Food revolution.

I was driving to work the other morning and watched someone throw an item out of their window going nearly 65 mph. Normally, this would make my blood boil not to mention warrant a very critical (yet safe) passing look at said driver.

Not too many things get me more upset than car trash, particularly cigarettes, discarded out windows onto highways, sidewalks and city streets — habits that generally prompt me to think, aloud, “If it’s too disgusting for even your car then why would you ever want that in your body?”*

However, this particular time I realized that said trash from said driver was an apple core — and while still technically littering — and still making me (safely) angry — I actually thought, aloud, “Wow. I’m so glad that person was eating a piece of fruit.”

I just finished watching my fourth episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and am shocked at the state of food consumption in the U.S. (No TV? No problem. You can watch all of the episodes here, for free-99: hulu.com/jamie-olivers-food-revolution)

Granted I live in a bubble of incredible food — even the snacks at my work are organic and fresh — learning new and healthy recipes will help anyone, chronic illness or not.

*How cigarettes discarded onto streets are not considered highly offensive to everyone not to mention illegal (city run-off generally goes directly into the OCEAN) still gets me — but that is another tangent I won’t venture down today.
