You are what you eat

Over the last few years, I've struggled with health issues and found the frustrations leading me to question how I might have participated in the resulting body condition. My questions led me to reflect on all people and how so many suffer with various illnesses -some random, some self-imposed. Over a half million people in the US die each year due to habits they can control. Life is random enough but if we can control our habits, then we can control our destiny. Rather than using stress or barbiturates as examples, I chose food to reflect our link between our collective habits and health. I didn't want this series to imply condescension or judgment.; far from it. I hope my work encourages us to look at our ourselves and ask, "am I grasping for a better life or a quicker death"?
