Last March, the Love-Of-My-Life and I made a change in our diet. We started eating healthier. We don't eat out very often but there were way to many processed foods in our cabinet. I am a child raised in the 70's when processed food hit it big. Kraft Mac and Cheese is comfort food. There are some dishes that require Velveeta... right? And what about Twinkies? Apparently, Twinkies can survive a Zombie Apocalypse or at least that is what the movies imply.
My train derailed a little there, but the point is this: eating healthier requires having access to fresh food. Fresh fruit is a luxury in winter. Back in the days of "Little House on the Prairie", an orange in a Christmas stocking was a special treat. Today, we have not only oranges, but lemons, grapefruit, limes and Clementines at the grocery store ever day of the week.
There are men and women who drive night and day in all kinds of weather so that we all have fresh fruit all winter long. Vitamin C becomes vital to helping us stay healthy and citrus fruits are packed full of it. If you enjoyed a citrus fruit today... thank a truck driver.
"The land produced vegetation—all sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good."-Genesis 1:12
It is, indeed, good!
Today, I am grateful for the truck drivers who haul fresh fruit
