“With each meal, we make choices that help or harm the planet. ‘What shall I eat today?’ is a very deep question. You may find that as you practice mindful eating and begin to look deeply at what you eat and drink, your desire for certain foods may change. Your happiness and that of the Earth are intertwined.”
