There's no reason the holidays can't be healthy. Food is food whether is made for one or 15 of your nearest friends and family around a side dish laden table.
It's all in the ingredients, the love and care you put into your meal and with whom you share it.
Start your Thanksgiving Day by playing with the dog, taking a run, hike or by joining Hailey's annual
Turkey Trot. The fresh air and exercise will help boost your metabolism, and keep your head clear when trying to deal with details like where to seat your Uncle Harold.
Make sure your food is fresh, locally-sourced (if possible) and organic. Why do we want local food? Because factory farmed food has in it antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and has been fed GMO feed, with no animal welfare factor. Poor animal, very poor meat.
When you buy locally you support your friends, neighbors, the environment in which you live, your health and, of course, the farmers in your area.
Health? If we stuff ourselves with tons food are we still healthy. Yes. If you eat good real food. Real food has inherent nutrients. Industrial food does not.
Plus, food from nearby, which hasn't been plucked, harvested, packaged, processed,
shipped and
warehoused, tastes 100 percent better. Real food just does.
At dinner, start with seasonal fruit like an apple, persimmon, late berries, sliced pear; a salad with pomegranates and nuts, or a light soup, all of which helps your digestion get started.
Make your portions small, a half cup or less. If that's too vague, while the delicious smells waft by, grab an ice cream scoop to make your portions. This will give you a taste of the goodies without splurging, which sets off a domino effect for the rest of the holiday season.
Dessert? Apple pie, pumpkin pie, pear tart. whatever it is, use local produce. Make it from scratch, and enjoy!

Nearly a century ago, the idea of "local food" would have seemed completely odd, since all food was local. Food for daily consumption including fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and dairy products were all grown at home or sourced from local farms.
Alas today, most of the food consumed in the U.S. and, increasingly, around the globe, is sourced from industrial farms and concentrated animal feeding operations, which power a food system rife with environmental, economic, and health-related problems.
In
Farm to Table, Darryl Benjamin and Chef Lyndon Virkler explore how the farm-to-table philosophy pushes back modern, industrialized food production and moves beyond isolated "locavore" movements into a broad and far-reaching coalition of farmers, chefs, consumers, policy advocates, teachers, institutional buyers, and many more all working to restore healthful, sustainable, and affordable food for everyone.
Divided into two distinct but complementary halves, "Farm" and "Table,"
Farm to Table first examines the roots of the contemporary industrial food system, from the technological advances that presaged the "Green Revolution" to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz's infamous dictum to farmers to "Get big or get out" in the 1970s.
