How do you decide what to eat?  It is rare to find a conscious eater; most often we continue to eat what our family provided when we were small.  And our nutrition begins in the womb, based on how our mother’s ate.  Most don’t even think about the impact of our dietary choices until we find that we are nutrient-deficient or have developed a disease or condition; diabetes, high cholesterol, auto-immune disorders.  Once they are present, we have to address them, but often that comes with a prescription.  What if we become aware of our eating before we have a problem?  What if we help our children to be conscious eaters from the start?
