One way to start the new year is by eating better. January is probably the month when more people vow to eat better, lose weight and start working out, than any other month of the year.
Eating better is also one way to take a big step in living more sustainably. Conveniently, doing better for your health usually also means doing better for the planet, and our food choices are a perfect example of this (along with walking more rather than always jumping in your car for a short trip).
