For those who are fasting in order to be extra mindful of today’s events, I’m thinking on you. Your act, as you know, goes beyond just you, it will have a positive impact on others. Thank you for this gift of yourself!
For those who may have glycemic issues or just won’t have the energy to knock on doors or drive voters safely to the polls without a meal, may I suggest an alternative fast?
In order to tie into a health-care plan that emphasizes prevention, in order to connect with humanity that cares about its planet, in order for neighbors to better identify with others in their community, try one of these…
- eat from a locally owned restaurant that is known for buying from local growers and reflect on the delicious indigenous flavors
- eat simple meals of beans and rice and reflect on the blessing of choice
- eat low-on-the-food-chain and reflect on the energy and water required to grow and transport your food
Invite someone to join you on your reflection-fast.
If, at the end of the day, you find that your alternative-fuel enabled you to get through the day, try another alternative-fuel-reflection-fast next week.
Each time we consider where our food comes from and make our choices accordingly, we are VOTING for lower energy consumption, or less packaging, or supporting local growers and business owners, and our own good health.
When voting, choose well!

Hi,
What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn’t much better than tedious disease.

Please be clear, I’m not advocating anxiety over exclusive diets but rather making choices that will benefit not only one’s health but also the betterment of one’s neighbors and environment.
Even those on a fixed income can use vouchers to purchase food from local farmers’ markets making whole food accessible to more people.
