• A Pledge To Yourself

The Whole Foods healthy eating pledge defines who I have become. To see why I absolutely LOVE Whole Foods and why it's way more than just a market PLEASE, I beg you, visit http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/

I Eat Well: I eat a variety of whole foods- real, fresh, natural, organic, local, seasonal and unprocessed as much as possible. I emphasize plant-based foods, no matter what type of diet I generally follow. I minimize refined, highly processed foods and eliminate non-nutritive substances, such as hydrogenated fats and artificial flavorings, colors, preservatives and sweeteners.

I Have Fun: I believe that food should be delicious, pleasurable, and fun. Joyful eating inspires and nourishes my body, mind, and spirit. I celebrate where and how my food is grown and its bond to nature because it compliments and enriches my relationship to my food and my community.

I Take Charge: I accept and appreciate that all dietary paths on the road to health deserve kindness, courtesy, and respect. I seek out tools, education, and guidance to expand my awareness about health-supportive food choices. I am empowered to make the best personal decisions for my own health and well-being.
