I just love the study of different diet pills and their effect on the body. I was just thinking about getting some for myself for this holiday eating schedule that I am about to start. There are just way too many sweets and great tasting food in the days ahead. I can almost taste the homemade fudge. The rich taste of turkey gravy makes my lips water. Yes, I do need some sort of control.

I love food. I have to admit and I can’t deny it. I love savory, rich food that focuses on bringing out the best in the ingredients used. This means I appreciate great cooks and chefs who can work their magic to create great dishes. I love how they can take dinner recipes or even dessert recipes and within just a bit of time, they can unveil food that is so tasty and delicious. I am getting hungrier just writing this post.

One of the best ways to improve my health was been exercise. I feel that finally I am feeling free and full of energy. Part of that reason is also the changes in the food I eat. I have found that it’s important to make sure that you are putting the best food you can into your body.

What do I mean by the best food? It means putting in quality food. It means not going for the cheapest food available,but instead looking at the labels and finding the best quality possible. It means making sure that junk food doesn’t find its way to the table.

It also means that my wife and I are going to be planting our own garden this spring. We want to grow our own vegetables and be able to eat them through the year and then in the fall we will be canning the extras.

I don’t know who said that or sang that song. I don’t even know if it’s true but this weekend is the unofficial start of summertime and I think it’s time to relax and have some fun.

This weekend we are having a BBQ. We’ll be inviting some friends over to have some great tasting BBQ. It’s a great chance to touch base with friends we can’t see or talk to as often as we like. It’s also a great time to do some networking. It’s a chance to refresh the address books with new and interesting friends, all while improving business.

I can not believe what is happening with the cost of food lately. I food is now the biggest monthly expenditure in my family’s budget. I have thought lately that we’ve been spending too much on food, but today I decided to run the figures and see for myself. I wish I could say I was surprised with the results.

We now spend more money on food during a month than we spend on rent and utilities, transportation, and even those crazy miscellaneous expenses. We are a family of four and we don’t eat lavishly. I wish I had some good records to see just how much more we are spending for food now than 6 months or a year ago.

I really feel for people in a marginal economic situation. I know when I lived abroad, I know people who would only eat rice with sardines, Malanggay leaves or even just salt. With the way prices are going up, I can imagine that they have no way to cut down on expenses any further and they are just going to resort to being hungry.

I think this means that we will be donating more in our fast offerings using the money we are going to cut from our food budget.
