We recently decided that the best way to eat healthy organic food is to have it delivered right to our door. That was 3 days ago, and we just received our first delivery from Mama Earth Organics this afternoon. The result: yummy pears are already in our bellies.
If you don’t have a fruit bowl in plain view, you’re probably not eating much fruit. It’s important to have good quality whole foods available to you at all times, or you’re not going to eat them! As much as we dislike pitching uneaten vegetation into the trash, it’s better to have plenty of vegetables around rather than eating crap out of boxes that doesn’t go rancid. Real food spoils. To get around throwing away food, plan your meals and shop accordingly.
What is fantastic about this Toronto food delivery service is that you can pick and choose exactly what you want to receive in your basket. I was a little wary at first, thinking we were going to live off a basket full of apples and potatoes for the week, but we have a variety of foods that we were able to choose ourselves for a small fee of $2.
In our box this week we have apples, 2 types of pears, romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, squash, yams, Brussel sprouts, garlic, turnips, red beets, baby leeks, cucumber, celery, and broccoli. All of it is organic and almost all of it is locally grown.
We have been eating more and more organic foods lately. If we are what we eat (and we are, indeed) I don’t want my body or my future children’s bodies’ for that fact made out of pesticides and other scary chemicals. Organic, local food tastes better and it is better for us nutritionally. Now, I’m not going to get in a deep debate about why. Let your own palate decide.
