Podcast Episode 10: Processed Foods Slow Down Calorie Burning [ 14:23 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (17)

Yes. Today is the day we celebrate this great green earth. Earth day seems as random to me as mother’s day, father’s day, family day and valentine’s day. Do we really need a reminder to appreciate our parents, the sweet purity of love, family and the planet on which we live? Seems so.
