IF I AM WHAT I EAT; I HAVE TO BE TURNING GREEN. I thought I would add a little humor with a lot of truth thrown in for good measure. Collectively, as we are a composite of all of the people, good or bad, we have had relationships with during our lives; so are we a composite of what we eat. I saw a picture of colorful healthy foods and its caption was “Eat a Rainbow” and it resonated with me how we desire to gaze at a beautiful rainbow and maybe, if we continue to practice eating colorful foods someone appreciate our “rainbows”.
To add to this thought, I am including a collection of quotes which some well known people have said the same thing but in different words.
An interesting article in Goodreads Daily Quotes offered a great buffet of relative quotes.

Didn’t you enjoy these quotes? Maybe not as much as some of the foods we have eaten, hopefully in the past. As my husband and I move toward a healthier lifestyle, selecting a healthier choice in our grocery shopping, preparation, and presentation has allowed us to accept this is not a prison sentence but a door to better living. I found it amazing when society talks about saving the environment and not producing waste; they chose “Going Green” as their theme. I consider my husband and I as the Green Team adding more good greens and natural foods as the main players in our eating regime.
I find it more colorful and losing weight and getting healthier leads to a more colorful life.
