DISCLAIMER: I am not on WW, never have been and probably never will be. I don't know a thing about points, except in ACC basketball (go heels!)

okay, okay, this is a rant. I had two cups of tea today, and that makes me rant well into the night.

I do know that eating whole foods is terribly important--for the body, for the planet--including eggs if you are so inclined to have them in your diet (I am not veggie/vegan either). I truly believe that if we paid more attention to where our food comes from and truly appreciate that (local whole foods, learn to really cook, etc., etc.), we would not have the collective weight and health issues that seem to plague North America for the past few decades.

I am talking about the collective, here, not the individual, so please don't take this as an attack on any of you, my TE friends. I have no problem with using systems like WW to get a kick-start, but good health and good eating go way beyond that, and last a lifetime, and can be so enriching--farmers markets, gardening, Slow Food, local farms, CSAs...

and a plug for GLC--she does awesome things with goats milk!! She's my Local Whole Food DIY Queen of the the Northwest inspiration!
