I spent time over the last two days at First Presbyterian Church of Neenah – giving a retreat day on Saturday and preaching at morning services on Sunday. I noticed on a bulletin board in the hallway a display titled 10 Commandments of Food. Each week the Interim Pastor of the church has been sharing another one of the commandments. They seemed to me worth sharing; perhaps there is one or more you would like to focus on practicing:
- Give Thanks for the food you eat.
- Eat food grown as close as possible to where you live.
- Strive for all people o have knowledge about and access to affordable, nutritious food.
- Eat mindfully and in moderation.
- Do not waste food.
- Be grateful to those who grow and prepare food for your table.
- Protect the biodiversity of seeds, soils, ecosystems, and the cultures of food production.
- Reduct the environmental damage of land, water and air from food production and the food system.
- Support fair wages for farmworkers, famers and food workers.
- [Have to wait another week for this one to be revealed.]
