You are what you eat!

Recipes are something wondrous to me. Part chemistry, sociology, economics, and agriculture, they have the power to bring everyone to the dinner table for at least a few moments in a day to break bread and feast on the bountiful harvest of the season courtesy of your local favorite big box grocery store.

Nowadays, for the majority in America at least, the challenge is not the availability of food, but the choice and the cost of it. We are a nation so wealthy and health conscience, we make reality television shows of people who made the wrong choices with their diet and now have become fat or even obese. They can't seem to lose weight on their own without the benefit of a camera watching them angst over feeding their face and then exercise with a professional trainer to the point of near exhaustion. Tis sad to watch, in a way.

You are what you eat. You reap what you sew. You get fat because you eat way, way, way too much.
