Um, Food

July 2, 2010 by gracefulfitness Leave a Comment

I’m back!

Sorry for the absence of posts all week.  I promise I will give you the full run down on my week from hell tomorrow.  Right now I am still a bit too worn out to go into details.

What I will say is that Tate and I flew from Beijing to Portland, Oregon yesterday and I am THRILLED to be back “home”.  Even if we are actually still a bit “homeless”.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a Dutch women about food and nutrition and she asked me “isn’t it difficult to eat well in the States?”.  I responded an emphatic ” no way, it’s the easiest place in the world”.  She said “but there are so many fast food restaurants”.  “Yes, but there are SO MANY OPTIONS!”.

By our last few days in China I couldn’t eat anymore because I was so disgusted by the lack of quality food and REAL food. When I arrived to my sister’s house  in Portland yesterday I picked a few lettuce leaves from her garden, nibbled them, and all of a sudden my hunger can rushing back to me.

I head to bed tonight with a happy belly and gratitude to live in a country with an abundance of quality, nourishing food available to me.
