It was really an eye-opener to see the differences between various cultures. I was amazed at how little produce there was on most people’s menus.

However, what a shame that there is so little recognizable food on most people’s dinner plates. No wonder we have such an epidemic of lifestyle diseases. Go green – eat fruits and veggies and leave the highly processed foods alone! Let’s try to make our menus look like a poster advertisement for farmers!
