Love the seasonal guide! Thanks so much Ali! (also, I’m so glad I live in NY now so I’m on the same produce schedule as you!)

This is such an important message. I truly believe the sooner our culture understands that there is no such “one diet fits all,” the more we can start focusing on taking care of ourselves, and maybe lowering the rate of preventative disease (ie. heart disease, diabetes) we see in this country.

Nothing is more frustrating than when someone comes up to my office and asks me to “hand them a diet.” Your lifestyle is your own, and the way we choose to eat within that lifestyle should be no exception.

In reply to Susan. Right, that's why I say "veggies & fruits"!! Apples and pears are on there as well! Thanks for the feedback, always.

I think the nutrition talk is good advice. I know from personal experience going from vegetarian to vegan and back to omnivore, that some ways of eating just don’t work for me. I was pretty much starving myself nutritionally by trying to be vegan, and my body told me that.

I hate to be too technical, but FYI a butternut squash is NOT a root vegetable. It is technically a fruit, which is made clear by the fact that it has seeds. Rutabagas, turnips, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, celeriac, radishes and carrots are all examples of root vegetables. 🙂
