As the end of the year rolls around I am thinking a lot about New Year’s resolutions and one that is pretty consistent is to eat better each year. The problem is usually staying motivated enough to actually only eat half a piece of gluten and dairy free key lime pie. Tonight I had two pieces. Yes they were allergen free, but no it was not a good idea.

I find health and food related documentaries very helpful in staying motivated to do the right thing. Well if they are good ones. Food Fight is a good one. It reminded me of the first time I ever ate fresh spinach. I could not even believe it was related to canned spinach. I was astounded. Then I remember showing my husband the color difference between organic and conventional frozen spinach. They were not even the same color. Recently he tried to eat a non organic apple after years of only eating organics. He could not finish it, it tasted so bad.

So if you want to get motivated to believe that healthy food is not only good for you, but also amazingly flavorful and decadent you may want to enjoy the film while it is still free on hulu.

Oh and if you think your kids won’t eat it, think again. Two summers ago my son and a bunch of other kindergarteners had a garden club where they grew their own veggies. At the end of the summer this group of six year olds then proceeded to harvest and devour them.

Try organic raw veggies. They taste wonderful.
