#changingthemenu

Many of us have a tendency to be hard on ourselves. We learn from a young age how to be self critical. harsh. pushing. punishing. forcing. harder. faster. better and all that. and more often than not, we crumble under the pressure. beneath the haze of "action" we disconnect from ourselves.

Can we re-educate ourselves to become more tender? more considerate of ourselves?

We are interested in getting America to eat better. To that end, we are happy to let you know about the Washington Post’s America Answers: Changing the Menu event, on Thursday, March 26. This event “will take a deep dive into food and wellness — what we eat, how we move and how to ensure a healthy, well-fed America,” the paper says.

A variety of big names in food will be there, including food expert Marion Nestle, Secretary of Agriculte Tom Vilsack,  Debra Eschmeyer, Executive Director, Let’s Move!, Cristeta ‘Cris’ Comerford, White House Executive Chef, and Lauren Bush Lauren, Founder and Chief Executive, FEED Projects.
