Treating yourself with special food is cultural, psychological, spiritual, and social. In such an affluent society, foods that are meant for special times are consumed excessively. I’m not going to name any one particular item, because the problem is all the special carbohydrate combinations we each allow into our bodies. The combination is too high. The list includes edibles that are commonly considered health foods. We often don’t count “health foods” in the list of total carbohydrates for the day, but our Western menus are high in carbohydrates. Don’t get me wrong, healthy calories are better than unhealthy ones, yet they still count. Vegetables, excluding corn and potatoes, are carbohydrates that can be eaten in unlimited quantities; however, few consider them a “treat”. Our bodies long for vitamins, but our tongues often crave nutrient poor selections. Everyday is a celebration here in a Western culture.

Dandelion Inspirations
Dandelion inspirations. From the humblest of herbs, comes the most life-changing medicine. Who would have thought that a weed we have been poisoning, pulling, and pouncing on for two generations would be a plant that could impact world hunger. Lately I have been inspired to take the dandy challenge. Perhaps it was my friend’s post on one of my favorite blogs that pushed me out of my chair and into the yard. It could also have been my husband’s will to mow the yard. I have been preventing him from mowing over my food/dandelions. (He looked at me like I had three heads, but was sweet to wait.)
