After a two week holiday in the South of France, where the food is fresh picked in the morning and on your plate for lunch, I arrived back to New York with a feeling of despair. Whole Foods after the farm??? Freshly picked makes Whole Foods look like the Jolly Green Giant in a can. I had the opportunity to get up to my little vegetable garden and much to my surprise I harvested over a dozen zucchini, fresh green beans, tomatoes and peppers! What a nice surprise to come home to.
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: My lunch today consists of freshly grilled zucchini and peppers from my garden....what's on your plate for lunch? If you don't have a garden, visit your local farmer's market for truly fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh is best, so get on the real party wagon today!

Get Healthy - Grow A Garden
This morning's FT printed an article about China's purchase of a huge quantity of corn (corn for livestock feed is scarce); this will drive the price of soybeans over an already obscenely high rate. Genetically modified foods are being 'grown' en masse to a point of being scary (Mother Nature really should not be messed with). I've been offered a small plot of land to start a much larger herbal garden this year...the space is perfect for some nightshades and squashes as well. I've decided to take the plunge and give it a try. I'll have to have a small conversation with all the hairy and furry critters that might think this is their very own farmer's market...they'll have to share all the veggies with me - the farmer. I, in turn, will have to grow enough so that everyone has enough to eat. At least me, my loved one and all the hairy and furry things that eat the produce from my garden will have organically grown and fresh food.
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: If you have the opportunity to turn a small plot of land into an organic vegetable garden this year - do it! The exercise and fresh air will do you some good, but an organic supply of produce for you and your loved ones will ensure healthy eating!
