Saludos from Quintana Roo, Mexico! I grew up in Texas and have lived half my adult life in Mexico. Home-grown tomatoes, green beans, okra, strawberries, peaches, watermelons and pecans were just a few of the plant foods that I enjoyed as a Texas kid. As a newlywed, I moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, where I was introduced to an array of fruits and vegetables that I had never heard of–colorful pitahayas, fragrant guavas, cherimoyas, mangos, avocados and chayotes.
In spite of that colorful background, I had learned to think of a “balanced meal” as meat, potatoes, and maybe a salad. Giving up meat motivated me to eat more fruit and vegetables, and it has made a significant difference in my health. Just adding more plant foods to meals is good for your health even if you don’t give up animal products. When I changed my eating habits, I needed information about nutrition, so I started looking for articles, podcasts, and videos. I started this website as a personal space to collect and organize what I was learning. I found it useful, so I decided it was worth sharing. I hope you will find something here that will result in better health for you too. ~ Mary Ann Lesh
