Last Wednesday, our mischievous cat Arthur – not to be confused with our mannerly cat Frodo – came prancing through the cat flap with a baby squirrel in his mouth. I heard it before I saw it; the wee critter was squeaking up a storm.

(Editor’s Note: This essay first appeared in Lowcountry Weekly in September of 2008. It has been edited for republication.) A couple of mornings ago, the phone rang here at my home office, and despite the unfamiliar number on my caller I.D., I picked up. Remember the good ol’ days when you just answered the phone? I was feeling nostalgic, I guess. Plus, the call was coming from Los Angeles, and Jeff has family and friends out that way, so I thought maybe, just maybe, the call was legit.

When I decided to make a lifestyle change that would improve my health and overall wellness, I knew I needed to stop feeding myself accidentally and take a proactive approach. I started reading labels and learning more about nutrition and I began asking people I deemed “healthy” what they ate. I kept hearing the term organic and then began seeing the round “Organic” label on products in the grocery store and it sparked my curiosity.
