Organic Food: A Better Alternative To Junk Food

On-the-go families have little time to sit down and concentrate on their eating habits, so here is a crash course on how to convert from a junk food diet to one based upon fresh, seasonal, organic foods.

Begin With Veggies

Since veggies like carrots and cucumbers are common organic foods, perhaps you might begin your transition by eating those for lunch and then add some roughage like raw spinach or lettuce to the repertoire later on. Organic food is often found in the Parr fridge.

Salad-ify Your Dinners

Build a great rapport with salads: they are your friends. Adding a side salad to your dinner is a great way to convert your body over from a junk food intake. Undressed salads with raw vegetables make for an excellent beginning to an organic food diet.

If you decide to try organic salads, you’ll have the opportunity to discover many great restaurants offering this cuisine. You may even consider eating only a salad at dinner time so the organic food will have a chance to pass through your system while you sleep. This is an excellent way for those wary of the whole organic food diet transition to become quickly accustomed to the new style of food.

Organic food is, by and large, the best tasting and most healthy food capable of keeping your body cleansed of impurities.

Parr Fridge

Star date:  3-4-16

Taking inventory of my refrigerator seemed a noble adventure for a Friday night. Sporting sweatpants, gloves, a red bandana, and a Jazz Fest t-shirt, I jumped in with complete abandon. Kitchen strategy after all is over-rated. Carrots, celery, broccoli, spinach, golden beets, cucumbers, pineapple, and the obligatory blue-green penicillium experiment (I think it used to be a satsuma orange) occupied space in the produce drawers of my fridge. Nothing too surprising there, so I moved on to bottles and jars. Cane syrup, apple juice, fig preserves, soy sauce, pickles and ah, olives — not one jar, but three. Kalamata olives from Greece. It seems that I can never remember while at the grocery store whether I have olives or need olives, so I buy another jar, just in case. Then I discovered, hidden behind less important items, a bottle of “organic chocolate syrup.” Gloves off. Inventory suspended.

A banana-mocha smoothie is a good ending for a Friday night.
