Happy Fourth of July!

Cayucos July 4th, 2010 Parade

 

Let’s celebrate our freedom to take control of our own destiny and resist holiday binge eating!

Let’s allow people to say “no” if they don’t want another helping of barbecued ribs or cake!

Let’s bring plenty of nice water to the picnic instead of soda pop!

Let’s celebrate the abundance that puts good, fresh, healthful food within the reach of so many of us!

P.S. Let’s have fun!
