I hate that every time I sit down to blog I feel as though I need to apologize for having neglected this virtual journal. So…I’m sorry again.

But today I bring you interesting news of great proportions that should matter to all people:
I’ve recently been on a quest for better health. I mentioned here that I had started reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma as an ebook. I thought reading it as an ebook might help reduce the amount of time that it takes me to actually finish a book.

I made it through the first 800 pages in no time at all (800 iPhone pages people…different from book pages). And those first 800 pages inspired me to make my single largest dietary change to date. Mind you, this is not a book about what you should be eating. It’s about what you’re already eating. How it’s processed and the repulsive, yet very creative, industry that is food. It is definitely not the most exciting read that I have picked up this year (I have to admit that I quit The Omnivore’s Dilemma sometime shortly after page 800), but it educated me.

Now back to that single largest dietary change to date…I cannot bring myself to eat meat since reading this book (and watching Food, Inc, in which Michael Pollan collaborated). I am not saying that I am quitting meat forever, but I promise you that the next cow I eat will be grass-fed. I promise you that I will avoid processed food as much as possible and when I do have to consume processed food, I will read the label.

Now I’m going to stop myself before I become that preachy vegetarian who everyone hates.

Stay tuned for my next compelling book review: The Sivananda Companion to Yoga.
