We did it! (But it doesn’t really end today…)

Congratulations on making it through the annual October Unprocessed Challenge! Whether you went completely unprocessed, or just started paying closer attention to what is actually in your food, I hope you can consider the challenge a success.

October Unprocessed Logo

October Unprocessed, at its core, is an awareness exercise. Although many people report feeling better (and losing weight!), the goal isnโ€™t really to change your health in just one month. Itโ€™s to learn about and focus on what youโ€™re putting in your body, and how it affects your health and well-being, and the world around you. I hope youโ€™ve learned a lot this month, and will take that with you moving forward from today. Even though this October has come and gone, October Unprocessed doesnโ€™t really end today โ€“ I hope youโ€™ll take your new-found unprocessed knowledge and build on it, growing and learning for the rest of your lives.

Each year our movementย has grown โ€” and it gives me hope for the future. It means the pendulum is starting to swing back from ultra-processed foods to real food, and itโ€™s gaining momentum. By continuing on this path, we will shiftย our world to what we want it to be. So pleaseย keep seeking outย nutritious, delicious, unprocessed food. The more we demand it, the more the market will provide it, helping ensure everyone will soon have access to unprocessed, wholesome, and affordable food.

Thanks.

Each year I’m blown away by the number of people who volunteer their time, expertise, and talent to make October Unprocessed a success. I would like to thank the Guest Post Authors โ€“ the heroes of October Unprocessed! Together, they brought us stories of inspiration and health, along with many creative “how to” guides, recipes, and resources. I am reminded each year of the incredible people in the food blogging and wellness community. They are one of the finest groups of people Iโ€™ve ever been blessed to know and be a part of, and for that I am truly grateful.

And a big thank you goes out to everyone who took the challenge and participated in any way. The challenge is really about all of you and I hope youโ€™ve had a great experience.
