I really believe that true success is bigger than financial rewards/achievements and goes right back to fundamental attitudes and practices such as respect for yourself, others, the environment -including the very food we eat. I have learned over the last few years that we really ARE WHAT WE EAT. When you understand this it changes the way you eat - what you look for when it comes to food purchases as well as other types of goods. You start to ask more questions and to look for certain labels identifying  what I will term the RESPECT level of the product  you are considering- is it local, free-range, organic, fair-trade and so forth. Considering the quality of life of the animals that you are choosing to consume will give you a clear indication as to whether or not the meat you will eat is from most contented animals who have lived out a natural life or as in many cases the animals are stressed, sickly and/or demented. These kind of choices always have a knock on effect to your long term health and well-being. Consuming sickly/stressed flesh should tell you something about how your body will be able to utilise it. It is the same when buying other foods such as fruit and vegetables. Have they flown from the other side of the world? Does it have any nutritional value? Have the products been cruelly tested on animals? Of course you don’t want to get obsessive about it but on the other hand neither do you want to be ignorant about these factors either. Making gradual changes to some of your shopping habbits is the best way to go about it. Remember as in everything - what you sow is what you reap. So next time you are out shopping ask yourself how you are showing respect to yourself/others buy what you are buying and most of all enjoy the pleasure of making more informed, successful choices.
