(F.O.O.=Family of Origin)
How we eat is closely tied to how and where we are raised.
Growing up in Vermont, I ate a lot of dairy.
My parents worked for Cabot Creamery, maker of some of the best cheese, yogurt, and butter imaginable.
My aunt owned dairy cows and provided us with fresh whole milk regularly.
And then there was Ben. And Jerry. What Vermonter could do without those guys? Oh, Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, my love!
My dad took great pride in being a simple "meat and potatoes" man. So our family ate just that, though always with a vegetable of some sort. Steaks, meatloaf, hamburgers, ham...no meal was complete without meat.
