the no B.S. roadmap
to healthier choices

While co-teaching a five-day food and nutrition intensive, a student approached me in tears. “How do you eat anything knowing all that you know?” After a long pause, I offered, “Knowing what I know actually makes it easier. Then, educated choices are possible.” She was listening. “Picture a pitch-dark tunnel you must walk through. Do you want to do so with a flashlight or without?” She replied, “With a light of course.” I added, “Well, the tunnel is nourishment, do you want to make your food choices in the dark or with some light?”

While there are multiple sources driving your food choices–from media to health “experts” to labeling, claims, and lingo—it’s what’s in your food and what’s being done to your food that really matters.
