Hello pumpkin!
Meet our small family
We started exploring ways to reduce food waste at home a few years back. Noticing how challenging it could be, we decided to engage in a journey through mindful eating and better food choices.
Since then, we have been learning a few things about what the food system offers us: how it impacts our health, our communities, and the environment. The more we learn, the more we realise how little we know and how complex our food system truly is... There's not such thing as absolute good, but there are many ways in which we can improve our food system and reduce our environmental impact.
As we came to understand the complexity of the food chain in our modern urban areas, we realised that we needed to tackle a more holistic view of food habits, where the aim is to increase curiosity and appreciation. Our aim is to increase recognition of real efforts, instead of assuming perfection. And to encourage more businesses all over the world to become more mindful of their important role they play in our communities and within the environment.
The mindful eating guide...
We love our beautiful planet and we love our delicious food; and we believe that food experiences should be healthy and sustainable by default.
Discovering new food is always exciting! But we suffer when we want to discover food that is yummy and at the same time healthy, ethical, and environmental-friendly. We believe that food businesses that truly care should have a special place to reach foodies who also truly care.
Every little thing we eat (or don't) has an impact on our bodies and on our planet. A simple sandwich we grab for lunch can have quite an interesting story behind: Starting from its packaging. Then, sure, ingredients. And even food waste.
#mindfuleatups is a community of curious, wise, and ethical foodies. Eating mindfully means being present with our food, enjoying every aspect of our eating experience with all our senses. It also means appreciating every bite and the stories behind it. And lastly, it's about increasing awareness of the long term impact to us as individuals and to our world.
Our small family believes that adding a bit of love to everything we do, and of course, to everything we eat, can help us make this world a better place.
We love eating ...mindfully! We are here to enjoy food, and at the same time, to help each other make better food choices, for ourselves and for our planet.
Welcome to our exploration of mindful food choices!
