Shopping 'au natural'

I knew that would get your attention. Now take your mind out of the gutter. I'm not talking about shopping nude.......although that may be a new way to keep people out of the junk food aisle.....I'm talking about visiting a whole foods or a natures market. You should have one in your city or town, you know, the healthy grocery store. 
The moment I walk into my local whole foods market, I feel so good about where I am. I already know that I have new, different and exciting items to check out. I can actually read the  labels and it feels great that I understand the ingredients. I like the different options available to me. I enjoy the hunt to find that one perfect product that I can enlighten my husband with. 
My husband, Kees,  is such a great support. He sees the excitement in my eyes when I show him something new and tell him that it's going to better for our bodies and our planet. My husband actually likes vegan mayo,  I thought it would be a tough switch for the burger and fries guy.
By no means I have completely switched our lifestyle to organic or vegan...I believe the little things make the biggest difference, and keeps everyone happy.  So visit a whole foods or organic market sometime.....try a natural bar of soap or an organic peach, it's fun, you support local farmers, and most of all you may just make the best dinner ever....then you can serve it 'au natural'.......if you know what I mean..... I dare you!!!!
