Go Green but Skip the Beer this St. Patrick’s Day

This St. Patrick’s day I saw green hats, green things sticking up from people’s hair, green wigs, green attire and.. you get the drift. I’m sure plenty of Guinness, Irish coffee and soda bread, eggs, ham and other typical St. Patty’s day food and drinks were also consumed. But, when I think green, it isn’t green beer but instead green as in produce, vegetables, stuff that grows from the ground and isn’t processed. The kind of stuff that seems to be missing from the diets of most people I talk to. They run down their intake for the day and the first thing I’m thinking is “where’s the produce?” And sadly enough, sometimes there is nothing but processed food at each meal and it’s a challenge to get them to eat a bit cleaner and greener.

So this St. Patrick’s Day I urge you to think green year round and start eating green as well.
