Are you ready to take your mindful eating beyond cooking from scratch? Download or stream these food films this weekend!
Don’t think that I’m knocking cooking from scratch here. Making your own food helps you save money, eat better, and often reduce packaging waste. I am very much pro cooking. But cooking only scratches the surface of mindful eating, and these food films delve into why we need to make thoughtful food choices.
All of these food films are available to stream and/or download, so you can watch any of them tonight!
1. Cowspiracy – Cowspiracy is a new documentary on animal agriculture, and it’s a must-see. You can purchase a digital copy through their website or find a screening in your area.
