Food is a part of my business and it is also a part of my life. I must eat. (unless I am doing the master cleanse, then I must drink) I am living the Grass Root Life. Our menu is indicative of what I eat, it has always been. But when I ask myself, why a certain food that I have always eaten, suddenly upset my stomach so much that I never want to eat it again. The answer was not always as obvious to me as it is now. My awareness has grown. This deals directly deals with my struggle to give up the cooked food addiction, for good. I have waves of strength that carry me through, but to do it always, has been "challenging."
The stomach ache is because I have a heightened awareness of my stomach, my colon, my food intake and it is helping me weed out and sort through the things that I should not be eating. What should I not be eating you may ask, well I listen to my body mostly. I try to be present when I am eating and unhealthy slip up, trying to enjoy it and that usually helps me get it out of my system or better yet, off of my mind. Because it is the awareness in my mind that started this whole thing anyway. My mental awareness created the climate for the physical awareness to blossom. Much like the city person that thinks the country is too quite and cant sleep without the city noises, but when the person is smack in the middle of the country setting he realizes that crickets, frogs, grasshoppers, nightingale birds and various other creatures that I cant think of now, they are all making "noise." It isn't that quiet after all. Once you pay attention mentally to a situation, it creates the climate for awareness to grow.
So having said all that, let your awareness grow in your colon. When you eat something that is not natural food. That means it didn't grow in the ground, be aware of how you feel when you eat it, and hour after you eat it, and most importantly, how did you feel when if left your body? The more you create this awareness within you body (especially your digestive system) there is a solid chance that you will eat less of what is not "good" for YOU!
Food awareness is where it's at. Start there. It is a very good place to start.

Hello. I believe the awareness of our own body is the first step. Then followed by the mind, the soul, and the interconnectedness of us all to all living things. I'm sure we that have frequented grass roots are just those type of people. I wanted to let you, and everyone who reads the blog that I wrote a "review" or a brag on http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/259591/chad_herman.html . I sincerely hope it helps inform millions and that everyone loves it!!
