“More than ever it matters
that we know and
understand about our food,
where it comes from, how it
grows and who grows it. It
matters because not only
does it affect everyone on
the planet,
it affects the planet itself”
Michael Morpurgo
Choose well!
We can all choose things
Not everyone is free to choose what
they eat all of the time.
What we choose affects other people.
Something to think about as
we enjoy our meals today...
Today may we appreciate our food and
remember those who are hungry.
May we appreciate our family and friends
and remember those who eat alone.
May we appreciate the freedom we have
and remember those who have less
freedom to choose.
