I was born in Kansas and grew up in Texas, but I have lived approximately half of my adult life in Mexico, where I learned to appreciate a wealth of "fruit and stuff" that was new to me. Wherever you live, and whatever else you choose to eat, more fruit and stuff will help you along the road to a healthier life. I hope you will find something here that will encourage you on that journey. Saludos and Salud from Cancun, Mexico!
