other words, there's another way.
Empowered Eaters:
> Are aware of the same understandings about food and food systems as Aware Eaters
> Encounter the same roadblocks as Aware Eaters
But they also...
> Pause, evaluate and take ownership of their unique family’s eating values and goals
> Consciously decide which approaches to eating work for them and their family — and which don't — in their present season of life
> Take steps of their choosing that a) are in synch with their values, and b) move them toward their unique goals
> Create new paths around the clean eating obstacles that stand between where they are now, and where they want to go
In Your Corner
Are you and your family trying to overcome clean eating obstacles?
Do the roadblocks we mentioned sound familiar?
Would you like to pause, look around, make some conscious decisions, take steps toward health (and around obstacles),
and find community with other Aware & Empowered Eaters who are doing the same?
