On this day of gratitude, we’d like to take a moment to thank you for joining us on this journey to transform health, healthcare and the health of our planet. We'd like to share with you our deep gratitude for your partnership, for the food we will eat and its ability to comfort and heal, as well as our gratitude for food's ability to foster deeper relationships with each other and the world.

Food is far more than nutrients, far more than calories, and far more than a tool for reversing disease. At its essence, food is relationship. And, if you think about the relationship we have with the food on our plates, it is a relationship that extends all the way back to the soil that has produced the food. It is a relationship with the sun and the rain. It is a relationship with the farmer and the farm family that planted and harvested the food. It is a relationship with every stakeholder in the process of getting the food to your plate.
 
The relationship with the food on our plates and why we eat it not only speaks to our culture and heritage, but it also impacts our mood and the moods of those around us.  And, the food we eat deepens our relationship with the resources that we are stewarding for future generations including the soil, the land, and the waterways.
 
In every way, the food we consume is the essence of relationship.  
 
And thus, today we share with you our deepest gratitude for you, for the food we are lucky to enjoy, and for its ability to act as a bridge to deepen our relationships with each other, our communities and the planet.  We are so grateful that you have chosen to join us on this journey and we hope you have many opportunities to enjoy delicious, healthful and nourishing meals with friends and family this holiday season.

With thanks and gratitude,
