Greetings!

This week I actually had to put my money where my mouth is and use many of my shortcut methods as we entertained our guests. I got a great opportunity to explore new methods of creating fusion cuisine and received rave reviews as we all grew healthier in the tastiest of ways.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

FAST FOOD FACTS:
----------------------------

Did you know that out of the 45 fruits and vegetables tested for pesticides, grown in the conventional manner, avocados and onions rank the lowest in pesticide levels while peaches and apples rank the highest?

According to the Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce by Environmental Working Group this is the case.

Translation... If you're going to buy conventional know which produce puts you at higher risk for pesticides poisoning. Drop me a line [contact info at end of newsletter] if you want to know more about this and I'll send you a link.

Now let's catch up on this past week's happenings.

CLOSING
---------------

There are so many tools we can use to create better health through our diets. They're inexpensive and folks need to know about them. This newsletter is one of them. So join me in this campaign by sharing this newsletter, The Vegetarian Resource Newsletter with at least [I'm going to push the envelope here and raise it] 15 other people and ask them to do the same. Let's make a positive impact on people's lives and in their health!

By the way... If you have any questions or comments, please send them my way. I'd love to be of service to you and get you the answers that are most important to you.

As always... it's been a pleasure sharing with you. Until next time...
