Commentary
For 20 years, I helped build and run organic, plant-based restaurants in California called Café Gratitude and Gracias Madre. Their foundational mission is shaped by a simple idea: food is medicine. Everything was organic. No synthetic herbicides. No pesticides. I believed then, and still believe now, that any amount of chemical residue is too much for human health, especially for children whose bodies are still laying the foundations for life.
