Food is not just fuel - it can nourish, inspire meditation, and delight... Or harm, destroy and injure. It's up to the eater to languish in unconsciousness or rise above that to an awakened sense of the possibility of a greater value.
My creation this morning is comprised of two cage-free, grain-fed eggs fried in extra virgin coconut oil with grass-fed cheese from New Zealand. Yes, it's on conventional toast and I can't recall whether the veggies sautéed on top were organic on this occasion. Yes, the carbon footprint of the cheese is probably not the greatest (locally-produced would've been better). My point is that I am aware of those things. Aware that eggs from the farmers market this summer will be even more nutritious. Aware that bread I could bake here at home would be artificial preservative-free. And totally delighted with the morning's creation nonetheless because I have put the thought behind it. Plus, it was delicious!
