Organic Gardens a result of Consumer Demand

Consumer demand is changing the way we do business. Karen Kelly, Chef at Houston's Restaurants on Beverly Drive, Los Angeles, is making a difference with organic gardens providing the finest basil, arugula and mint. Quality is in demand. And there's the stewardship as the workers and guests are amazed by an artichoke plant while sipping wine in a garden. The cost benefit? It's immeasurable.

Kudos to the Hillstone Restaurant Group for they have the foresight to see beyond the monetary costs. Inspired by the restaurant trend of serving organic food such as at the famed Alice Waters and Ches Panisse in Northern California, the Hillstone Restaurant Group (Houston's Restaurant) has the foresite to see the demand for organic food and they are doing something about it! It's all an education process.

Let's all keep up the good work!

"While organic farming techniques generally yield about 30 percent less food per acre in developed countries, studieshave shown the reverse in the Third World. Overworked land benefits when organic techniques help return nutrients to the soil."

Jill's Tips!

Hello!

In case you are not always motivated to eat fruits and veggies for your health, then how about for nice legs?!

Eating more fruits and veggies can prevent varicose veins. Studies show that the flavenoids found in fruits and veggies such as cherries, blueberries, broccoli and carrots improve venous elasticity and tone, and help prevent venous insufficiency, which leads to those unsightly varicose veins.

So have an extra serving of veggies tonight--one for health and one for beauty!

Have a good week,

Jill
