Call it what you want: Intentional Eating, Mindful Eating or Conscious Consumption. It all comes down to what's in our food, where did it come from and how was it made? Most importantly, how does what we eat affect us physically and mentally? Moreover, what role does it all play in making the world safe and sustainable?

In this episode Harvesting the Truth founder and host, Michelle Adams, shares five stories that led her on a journey of self discovery. That journey has become a mission. Consider this her 30 minute autobiography. It's not the whole story, but it is five important pieces that led her here to hosting this podcast that will all bring us more information. Consider it a short prequel to the start of our first season.

This is the story of a small town girl that became a medical litigator. Michelle tells of a long legal career that flowed into getting back to her roots when she started baking as a hobby and rediscovered her love for farm to table food. She parlayed that into a new career in food entrepreneurship. It was her skills in medical research and her knowledge of food that led her to asking the question, "is it our food?" when she realized there was too much sickness in her family. Analyzing cause and effect in her own kitchen, she came to her answers, which led her to digging deeper still on a new journey of reading labels and understanding ingredients.

Today Michelle shares the important foundation for who she is and what's important to her. It's a snippet of a life story but you will leave the episode understanding a little more about the girl behind the mic. Enjoy!
