You shape your environment and then your environment shapes you

​

"We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us."

-Winston Churchill

​

Arguably, of all the different environments that we could control or have some influence over, the control over the contents of our refrigerator and cupboard will give you more bang for the buck. 

​

Other important environments that shape us

​

• The people we live with and don't live with and our understandings with those people

• The pets we live with or don't live with

• The basic structure of our living space 

• The furnishing and arrangement of semi-permanent support sub-structures (examples: chairs, cabinets, beds)

• The tools and machines easily available to us (examples: mobile phone, computer, induction cooker, TV, Internet connection, power drill, hammer)

• The clothing that we have available to us in our home

• The atmosphere and decoration of our living space

• The ambient temperature, humidity, pollution level, sounds, lights, smells

• Your modes of transportation

• Safe environment factors (likelihood of theft or violence, smoke alarms, seat belts and airbags, non-slip bathroom surfaces)

• The neighborhood, city, or country you live in

​

The fridge trumps all other environment factors (fridge = all the places you keep food in your home)

​

All these environmental domains over which you have some level or control or influence, even though each can be quite important, none are more instrumental in the quality of your life than how you exercise control over the contents of your refrigerator and cupboard.

Americans are malnourished

​

Because of this, we are overweight, low energy, diabetic, suffer from from arteriosclerosis and cancer, and our immune systems are shot.

​

Obviously we are not malnourished from lack of calories, we are malnourished from lack of vital nutrients per calories consumed.
